I was a bit disappointed with Jack Dorsey’s portrayal of being schemer and villain. May be a bit look into his side of the story on why he behaved that way, would have been nice. Like Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos (in Bad Blood), Jack also has the imitation and influence of Steve Jobs in many of his manners and practices. But the sweet irony of the story is: Jack runs Twitter now full-time. I would love know what happened after Dick Costolo took over and how Jack came back to rein in Twitter. Nevertheless, its a fantastic and racy read. This is my second book of Nick after the excellent American Kingpin and the fifth book to know more about Silicon Valley and its history. (  ) Santhosh_Guru | Oct 19, 2023 |  ) harishwriter | Oct 12, 2023 | Natt90 | Feb 14, 2023 | Instead of focusing on Twitter as a product, the author focuses on people behind it, their backgrounds and relationships with each other. Of course when there are so much money and power involved friendships get broken and intrigues start. It is interesting to read how people change exposed to such things and what happens behind the scenes. However, the story should be taken with the salt of grain as it looks like the author is a bit biased in favor of Ev and against Jack. Moral of the book - people are feeling lonely. Twitter's initial idea was supposed to be the antidote for that. People are still lonely but at least they know "What's happening" faster.

"Twitter seems like a perfect start-up success story. In barely six years, a small group of young, ambitious programmers in Silicon Valley built an $11.5 billion business out of the ashes of a failed podcasting company. Today Twitter boasts more than 200 million active users and has affected business, politics, media, and other fields in innumerable ways. Now Nick Bilton of the New York Times takes readers behind the scenes with a narrative that shows what happened inside Twitter as it grew at exponential speeds. This is a tale of betrayed friendships and high-stakes power struggles as the four founders-Biz Stone, Evan Williams, Jack Dorsey, and Noah Glass-went from everyday engineers to wealthy celebrities, featured on magazine covers, Oprah, The Daily Show, and Time's list of the world's most influential people. Bilton's exclusive access and exhaustive investigative reporting-drawing on hundreds of sources, documents, and internal e-mails-have enabled him to write an intimate portrait of fame, influence, and power. He also captures the zeitgeist and global influence of Twitter, which has been used to help overthrow governments in the Middle East and disrupt the very fabric of the way people communicate"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This book was first published in 2013 and so much has changed since then. Twitter (now X, in what has to be the silliest of rebrandings) has become perhaps less relevant than it ever was. Musk has seen the price fall through the floor and see value evaporate.
Fun book if you like business origin stories, but he really needs to do a follow-up, perhaps annually. (
