Jack Dorsey

Hey @jack. Investors have long been obsessed with monthly active users (MAU) as the key to Twitter's value. Which metrics do you use to track the health and growth of Twitter's network and Twitter's business and what are you seeing in those metrics that makes you optimistic about the future for users, partners, and investors?

@jack At Square you built an internal dashboard. The tricky part is choosing the right data to track. What thought process do you use to determine what to track? What are top 3 data points at Square?

Jack, how do you relax and de-stress outside of the office?

Hi @jack! You’re a busy man. How do you effectively balance your time between running both Twitter & Square?

Hi @jack, 👋 - Seriously how do you manage working for both the companies, which are so different from each other, how do you maintain your focus, and retain creativity? - What is the most important quality you look, when you hire? - An advice you'd give to your 20yr self / Entrepreneurs? - 5 apps you use on the daily basis. - 5 books that inspire you most. Thanks! 😊

@jack Hey Jack! Friend of mine and I just launched a little Twitter experiment last night called flock (www.flockaflame.com). It lets you find, follow and create playlists of awesome people on Twitter. You can follow the Warriors starters in one tap for example. Within an hour our write access was restricted and our app suspended from the Twitter API My question for you is this: how serious is Twitter about letting developers innovate on areas like people discovery that Twitter has struggled to handle well in the past? Not the first wall I’ve run into building an app for Twitter in the past 12 mos. Love, @basche42

@jack hey Jack, heard you are a big hip hop fan. What're your top 5 albums of all time?

@jack helloooooo, jack! My question is, what would you rather fight? 100 duck-sized horses, or one horse-sized duck?

@jack hey! So glad you could make it. Tell us about your emoji usage? What is your favorite? How do you think emoji have shaped twitter's usage?

What is Twitter's identity going into the next 5 years?

Hi @jack. Do you plan for twitter to become developer friendly again? Twitter's initial growth was mostly attributed to 3rd party developers innovating around its API. It seems like Twitter needs another boost of innovation and growth, do you think opening up the API can have the same affect it had initially?

What will it look like when your vision for Twitter as a news source is fully realized?

@jack At a recent Barclay's conference Anthony compared Twitter to a 2000 amazon.com, which he called a broken product that was unable to deliver on its value proposition and unready for mass appeal. Do you agree with Noto's observation and are we nearing the inflection point when Twitter's real value will be easily attainable by the masses?

Shouldn't we be doing this on @Periscope? :)

@jack, what kind of advice would you give a scared 24 year old whose future seems like a big question mark? Asking for a friend.

Hey @jack! If there could be one thing you would instantly change (product wise) about Twitter today, what would it be and why?

@jack What strengths do you look for in the people you hire? What are some deal breakers (perhaps ones that are not obvious)?

@jack Twitter has begun to advertise and market. Is the company still in the market for a CMO?

In my opinion, Twitter gets more organic referral marketing than any other company. It’s hard to turn on the TV without seeing an @name or someone asking for interactions on Twitter. Seeing the same for Facebook is exceptionally rare. Why don’t you think this visibility has translated into more substantial active user growth for Twitter?

What insight about life have you acquired, that seems obvious to you but might not be obvious to everyone else?

Sup @jack! How do you see hyperlocal contributing to social in 2016 and beyond?

In a parallel universe, where you are NOT the CEO of Square or Twitter, what would you be doing instead?

Hi @Jack! I've been really impressed with a neighborhood organization using Twitter polls to run a bracket for local restaurants, letting ppl vote on their favorites (we're now in the championships). It's been great exposure for restaurants in my neighborhood. What's the best use of Twitter polls you're aware of? Where do you see them in a few years?

Hi Jack, how do you meditate? (How often and what techniques do you use?)

Hey Jack! A commonly asked question, but always very (very) interesting: What are the books that had a major influence on you? Or simply the ones you like the most.

Hey Jack! Who are 3 of your top mentors? Any techniques you use for dealing with stress?

Hi @jack , I'm from Venezuela and twitter have become a critical tool to spread information since the government maintains a pseudo-dictatorship and controls all the media. One of the few channels that the opposition have left is twitter. It's used for organizing protests, hearing our leader and much more. Do you feel any responsibility for this ? You unleashed power that can bring down governments! Another extremely valuable use that we give to twitter is to find and distribute medicines. Due to the poor politics of the government it has become harder and harder to find medicines for cancer, epilepsy and more. The people that needs them tweet their needs and the other users try to help by checking their own cabinets, pharmaceutics in other states and asking family members. Twitter has literally saved lives. Did you imagine the impact twitter would have from the beginning ? Thanks!

