More quotes by Jack Dorsey
I fell in love with flora of all types, especially ferns. Loved the sparse structure and repetition of shape - almost fractal.
Jack Dorsey
Success is never accidental.
Jack Dorsey
The first complaint we hear from everyone is: 'Why would I want to join this stupid useless thing and know what my brother's eating for lunch?' But that really misses the point because Twitter is fundamentally recipient-controlled - you choose to listen and you choose to leave. But you also choose what to put down and what to share.
Jack Dorsey
Pick a movement, pick a revolution and join it.
Jack Dorsey
Those words are from Lynda Barry's novel 'Cruddy.' I've carried them with me for some time. There's a lot in my life I wasn't expecting. One is the realization that I stood at this pulpit and delivered a reading for my own graduation...15 years ago. Unexpectedly, I'm old.
Jack Dorsey
I spend 90% of my time with people who don't report to me, which also allows for serendipity, since I'm walking around the office all the time. You don't have to schedule serendipity. It just happens.
Jack Dorsey
Technology to me does two things: it increases the velocity of communication and increases the number of people who can participate. That's it. That's really all technology for our entire history has ever done.
Jack Dorsey
You don't have to start from scratch to have a massive impact on the world.
Jack Dorsey
I love cities, and I love city governments in particular. But in politics it would have taken me 8 years from implementing a policy before I would get to see the feedback. With programming I could model the same policies and see the impact immediately. Technology is a far more efficient way to test.
Jack Dorsey
I think that great programming is not all that dissimilar to great art. Once you start thinking in concepts of programming it makes you a better person...as does learning a foreign language, as does learning math, as does learning how to read.
Jack Dorsey
We get to design what we want to see in the world rather than doing what other people think should be done.
Jack Dorsey
It's a matter of invitations versus context. Twitter is really good at providing context, like, I''m having coffee at Third Rail Coffee.' Foursquare is about invitations to places. In this respect Foursquare has started to replace Yelp for me.
Jack Dorsey
The Web provides a very easy way to immediately grasp what's going on. It really offers the transparency, so you can see, especially with the search engine, how people are using Twitter at one glance. The phone doesn't allow for that.
Jack Dorsey
IM is interesting because you look at your buddy list and, at a glance, see what your friends are listening to, what they're working on, what they're doing. The problem was that you were bound to the computer keyboard.
Jack Dorsey
My goal is to simplify complexity.
Jack Dorsey
Twitter has been my life's work in many senses. It started with a fascination with cities and how they work, and what's going on in them right now.
Jack Dorsey
Short term satisfaction will never lead to something timeless.
Jack Dorsey
What I love about New York is just the electricity I feel right away.
Jack Dorsey
I loved couriers. You had this transfer of physical information happening throughout the city and the world. Someone picking up the package, putting it in a bag, going somewhere, taking it out of the bag, giving it to someone else. I thought that was so cool. I wanted to map it, to see that flow on a big screen.
Jack Dorsey
There's an entire universe in every single tweet, and it all really depends on the content as far as how it's going to spread.
Jack Dorsey
