<blockquote cite="http://blog.twitter.com/2010/05/twitter-platform.html"><p>Twitter is an open, real-time introduction and information service. On a daily basis we introduce millions to interesting people, trends, content, URLs, organizations, lists, companies, products and services. These introductions result in the formation of a dynamic real-time interest graph. At any given moment, the vast network of connections on Twitter paints a picture of a universe of interests. We follow those people, organizations, services, and other users that interest us, and in turn, others follow us.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">&mdash; <a href="http://blog.twitter.com/2010/05/twitter-platform.html">Dick Costolo</a></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/dick-costolo">dick-costolo</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/twitter">twitter</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/recovered">recovered</a></p>