Hi @jack! 🙂 Thanks for your time to do this. And here is my question : What's your biggest doubt / question / thought that prevented you from starting a startup, back then? And how did you overcome that?

@jack any plans or thoughts on incorporating more friend like features into twitter (building on interest graph to social graph)?

Complete this sentence: "The 🔑 is to..." #blessup 🙏🏼

"Twitter Plans to Go Beyond Its 140-Character Limit." Is it just a rumor? What are the big changes to expect from Twitter in near future?

Hey @jack, huge fan of your work in here. My question is simple: why did you decide to grow a beard?

Hey Jack! I'm thankful for your outspoken opinions on human equality as @jack. :) What role do you think Twitter should play in the unfair or unjust treatment of humans across the globe? (bonus question) Whats keeping Twitter from doing this as well as you want it to? 🙏

What is the most important advice you will give to a Computer Science student?

@jack thanks so much for joining us. Awesome to have you hear, would love to hear how you plan to expand the twitter audience beyond the current without alienating your existing user base? The liking instead of favouriting is one strategy I assume, would love to hear the other plans in the pipeline? As a hero of mine, it would be awesome to have you on @twentyminutevc and hear more from you! We have Jeff Seibert coming on the show, so we could do a full Twitter feature week with both of you!!

Hi Jack, Several years ago you shared your daily schedule to manage two companies simultaneously like Monday is for management meetings, Tuesday is for product development etc.. I'd like to know if you still stick to this strategy now or you've developed some other hacks to keep you organized and productive.

Hey @jack, why this kind of beard :D? And I love the List feature but not enough advertised.. (That's not even a question 🤔)

Who are your most helpful investors and what makes them stand out in your mind?

@jack Jack, when you look at the payments ecosystem and the direction it's heading away from the traditional card market and into a more NFC based style....what do you see Square looking like in 5 years? and since you double up as a great CEO at two companies, I want to double up on a second question :). How do you view the importance of Twitter's API and third party developers as parts of Twitter's long term growth? As it stands right now, it seems any program or apps outside of twitter that look to help improve the user experience get shut down rather quickly. Will that change in the future? Lastly, Good Kid" M.A.A.D City or To Pimp A Butterfly? Thank you and happy holidays! -Brad

Hi @jack welcome to PH. You were marching tweeting, vining in Ferguson in solidarity --then you followed that up by setting up "Start Small Foundation". Could you please tell us what the vision is all about?

@jack What have been the worst distractions for you as an entrepreneur?

Hey @jack , what excites you most in terms of product innovations at TWTR

@jack Do you feel like when you have a beard your ability to make sounds decisions increases exponentially?

Hey @jack! Thank you for doing this! I am 15 years old and love technology and entrepreneurship. I have three questions. 1. What are your thoughts on college and the education system as a whole, and the role technology needs to play in the education system? 2. What would your advice be to young entrepreneurs? 3. What was the single most important thing that happened or that you did that made you so successful in starting your own businesses?

@jack I'm a huge fan of your work. I love watching your talks. My favorite is Stanford University one, where you quoted "Expect the unexpected and be the unexpected where ever possible". My question is what advice would you give to coders who want to be entrepreneurs and build products on their own.

Hey @jack! Is the dress blue or gold?

Hi @jack - thanks for stopping by! Assuming that between Twitter/Square/beard grooming you have a lot on your plate. What's one thing the Product Hunt community can help you out with?

Hi @jack, what lessons learned from Twitter did you apply to grow Square so quickly?

Hi @jack! Who's someone we should all be following on Twitter but probably aren't?

@jack thanks so much for being here today! You've achieved so much already - can you tell us a moment in your life and career that has most surprised you? Bonus question, a moment in your life that has helped define the way you approach making decisions in difficult situations?

Hey @jack, the tech field seems very saturated now. There are startups popping up everyday. With all this, it seems quiet confusing to envision a idea and actually work on it. There is also the notion that the software world is just too full of it and innovation needs to flow elsewhere. What advice would you give to a person(20 y/o) who is starting at this?, how do you find valuable ideas? Would be awesome if you replied. Thanks.

