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)

评分Great read
评分真是一部艰难的创业史,政治斗争在哪里都是一样残酷…
评分1. 99%的创始团队都有人的问题,创业成败往往就取决于是否招到了对的人;2. 靠流量起家快速增长的公司,要么尽快去垄断市场,要么就会被取代,在social这个行业里尤甚;3. Ev Williams是全书里自己认同感最强的一个角色,但看不出真正做错了什么就被董事会赶走了,需要再去延展的读一读。
评分噱头很够,另外跌宕起伏+画面感明显就是奔着被改编去的,但越读越感觉加了很多不必要和刻意的戏剧感,另外感觉很多地方挖掘的都不深入,比《迪斯尼战争》低了不止一个档次
整本书的情节之紧凑让人欲罢不能,这对于一本non-fiction来说实在不容易。不过最让我感慨的不是Twitter壮大过程中的爱恨情仇,而是两位创始人Ev和Jack对于Twitter存在价值的不同看法。Jack信奉推友的表达应当以自我为中心,在这个产品问世的初期,“此时你在做什么”是推友创作...
评分因为书名中带有“蛮荒”这两个字而买的。 这本书完全是当小说看的,写得还不错,一天就可以看完。 对于TWITTER能在硅谷巨头的环伺下倔然成长表示佩服,也算是略窥得硅谷文化的一二。权力、金钱、友情都是必然思考的问题,
评分作为一个曾经的twitter重度使用者(现在是潜水者),这本书是一定要看的。这本书写的很精彩,里面提到了了很多不为人知的秘密,下面将我关注的一些记下来: 1、埃文是blogger的创始人,他通过把blogger卖给谷歌,赚到了自己的第一桶金。 2、twitter重要的,不为人所知的创始人...
评分因为工作的原因和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...
评分首先声明,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...
