The normal press cycle is to put a company on a pedestal and then knock it down. It's much more interesting that way.

I think of Twitter as a messaging system that you didn't know you needed until you had it. Think about when cell phones first started coming out. People said, "Why would I carry my phone around?" And now you'll drive back to your house thirty miles if you forget your cell phone.

Embrace your constraints.

I'd dropped out of college to start design thing.

Understand that you dont have all the answers, you just have to start somewhere and keep an open mind.

Embrace your constraints. They are provocative. They are challenging. They wake you up. They make you more creative. They make you better.

I think before Twitter people didn't think that way, not in any sort of meaningful or specific way, so what I'm trying to say, if we're trying a bunch of stuff, a lot of cool and great social stuff, a lot of platform stuff, then some of it will stick, and some of it will be junked over. Some of it will be just like the cell phone, you can't imagine not having it.
