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)

真是一部艱難的創業史,政治鬥爭在哪裏都是一樣殘酷…
評分值得一讀,雖然戲劇化得稍過瞭一點點。
評分毫無跟創業, 科技, 商業, 或産品有關的洞見.. 多是人物描寫公司內鬥.. 要不剛好趕著Twitter上市來齣版就是本沒意思的邊緣傳記..
評分值得一讀,雖然戲劇化得稍過瞭一點點。
評分Was it about ego, or was it about others? Jack Dorsey和Evan Williams互不相讓的這個議題,既是Twitter初創時的爭論焦點,也反映瞭今天各種SNS的定位和競爭,真不是三言兩語說得清的,簡直是web 2.0的終極問題,引人深思。又,作者是如何把紀實類作品寫齣fiction的味道的?比劇本還精彩。
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,
評分硅谷是个孵化梦想的地方。这片聚集了全风险投资总额三分之一的土地好似19世纪的阿拉斯加,吸引着年轻人追逐自己的光荣与梦想。所不同的,前辈们的手中是掘金的铁铲,而IT男们的工具,则是脑中的ideas.这些想法更像是一颗颗“蛋”,在孵化之前你尽可以幻想,在孵化时你要学会...
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...
評分本书详细讲述twitter的发展史。感觉基本上是一部创始人从朋友变敌人,勾心斗角的历史。Twitter本身的产品发展反而相对比较简单。 书中披露了许多email、谈话、会议的细节,作者说这些是数百个小时的采访,1000多份内部文件和数不清的互联网上的资料中挖掘出来的。 令人吃惊的...
