Hatching Twitter by Nick Bilton
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.
