Lots of big news at Twitter Headquarters last week. We've recently
announced the closing of our financing with Union Square Ventures,
Charles River Ventures, and some angel investors including Marc
Andreessen, Dick Costolo, Ron Conway, and Naval Ravikant. We're
honored to have investors that we look up to and are inspired by.
We're looking forward to adding even more momentum, hiring more
engineers, and building a sustainable company. Come on by and
visit us: http://twitter.com
Friends, Followers and Notifications
Folks have noted that there's too much overlap and confusion
between "friend" and "follow." As Twitter has evolved, these two
concepts have emerged in parallel and clouded things up. So, in
the spirit of simplification, we are no longer going to define
people as your "friends." The functionality of adding people
remains, but the interaction is focused on the term "follow"
instead. We've also added a "notifications" toggle which allows
you to turn on updates via SMS or IM on a person-by-person basis.
The Wall Street Journal recently took note of Hollywood's
experimentation with Twitter. They cited some of our work with
MTV, FOX, and CBS. Next week, the actor who plays Cappie on ABC
Family's new series, "Greek," is going to be Twittering and
encouraging viewers to do the same during Monday night's episode.
There's also some folks who've been twittering from comic-con, the
big comic book convention in San Diego, California. Check out
Agent M from the folks behind the scenes at Marvel Entertainment
and actor/writer Wil Wheaton on Twitter for a little peek into the
comic book industry's biggest shindig.
Twitter co-founder and chairman Evan Williams was married over
the weekend to the lovely Sara Morishige. My toast at the rehearsal
dinner was mercifully short, in true Twitter fashion. The event
was well Twittered, as you might imagine. It's not as easy as you
think to text and dance simultaneously. Congrats to Ev and Sara!
