Winter vacation at home read the first book-"Hatching Twitter: a wild journey from the savage to the IPO." In the first half of 2014, try to read the original English version of the book, but their own English too dishes, really do not understand. This time with the Chinese version, I decided to see.
The book is not obscure to me, but rather a bit hearty. Usually for these Internet content is also more concerned about, so, the book names and some nouns are relatively familiar.
"Hatching Twitter" is a timeline narrative that tells about the causes and consequences of the birth of Twitter and the love-hate entanglements that have sparked it. First of all, the structure of the book, the book is a cinematic structure, the beginning is 2010 years, Twitter CEO to alter the story. Evan Williams, Twitter's second-term CEO, will be "voluntarily" to step down. Then the timeline returned to the 1990, Evan, NOAA, Jack, Peezee four young people, because of all kinds of chance coincidence, came together. Odeo, the NOAA-led company, is a member of the company, and he is a follower of Evan. Then the Odeo company sank, and Odeo's idea of "state" gradually switched to "Twitter", Odeo the company, and the Twitter company rose. Twitter has been a success, but the company has been in disarray and the CEO has changed 3 in 4 years, and the timeline has caught up with the book's 2010-year change to CEO. Twitter has changed ceo,twitter and continues to go on. But after all these love and hatred, in 2012 the four young men-Evan, NOAA, Jack, Peezee-lived a very different life, betrayed and betrayed, and four of young men were strangers. Can not go back to the original struggle of the day, let people greatly sigh. I think it's a very good film structure and it's perfect for making movies. Before the Facebook Mark Zuckerberg was made into a movie, I think the book should also be cinematic, but I have not heard the news and can only look forward to it.
I've also added more awareness to Twitter. I used to know that Weibo was a Twitter-only one, but I don't know why Twitter was born (although this is a novel, it can be learned from one or two). Twitter was NOAA with Jack and several of its staff as the Odeo company was declining. Jack's "state," and then Enoch had the rudiments of Twitter. Jack is positioning Twitter as "What I'm doing", informing friends, getting attention, and using it to get lonely. Evan later positioned Twitter as "What's going on", Twitter's news properties, social attributes, and a message portal for all walks of life. The use of the "@" and "#" tag characters is also gradually explored. I don't know about Twitter, I'm just starting to use it. But Twitter's celestial version-Weibo, I've spent more than 4 years. Now the microblog is full of satin hands, and some star states are heavily forwarded, and occasionally to an explosion of news, such as the recent Chenhe divorce, to drive the activity of the entire microblog. Attention to some friends, their status has gradually turned to the circle of Friends, micro-blog profit problem has been plagued by Sina, heard that Twitter has not been very good recently. Where will the 140 words go from here?
I've known more about Jack Dorsey. I think he's so pathetic (he's a billionaire, pity himself). He was destined to be a lonely man. Before, can read about his story, he and the media have gradually molded him Chengiobs 2.0, become the darling of the technology circle. Perhaps his own sense of loneliness, so he is so concerned about the neglect of others, want to become the focus of the world.
Finally, the final story of the book: An astronaut working alone on a space station replies to a question on Twitter, the answer to my reading Note:
In the heart of every big city in the world, there is noise, packed with millions of of people, who are lonely people. Loneliness does not depend on where you are, but on your state of mind.
