Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed: Ev Williams and Biz Stone
by Scott Edward Walker on September 12th, 2012
To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.” Each week, we share a favorite video of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics. This week, we present Ev Williams and Biz Stone, co-founders of Twitter (and now Obvious) and brilliant entrepreneurs.
I’m using Twitter as a form of micro-blogging to share interesting blog posts, articles and podcasts relating to entrepreneurship and startups, M&A and legal issues. Below are my five most popular tweets (via bit.ly) for the past two weeks and a few blog-related tweets. If you’d like to see all of my tweets (or an RSS feed of them), you can do so here. Cheers, Scott

In this interesting, four-minute clip from 2008, Ev discusses the history of Twitter and shares some solid nuggets for entrepreneurs, including the importance of (i) iterating, (ii) building something that’s fun and (iii) simplicity. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks, Scott