Hey Jack, thanks for doing this today! As an aspiring entrepreneur, I find you incredibly inspiring, and I’ve watched way more of your interviews than I'd like to admit. 1. Since you've been back as CEO, Twitter's been shipping a lot of new features, you've restructured the company, and you're working to rebuild the board. Twitter's moving in a great direction, but Wall Street isn't buying in yet. The share price hit all time low yesterday, how frustrating is this for you? 2. When was the last time you got some sleep?

Hi @Jack. I use twitter primarily to keep up to date and connect with musicians and bands. Musicians, ranging from local bands to global superstars use twitter to connect with fans, promotion, marketing and community building. What do you see for the future of twitter and Music?

@jack Hey Jack ! What drives you in life ? What is your motor ?

@jack Cup of coffee or cup of tea?

@jack Would you be open to sell Twitter to Google or Facebook for the right price? How about hostile takeover?

@jack What would you say to young Jack Dorsey?

@jack do you think 'facebook live' will be a threat to Periscope?

Hi @jack. How does your iPhone homescreen look like? Top 5-10 apps you use on regular basis?

@jack Hey Jack! Long time Twitter fanboy and college junior studying finance. I want to help Twitter grow and return to massive user growth. Twitter doesn't have any internships for non-engineering roles. How can I help?

What is your advice for young entrepreneurs to be successful in the tech world?

Are you scared/cautious of AI?

If your personality could be a dance, what kind would it be? Nene, twerk, stanky leg, funky chicken, the jerk, disco, hustle, snapping fingers sitting on sideline, or slow motion side to side foot moving?

@Jack how would you feel about Twitter being promoted as a search, don't want to say engine, but possibility, tool? After really learning advance search & keys to refine it's great.

How does Square's diversity strategy differ from Twitter's?

Hi @jack How will you spend your time if you've got one hour to solve a user problem/need? Thanks!

How do you view location-first social networks like Nextdoor and YikYak? Are they a threat to Twitter, is Twitter a threat to them, or are they playing a different game altogether?

Hi @jack I'm from Uganda, Eastafrica and the question is get from most of my friends is how do you really use twitter. What ideas do you have in plan to get more of these friends to use Twitter easily without me having to glance in the air for an answer to their question?

Hi Jack, how's it going mate? My question is this: What steps did you take to become more decisive and become a person who consistently executes? I'm 22 and have built some nice habits, yet I feel like I can slip and "fall off" sometimes. Cheers mate :)

What idea would you be working on today, assuming you are done with Twitter and Square? Do you still hack like you used to be?

Hi @jack! You have to be extremely efficient with your time to balance running 2 huge companies. What are 3 hacks (can be life, productivity, sleep, food) that you think have made the biggest impact on your life?

Hi Jack! Thank you for the AMA! I have two questions for you: 1. It's really unusual that you changed so many professions: you tried to be a clothing designer, an illustrator and a developer. Have you found your ultimate passion or maybe you will switch to something else? How these changes in your career influenced you? 2. The holiday season is coming, and lots of critics and entrepreneurs share the best reads of the year. What are the best books you read in 2015?

Hi Jack, what is one thing that you believe to be true of the future that others doubt or question?

Hi @jack. Who are the up and coming early-stage start-ups that you admire most and that in your opinion will be the Twitter or Square of the future?

@jack It's great to have you out here! Recently Twitter tweaked the 'favourite' button to 'like' button. I wanted to know what user behaviours triggered this change or any other reason that led to this?

Hey @Jack - What important truth do very few people agree with you on? Yes.. I totally jacked this from Peter Thiel.

Hi @Jack . I'm a huge fan of Twitter and am a current share holder. Has the team ever considered moving to a pay subscription for certain accounts? Most of the people that I talk to about this all agree that they would gladly pay a monthly subscription. Why wouldn't Twitter have a pay model and turn those accounts into premium accounts with some added features? Thanks.

Hello, @jack! When is Twitter getting in the drone game? Also, what do you think of 'live tweeting drones'?

Hi, @jack! Square Cash has become one of my favorite and most used apps, especially because of its simplistic design. Do you plan to build on Square Cash, perhaps by adding analytical business tools, or do you like it the way it is?

@jack any chance of Periscope officially offering up API to partner app developers, so we don't have to resort to hacks?

What business decision are you most proud of making this year and why?

Hey @jack Would you consider selling or merging Twitter with another larger platform to expand Twitter MAU and reach?

Who inspired you the most?

Hi Jack. What consumer product (app) do you think should be built?

@jack Since Twitter Flight and your keynote address, how has Twitter's relationship with developers improved?

