Biz Stone is co-founder of Twitter, Inc and also helped make Xanga, Blogger, Odeo, and Obvious. Biz sometimes writes books about what people are doing on the Internet. Twitter is a social network that you type "What are you doing" in 140 characters or less. This was a great episode and I hope you like it! Please comment and tell me what you think! Thank you Alvin Foo for all your help!

I just want to thank Biz for taking time of your schedule for the show!
Sorry about the sound quality, I had to use a computer microphone, instead of my mixer, and pro mic!
Hi Daniel, those were some great questions you had, thanks for stopping by!
that was a great podcast session and you certainly rock. well done and that was some great questions that you had asked for a little man your age. keep the good stuff coming. you will definitely be on my radar.
Still amazed that you are only in h.s. Heard about you first from Scoble. Downloading your interview now. Thanks Daniel (& Biz)
Daniel - love what you are doing. I enjoyed the interview and the interview you did with Scoble.
I have to say though, lose the pop-ups. They suck. I had three the first time I came to your site. Firefox blocked two, but the third opened full-screen in a window behind. Few things annoy me more than that.
Otherwise, keep up the good work!
I'm going to check out odeo and obvious...
I'm liking Twitter and Xanga, I'm using Blogger as well...
Keep on going !
What do you find of ning.com [ http://www.ning.com ], BTW ?
Hey Daniel - great interview, it was great to hear from Biz.... kind of weird that you recorded it on a PC :-)

Twitter is a great idea, but it has many problems. There are too many businesses flooding it and there is too much restriction to following as many people as I would like. I am not a spammer like all of the businesses on there. I guess they pay for the privilege to spam all they want. I want to find people around the world that have the same viewpoints that I do and it is very hard. You cannot find out what you need to know about a person from their short and retarded bio. If I start following someone to check them out and they don't like my viewpoints, they will block me and that is fine. They should have that right, but the number of blocks should not add up and count against me and cause me to get suspended. They will send a nasty and rude response to me and instantly block me and I have no way to say a comment back to them. They get to be rude to me, but I can't respond. They say that everyone should be able to follow about 2000 people, but when I just cross 1000, I end up suspended. What difference does it make how many people are following me. Just because they don't choose to follow me doesn't mean they disapprove of me following them. They don't care about the people. If they did they would do something about all the business spam flooding it. Why are businesses even on a "social" networking site in the first place. The only "real" purpose for twitter is for the businesses and the only "real" reason for the limits is because they are sloths at keeping up with the upgrades needed to keep it running smoothly. I believe they say they have grown 900 percent in a year and I know for a fact that the upgrades have not. It's too slow. It would be better for them to stop all of the businesses and charge everyone a monthly fee for what supposed to be "social" networking site.
