The dramatic, unlikely story behind the founding of Twitter, by New York Times bestselling author and Vanity Fair special correspondent

The San Francisco-based technology company Twitter has become a powerful force in less than ten years. Today it’s everything from a tool for fighting political oppression in the Middle East to a marketing must-have to the world’s living room during live TV events to President Trump’s preferred method of communication. It has hundreds of millions of active users all over the world.

But few people know that it nearly fell to pieces early on.

In this rousing history that reads like a novel, Hatching Twitter takes readers behind the scenes of Twitter’s early exponential growth, following the four hackers—Ev Williams, Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone, and Noah Glass, who created the cultural juggernaut practically by accident. It’s a drama of betrayed friendships and high-stakes power struggles over money, influence, and control over a company that was growing faster than they could ever imagine.

Drawing on hundreds of sources, documents, and internal e-mails, Bilton offers a rarely-seen glimpse of the inner workings of technology startups, venture capital, and Silicon Valley culture.

Amazon.com Review

An Amazon Best Book of the Month, November 2013: Spoiler alert: The subtitle sorta says it all. That is, Nick Bilton's Hatching Twitter delivers "A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal," though not necessarily in that order. The book's four central players--Ev, Jack, Biz, and Noah--conceived of Twitter while working on Odeo, an ultimately doomed attempt to revolutionize podcasting. As their little chick grew, the four men's personal and ideological differences led to a power struggle that eventually left them all on the sidelines as a former stand-up comedian took Twitter into the uncertain future. Writing with the pacing and veracity of detail of a true-crime book, Bilton makes use of a trove of source material--from internal Twitter e-mails to extensive interviews with and early tweets by the founders themselves--and the result is as exciting and fast-paced as it is topically relevant. If you're looking for a thoughtful rumination about Twitter as a revolutionary global communications platform, keep looking. If you're looking for a quick, well-written, thoroughly researched human drama, the story of an utterly dysfunctional foursome and the accelerated unraveling of their once brilliant partnership, this is your book. #HighlyRecommended. --Jason Kirk (@brasswax)

##毫无跟创业, 科技, 商业, 或产品有关的洞见.. 多是人物描写公司内斗.. 要不刚好赶着Twitter上市来出版就是本没意思的边缘传记.. "但是在当他感到真正孤独的这些时刻——当大海、汽笛、岩石不再向他发出召唤时,他走进房间,关上身后的玻璃门,将手伸进裤袋,拿出他的智能手机。他的手指在手机玻璃屏幕上滑了几下,然后将手指放在蓝色小鸟的图标那儿。是的,他只能在Twitter上与人交流。" 这一幕是否让你感...

##作者实在过于热爱形容词和副词以及场景描述了,所以怎么都觉得没有真实感,尽管我相信作为纽时的作者应该在真实性上没什么问题。而且文章最后的结尾处理地挺粗糙,感觉硬生生地把书拔到了人性的高度。当然,这也是因为此前过于注重细节的缘故。但总体来说确实是一部信息量很大的书,真心膜拜比尔顿能挖到这么多信息。
