One of the guys I hired was an engineer named Jack Dorsey,

and a year later, when we were trying to decide which way to go with Odeo,

ื•ืฉื ื” ืื—ืจ ื›ืš ื›ืฉื ื™ืกื™ื ื• ืœื”ื—ืœื™ื˜ ืขืœ ื”ื“ืจืš ืฉืœ ืื•ื“ืื•,
00:49
Jack presented an idea he'd been tinkering around with for a number of years

that was based around sending simple status updates to friends.

We were also playing with SMS at the time at Odeo,

00:59
so we kind of put two and two together,
15
59576
1846
ื›ื›ื” ืฉืขืฉื™ื ื• ืื—ื“ ื•ืขื•ื“ ืื—ื“,
01:01
and in early 2006 we launched Twitter as a side project at Odeo.

01:06
Now, it's hard to justify doing a side project

ื–ื” ืงืฉื” ืœื”ืฆื“ื™ืง ืคืจื•ื™ืงื˜ ืฆื“ื“ื™

at a startup, where focus is so critical,

ื‘ืกื˜ืืจื˜-ืืค, ื›ืืฉืจ ื”ืžื™ืงื•ื“ ื”ื•ื ืงืจื™ื˜ื™,
01:11
but I had actually launched Blogger as a side project

ืื‘ืœ ืœืžืขืŸ ื”ืืžืช, ื’ื ืืช "ื‘ืœื•ื’ืจ" ืคื™ืชื—ืชื™ ื›ืคืจื•ื™ืงื˜ ืฆื“ื“ื™
01:13
to my previous company,
20
73545
1323
ื‘ื—ื‘ืจื” ื”ืงื•ื“ืžืช ืฉืœื™,
01:14
thinking it was just a little thing we'd do on the side,
21
74868
2462
ื›ืฉื—ืฉื‘ืชื™ ืฉื–ื” ื™ื”ื™ื” ืจืง ืžืฉื”ื• ืงื˜ืŸ ืขืœ ื”ื“ืจืš,
01:17
and it ended up taking over not only the company,

ื•ืœื‘ืกื•ืฃ ื–ื” ื”ืฉืชืœื˜ ืœื ืจืง ืขืœ ื”ื—ื‘ืจื”,

ื›ืš ืฉืœืžื“ืชื™ ืœื”ืงืฉื™ื‘ ืœืชื—ื•ืฉื•ืช ื‘ื˜ืŸ

even though you can't necessarily justify them

ืื• ื™ื•ื“ืข ืœืืŸ ื–ื” ื”ื•ืœืš.
01:27
And that's kind of what's happened with Twitter, time after time.

28
91330
2000
ืœืžื™ ืžื›ื ืฉืื™ื ื• ืžื›ื™ืจ,
01:33
Twitter is based around a very simple, seemingly trivial concept.
29
93330

ื˜ื•ื•ื™ื˜ืจ ("ืฆื™ื•ืฅ") ืžื‘ื•ืกืก ืขืœ ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ืžืื•ื“ ืคืฉื•ื˜, ืฉื ืจืื” ื˜ืจื™ื•ื™ืืœื™ -
01:36
You say what you're doing in 140 characters or less,
30

ืืชื ืื•ืžืจื™ื ืžื” ืืชื ืขื•ืฉื™ื ื‘-140 ืชื•ื•ื™ื ืื• ืคื—ื•ืช,
01:40
and people who are interested in you get those updates.
31

ื•ืื ืฉื™ื ืืฉืจ ืžืชืขื ื™ื™ื ื™ื ื‘ื›ื ืžืงื‘ืœื™ื ืืช ื”ืขื“ื›ื•ื ื™ื ื”ืืœื”.
01:43
If they're really interested,
32
103330
1446
ืื ื”ื ืžืžืฉ ืžืชืขื ื™ื™ื ื™ื,
01:44
they get the update as a text message on their cell phone.

01:47
So, for instance, I may Twitter right now
34

ืื ืœืžืฉืœ, ืื ื™ "ืžื˜ื•ื•ื˜ืจ" ืขื›ืฉื™ื•
01:50
that I'm giving a talk at TED.

110330
2044
ืฉืื ื™ ื ื•ืชืŸ ื”ืจืฆืื” ื‘- TED.
01:52
And in my case, when I hit send,
36
112405
2709
ื‘ื›ืœ ืื•ืคืŸ, ื›ืฉืื ื™ ืœื•ื—ืฅ ืขืœ "ืฉืœื—"
01:55
up to 60,000 people will receive that message in a matter of seconds.

01:59
Now, the fundamental idea is that Twitter

3372
ืขื›ืฉื™ื•, ื˜ื•ื•ื™ื˜ืจ ื‘ืžื”ื•ืชื•

or mundane ones.
42
128714

ืื• ืฉื’ืจืชื™ื™ื.

It is by sharing these moments as they're happening

ืืœ ืืฃ ื”ืžืจื—ืง, ื•ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ืืžืช.
02:21
This is the primary use we saw of Twitter from the beginning,

144008
2359
ื•ื–ื” ืžื” ืฉื”ืœื”ื™ื‘ ืื•ืชื ื•.
02:26
What we didn't anticipate was the many, many other uses

that would evolve from this very simple system.
