The greatest lesson that I learned in all of this is that you have to start. Start now, start here, and start small. Keep it Simple.

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.

My goal is to simplify complexity. I just want to build stuff that really simplifies our base human interaction.

The idea of Twitter started with me working in dispatch since I was 15 years old, where taxi cabs or firetrucks would broadcast where they were and what they were doing.

Revolution looks at the intersection ahead and pushes people to do the right thing.

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.

You don't have to start from scratch to have a massive impact on the world.
