Hatching Twitter

Ev told Jack he had to chill out with the deluge of media he was doing. Its bad for the company, Ev said. Its sending the wrong message. Biz sat between them, watching like a spectator at a tennis match. But I invented Twitter, Jack said. No, you didnt invent Twitter, Ev replied. I didnt invent Twitter either. Neither did Biz. People dont invent things on the Internet. They simply expand on an idea that already exists.
Despite all the coverage of Twitters rise, Nick Bilton of The New York Times is the first journalist to tell the full storya gripping drama of betrayed friendships and highstakes power struggles. The four foundersEvan Williams, Biz Stone, Jack Dorsey, and Noah Glassmade a dizzyingly fast transition from ordinary engineers to wealthy celebrities. They fought each other bitterly for money, influence, publicity, and control as Twitter grew larger and more powerful. Ultimately they all lost their grip on it.

Biltons unprecedented access and exhaustive reporting have enabled him to write an intimate portrait of four friends who accidentally changed the world, and what they all learned along the way.
