Hatching Twitter, by Nick Bilton, is essentially the Social Network-book equivalent for Twitter. It's the story of how Twitter was founded by a group of plucky, nerdy friends and how the egos and politicking of that group ruined their friendships over the years as the company was built and became a success.

As a former Twitter addict, I was really into the aspects of the book that shed light on how the company was created. I would have liked even more of the details on the actual inner-workings of Twitter, more of the day-to-day of how the company was built and less of the boardroom drama that serves as the bulk of the narrative.

Still a good read, and one that manages to make me nostalgic for the early days of Twitter—even after learning about how chaotic the company was at the time.

Overall: 55

I use the 20-80 scale to rate things.

What a bunch of losers. Great read from Helen Lewis:

Yet masculinism also functions as a perpetual-motion machine of grievance, an inarticulate howl of anguish at the status quo—whatever that currently is. Masculinism is both serious and silly, sometimes camp and sometimes chilling, an attention-grabbing performance and a genuine proposition. No wonder it has become the cornerstone of Trumpism.
