Jack Dorsey: The 3 Keys to Twitter’s Success

Jack Dorsey outlines three core takeaways from his experiences building and launching Twitter–and more recently–Square, a simple payment utility. 1. Draw: get your idea out of your head and share it. 2. Luck: assess when the time (and the market) is right to execute your idea. 3. Iterate: take in the feedback, be a rigorous editor, and refine your idea.

Jack Dorsey, Creator & Co-Founder, Twitter

Jack Dorsey is the Creator, Co-founder, and Chairman of Twitter, Inc. Originally from St. Louis, Jack’s early fascination with mass-transit and how cities function led him to Manhattan and programming real-time messaging systems for couriers, taxis, and emergency vehicles.

Throughout this work, Dorsey witnessed thousands of workers in the field constantly updating where they were and what they were doing. Twitter is a constrained simplification designed for general usage and extended by the millions of people who make it their own every day.

Dorsey is dedicated to creating public goods that foster approachability, immediacy, and transparency, and is starting a second company, Square, focused on bringing these concepts to commerce.

He’s painful – to – listen- to… clearly has a story to tell but he needs to work on his delivery. Toastmasters!

I enjoyed the video. I’ve got a ton of respect for Jack and his process here.

I love that the idea for an early version of twitter lived inside him for so many years.

Thanks

I think it would be nice to have libraries tell how they use twitter, and thus share their best practices in stead of only mentioning that they use it.
