Tech: Fair and Square: Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey simplifies buying stuff

square1201

  • OK, this is pretty cool. Jack Dorsey, one of the guys behind Twitter, has another startup which promises to revolutionize the process of credit/debit transactions. It’s a tiny square. It requires an audio jack. That’s it. Like Twitter, it’s dead simple. Unlike Twitter, it’s not a super-esoteric concept at the outset, begging people to figure out why it’s necessary. It just makes sense. Kudos. Could someone give us a reason to use this? source

  • “Twitter Creator Jack Dorsey” • In an Onion article satirizing the service, where “Dorsey” says he’s surprised anyone – especially those in Iran – managed to find Twitter useful. Yeah, we’re surprised too, which is why we use it all the time. • source

Tech: Twitter creator Jack Dorsey and his fear of the Fadwhale

  • The buzz is definitely good right now, but it’s also potentially dangerous. It may put us into a fad.
  • Twitter creator Jack Dorsey • On the site’s biggest danger. He says the site works best when people don’t worry about the hype and just use it. We agree. He also talks about what extra services could be added to the site. That’d be awesome. • source
