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)

寫法好評!這個故事告訴我們不要和朋友一起做生意。
評分1. 99%的創始團隊都有人的問題,創業成敗往往就取決於是否招到瞭對的人;2. 靠流量起傢快速增長的公司,要麼盡快去壟斷市場,要麼就會被取代,在social這個行業裏尤甚;3. Ev Williams是全書裏自己認同感最強的一個角色,但看不齣真正做錯瞭什麼就被董事會趕走瞭,需要再去延展的讀一讀。
評分作者實在過於熱愛形容詞和副詞以及場景描述瞭,所以怎麼都覺得沒有真實感,盡管我相信作為紐時的作者應該在真實性上沒什麼問題。而且文章最後的結尾處理地挺粗糙,感覺硬生生地把書拔到瞭人性的高度。當然,這也是因為此前過於注重細節的緣故。但總體來說確實是一部信息量很大的書,真心膜拜比爾頓能挖到這麼多信息。
評分Great great story.
評分全書基本上可以分為三個點: Noah's loneliness , Jack Ego, and Ev's kindness 。 寫的真好
因为工作的原因和twitter IPO的消息,最近对twitter的关注多了起来。之前在36氪上看了@林西抹抹茶 翻译的《Twitter:从蛮荒走向 IPO》http://www.36kr.com/p/207473.html,开始对它的三位创始人有了些了解,也更加激发起我继续探求这家公司从摇摆中站立起来过程中的细节。随后...
評分首先声明,这并不是一本谈论商业模式和创业理论的无聊分析师总结,而是一本非常写实的类小说作品。由于作者一般写作手法和细节描写的擅长,我简直把它当成了剧本在读。 本书详细描写了 Twitter 几个创始人的背景和 twitter 的形成,一直到了上市前夕的发展。但最主要关注的点...
評分这是一本讲述Twitter发展历程的小说,但其着眼点不仅在于产品的推成出新,也不只是关注公司的增值与扩容,更多的是讲述这一群创始人在这段创业之旅的酸甜苦辣。 埃文•威廉姆斯,无论从出钱还是出力,无论从创意还是坚持,他都当之无愧的是Twitter最重要的创始人和奠基者。他...
評分这是纽约时报一个著名作者Nick Bilton写的书。书没有获得Twitter官方授权,但是Twitter几个创始人都接受了他的采访。 我推荐创业公司的同学们都读一读这本书。 因为这是离我们最近的、从有idea开始到近期上市的一家公司。它的产品、管理、创业故事等都很现代化,不像马化腾李...
評分2013年末的时候,偶然间在微博上收到“简书”的私信,大意是之前某篇文章入选什么专题了,所以要送我一本书,随便挑。如果不是因为发消息的账号正是我关注的,我真会陡然生疑(不过话说回来,有骗子以送书为由获取个人信息的么?太有复古感了)。然后我就愉快地到豆瓣打开个人...