Hi Jack.....I believe taking on news is a really big responsibility. Recently I have been finding the news on twitter to be really bias probably at par with fox. How does your team deal with maintaining unbiased news? Is this a priority for you all?

@jack I'm curious, why not conduct this Q&A on Twitter?

@jack can't wait to see @Twitter innovations in dynamic ad-hoc timelines, improvements to Collections feature, etc. -- can you share your thoughts on the business opportunity of curated and forensic timelines?

@jack Dont you think Twitter should be engaging in the sense give ideas to users on what to tweet. The fundamental problem for most users is they see a blank text box when they click the tweet button and have no idea what to tweet. Some suggestions on events, opinions, places or qna when you click the tweet button would make tweeting very interesting and engaging. Are you planning to do that.

Hey @jack , what are they key culture differences (if any) between Square and Twitter?

@jack what does your morning routine look like?

Hi! What's your take on virtual reality and how it can affect education?

@jack do you see square being folded into twitter? integrated payments would be huge for the platform, don't you think?

GM @Jack, How does Twitter help Periscope, and where can Periscope collaborate effectively with Twitter? - Not intended to be solely a product focused ?

@jack in which direction do you see Twitter evolving?

What's the first thing you do when you get into the office?

@jack Can you share more about the rise of communities like #blacktwitter and some of the lessons and takeaways you've observed from watching this community engage on Twitter?

@jack Why do you believe that Square Cash hasn't been adopted as widely as Venmo, and where do you see Square Cash in the near future?

@jack One more, non-emoji-based question: I've noticed analytics becoming far more integrated into my tweeting experience? I love it... but is this a mainstream thing? Do the more "normal" users care?

Do you have a plan to remove VCs and other trolls from Twitter?

@jack Hi jack, Whats your next big project that you are very excited about ?

With many agitated shareholders, how can Twitter better communicate its current value and vision for the future?

Hey @Jack. Will you colour your beard white if this gets most upvotes? 😄 merry Christmas!

Hey @jack! I 100% understand and appreciate your answer to @sacca, but how do you think about "convincing" churned users to try Twitter again? What are your plans for re-acquiring users who felt like Twitter wasn't for them?

$TWTR stock @ all time low @jack! Anything to fix this? To compete with $FB? Would you consider a buyout by $GOOG? How are you going to bring investors value?

@jack Hi Jack. What's your favorite thing to do at the Square Office? You should come visit the 8th floor and say Hi to the Customer Support Reps! and maybe grab a beer on 9th.

Hi @jack how did you make the transition from coding to business?

@jack What piece of advice do you regret not listening to early on in your career that later on proved to be true or useful?

@jack Hi Jack, what are your thoughts about tech-enabled nonprofit startups like Watsi? re: scalability & investability

@jack Hi Jack. I notice that Twitter and Square are shrinking. I notice that Facebook steals features you implement rapidly. Do you think the fundamentals behind these companies are no longer original enough to give them any advantage over competitors?

@jack Hi jack. Did the culture change at twitter between the time when you left and when you came back?

Hey @jack! I remember listening to a talk you gave at Y Combinator. You talked about writing a daily "DO" and "DON'T" list. Do you still find yourself doing this? How do you keep this fresh and challenging?

They are thousands of questions to be asked but the biggest challenge here is to find out which one of these should be asked. What is your biggest challenge today and how do you solve those?

Ok another one. How far would you go with a start up or any other business until u realize this is not working, ok lets change the attitude

Hi @jack. When you have an idea, what kind of scrutiny do you subject that idea to in order to qualify or disqualify it as something worthy of pursuit?

Hi Jack. I am a huge fan since I've read Hatching Twitter. How do you guys keep up with technologies/features of your rivals (Facebook, Snapchat etc)?

Hi Jack! After these years, what do you think was the crucial components of Twitter success? Esp. in comparison with competitors. There are many opinions about this, very interesting to hear yours.

Are you involved in any (or passionate about) not for profit initiatives? Tell us a little about your involvement?

Hi @Jack ...how important is design to you. How would he compare yourself with Steve Jobs and design... What's a key difference? 🙏✌️🙏

Hi Jack, social networks including Twitter are one of the channels through which terrorist and ISIS make propaganda and seek proselytes. Do you think is more important to censor them or use their thoughts, posts and tweets to understand through data analysis their modus operandi and precious informations? Thanks in advance!

