Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal
of Nick Bilton (Goodreads Author)
Description
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 foundersâBiz Stone, Evan Williams, Jack Dorsey, and Noah Glassâwent from everyday engineers to wealthy celebrities, featured on magazine covers, Oprah, The Daily Show, and Timeâs list of the worldâs most influential people. Biltonâs exclusive access and exhaustive investigative reportingâdrawing on hundreds of sources, documents, and internal e-mailsâhave 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.
