Twitter may only use 140 characters but it’s valued at more than $9bn, and Biz Stone, its co-creator, is already moving on
When I ask where he expects Twitter to be a year from now, Stone’s answer includes no mention of a Nasdaq listing. “From my perspective, a year from now or 10 years from now, Twitter should be considered a triumph of humanity not a triumph of technology,” he says. “It’s not about the algorithms or the datacentres or that sort of thing – it should be measured by what people are using it for and whether or not it’s considered a force for good in the world. That’s difficult to measure, but you should be able to answer that question yes or no.”
