The Brain Behind Twitter

I don't know anything about Twitter, just created an account a couple of days ago and haven't touched it since because it seems really annoying. Hopefully with Twitter as part of the focus for the upcoming week in WebTools for Teachers, I will learn more about it any learn to appreciate the Twitter for the revolution it has created. Maybe I will even become a convert by the end of the week, who knows...

I stumbled across this video on a different page. It's a TED speech given by the brain behind Twitter (who also happens to be the one of the people who started Blogger): Evan Williams. It is not the most exciting speech on the net right now, but it gives an interesting background of how Twitter came about and how it grew. If you get bored of it after a few minutes, watch the next video below that follows, it's pretty funny...



This video is titled "How Twitter Ruined My Life".
