Just setting up my twttr”. When Jack Dorsey tapped out that maiden 34-character tweet back in March 2006, Twitter was the side-project of a failing San Francisco start-up. Seven years and hundreds of billions of tweets later, TWTR will be the stock market ticker of a public company worth more than $12bn, chaired by Mr Dorsey in the hottest initial public offering since Facebook. “刚设置好我的twttr”。当杰克?多尔西(Jack Dorsey)在2006年3月发出首条由34个字符组成的tweet帖子时，Twitter只是一家旧金山濒临倒闭的初创企业的次要项目。7年后的今天，全球各地人士已经发了数千亿条tweet，由多尔西担任董事长的Twitter将发起自Facebook上市以来最火爆的首次公开发行(IPO)，公司的估值将超过120亿美元，而其股票代码将是TWTR。 Mr Dorsey’s own journey between then and now mirrors that of the messaging site itself. Just as Twitter was the ugly duckling that became a swan, so Mr Dorsey has exchanged his punk 2006 look – complete with nose ring and mathematical forearm tattoo – for expensive suits and supermodel friends like Lily Cole commensurate with his status as one of Silicon Valley’s slickest stars.

Its 140-character cacophony puts the mundane on equal footing with the profound – letting anyone send messages to Rihanna, the Iranian president or their mum. It mingles live news with arguments about reality TV shows. 上周公布的Twitter IPO细节，印证了多尔西的愿景：免费、开放和混乱的通信工具，把握地球的脉搏。其140个字符的即兴言论格式，让成见和高见分享同一个平台，让任何人都能发送信息给歌手蕾哈娜(Rihanna)、伊朗总统或自己的母亲。它让实况新闻与有关电视真人秀的争论交汇融合。 For its earlier investors, the IPO also proves that advertising can be a lucrative part of that mix, making hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenues by charging marketers to “promote” their tweets.
