Affiliate Link – Things a Little Bird Told Me

While not as striking or exciting as some of the other books I’ve read while traveling this year, Things a Little Bird Told Me: Confessions of the Creative Mind* — the story of Twitter by Biz Stone, a co-founder of the company — kept me happily entertained on the flights yesterday. Inside the book Stone discusses the 2007 SXSW and how it changed Twitter, how his role at Twitter was to “always be positive,” and he even mentions Star Trek as a source of inspiration more times than I would have ever expected. Fun read!

From GQ’s “Nerd of the Year” to one of Time’s most influential people in the world, Biz Stone represents different things to different people. But he is known to all as the creative, effervescent, funny, charmingly positive and remarkably savvy co-founder of Twitter-the social media platform that singlehandedly changed the way the world works. Now, Biz tells fascinating, pivotal, and personal stories from his early life and his careers at Google and Twitter, sharing his knowledge about the nature and importance of ingenuity today.
