Biz Stone Quotes

I’d dropped out of college to start design thing Picture Quote #1

I knew Mac pretty well. I’d used them when I was younger Picture Quote #1

I started designing book jackets, which was great because I was good at it. And then from there I decided to become a freelance graphic designer and I needed to expand beyond book jackets, so I taught myself web design, and then in 1999 some friends of mine decided to start a company called Xanga.com, which was a very early kind of social network slash blogging community Picture Quote #1

We realized we weren’t really using Odeo, we weren’t investing our own time creating podcasts. We were building a tool that was a great idea for some other people. That’s a dangerous way to go because if you don’t actually use it yourself and love it, then you aren’t going to be as fully invested in it from the start. That’s what leads you to doing side projects Picture Quote #1

Even though running is physically straining, it’s mentally refreshing. Especially when you feel like you’ve accomplished something Picture Quote #1

The two things I use the most are the MacBook Air and my iPhone. Those are my two most-used gadgets that are dented, scratched and smashed Picture Quote #1

Twitter provides a great amount of timely information, but we still need those people to fill out the rest of the story and the context Picture Quote #1

A Twitter update is simple and fast and gets the information and news, and it spreads it very quickly, and it can contain links so you can then link to this whole context of information Picture Quote #1

When a plane lands in the Hudson and there’s a Twitter user on the ferry taking a picture of it, Boom. That’s it. The water is still splashing. Here’s the photo of the thing Picture Quote #1

We can break news really fast. When an earthquake happens, there are people Twittering about it Picture Quote #1

I’m curious about writing in the age of online publishing. Because nobody cares about good writing online Picture Quote #1

I mean, even when it’s really simple, there’s so much amazing beautiful creativity that can come out of that Picture Quote #1

I think we definitely want to focus on the simplicity aspect because it’s something that’s built into the culture even here at Twitter. Constraints inspire creativity Picture Quote #1

We didn’t have anything before Twitter that allowed a group of people roaming around a city to communicate instantly, in real time, and in a coordinated way, in a group Picture Quote #1

I don’t think of Twitter as a social network. I think of it as a messaging system that has a lot of social components to it Picture Quote #1

We did Twitter, and Twitter grew so fast, and in 2006 we spun it out into Twitter, Inc Picture Quote #1

I thought I was going to stay at Google, because it was a great place to work Picture Quote #1

I thought about tennis. But the more I thought about the whole thing - lessons, equipment, going to the courts - I said screw it, I’m just going to go buy a pair of sneakers and go running Picture Quote #1

We focus a lot on culture specifically at Twitter because of this spotlight, and of the fact that we don’t want to end up like the child actor who found success early and grew up all weird and freaky Picture Quote #1

If you make the opportunity. you’ll be the first in the position to take advantage of it Picture Quote #1

A feeling I got from working at Google was that technology could solve any problem. Yes, it’s fantastic, but what I realized later was there’s technology, and there’s people. Google had its list ordered: Technology. People. And I think the right order is: People. Technology Picture Quote #1

I believe that the open exchange of information can have a positive global impact Picture Quote #1

If I had one piece of advice to tell an entrepreneur, I always say, ‘You have to have emotional investment in what you’re working on.’ That’s what we lacked at Odeo Picture Quote #1

You have to have an emotional investment in what you’re doing. If you don’t love what you’re doing, failure is pretty much guaranteed Picture Quote #1

In a job where you’re on a computer all day, and we cater lunch and we put snacks in the kitchen, well, we all started gaining weight, even though we try to pick healthy stuff, but inevitably you find the cashews Picture Quote #1

For me, I’ve learned about what it means to focus on a culture, to build social responsibility, and the idea of a company as a super-organism Picture Quote #1

I think when people twitter 20 or 30 times per day, that’s too much. They are boxing everyone else out, and people stop following them because they need a break Picture Quote #1
