创始人：杰克•多尔西，埃文•威廉姆斯，比兹•斯通和诺亚•格拉斯

    Twitter向来信奉“少即是多”的道理。但可能连多尔西、威廉姆斯、斯通和格拉斯这几位创始人也被这家初创公司的巨大成功搞得措手不及。这项最多包含140个字符的信息实时更新服务一经推出就大受欢迎，而且在一些危机时刻（比如2011年的埃及抗议活动）充当了重要的交流工具。多尔西目前担任公司董事长，他现在还是 移动支付技术公司Square的CEO；威廉姆斯担任董事，他还创办了一家名为Medium的新公司。斯通刚刚写了一本名字很迷人的新书《那只小鸟教会我的事情》(Things a Little Bird Taught Me)。

    Founders:Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Biz Stone, and Noah Glass

    In Twitter's (TWTR) case, less is definitely more. But even Dorsey, Williams, Stone, and Glass were probably caught off-guard by the success of their startup, which popularized 140-character messages updated in real time and served as an important communication tool in moments of crisis, like the Egyptian protests in 2011. Dorsey, who also serves as CEO of Square, is chairman, and Williams, who has a new startup called Medium, is on the board of directors. Stone has a new book out, titled, charmingly, Things a Little Bird Taught Me.