Hey @jack. Do you see Square focusing on developing countries where access to financial services is difficult but in some areas mobile and mobile Fintech have surpassed other infrastructure growth areas like water and electricity?

@jack Twitter is used by many people in many different ways. How do you balance developing the product based on your vision while also being sensitive to all the ways that people use it?

.

@jack how is live video streaming from 5+ years ago changed to now with Periscope?

@jack As CEO of two hot tech companies, time management must require discipline. How do you divide your time between Twitter and Square and personal? How do you make time to exercise, prepare meals, etc?

@jack Where do you see Twitter in the next 5...10...20 years compared to other current social media platforms? How is Twitter going to differentiate and position itself in the future? ("Differentiate Or Die" -Jack Trout)

@jack What's your sleep schedule like? What are some hacks you do to get more out of your day?

Hey @jack, thanks for taking the time to share. I just wondered what you look for when you are building your team and how you go about leading that team?

@jack 1. What are the biggest challenges facing Twitter and Square today? and what plans do you have to fix them! Thanks for doing this today! 2. How long did it take to build the Square reader, and how did u execute so fast?

@jack help I had a question about the Twitter verification process as I am just a little interested about it I would love to be verified in the near future but I love twitter

@jack In your heart, what is your personal mission and how has your life as an entrepreneur brought you closer to achieving it.

Hey @jack What has been done about abuse on Twitter since Costolo mentioned how much Twitter "sucks" at it?

@jack insider sales at Twitter continue unabated. What, if anything can you do to regain insider confidence. If insiders don't find the ownership in the company attractive, why should external investors?

Hi @jack. What's the most important piece of advice you would give to a new budding entrepreneur starting a hardware company? I'm asking since you've seen both - software with Twitter and hardware with Square.

@jack love the tweet machine, how do you plan to make periscope a profitable venture for your company? big admirer.

@jack What do you think about Parse?

@jack do you think that Periscope could eventually be Twitter's most valuable asset?

Hi @jack - very cool for you to open yourself up. What do you consider your greatest strength(s) that's contributed to your innovative success?

@jack Whats your view on the bot movement (Slack bots, Hubot, etc) and how will the twitter platform get involved/enable this.

Hey @jack, um so when's Google buying Twitter? ;)

@jack has google or apple or any other company approached you for buyout talks? do you think google could help grow mau's if they bought twitter?

@jack What is more important in the beginning stages of a start up, getting a trademark or IP insurance?

Hey @jack why u think a kid at a young age should learn how to program? What's the "benefits"?

Hi @jack, is your intention to turn Twitter into the ultimate on-the-go lifestyle companion, eventually introducing localized entertainment, neighborhood watch and traffic alerts, airport delays, nearby sales or discounts, available library textbook alerts for college students and open parking spots?

Hey @jack, thanks for doing this. I wonder why it seems like Twitter is slow to roll out features. And when features do roll out, they rarely seem to be aimed at the users on Twitter who are creating a majority of the content. Will you work to bring more features that Twitter "power users" have been wanting?

@jack how much traction have you seen with advertising the nonregistered users

@jack thanks for joining Product Hunt Live! First off, congrats on re-joining Twitter and the IPO of Square. What are your 🔑s to success going into 2016?

@jack when will I be able to search on periscope by a hashtag to see what I want to see when I want to see versus having to look up a person that is broadcasting that?

@jack what is the best skill a person should learn outside of coding to be successful at Twitter?

@jack 1. What makes a great product manager? What skills does she or he have to have? 2. How would you teach someone good design?

@jack Regarding the new poll features, is Twitter verification intended to be used as a way of identifying voters, when Twitter is eventually used for elections? Im looking forward to being able to access public data on how many people voted a certain way, which will restore some credibility to the election process if users continue to trust Twitter like they do today. What issues do you foresee in people trying to cast doubt on the reputation of Twitter to discredit poll results? Would you work with a government in accessing that data or do you intend for polls to be used as a comparison for actual election results, once all registered voters have access to Twitter?

Hey @Jack, in your opinion, is Edward Snowden a traitor or a hero?

@jack You've seen Twitter used as a communication utility in so many different ways (social uprisings, natural disasters, man-made disasters, pop-culture, etc). Which of the use cases (in the aforementioned categories) surprised you as a creator and what use cases have you not yet seen?

@jack What's your pick for 2015's album of the year?

@jack have you ever thought of updating Twitters mobile website? I really think alot of people (including me) view the old visuals on the site and it discourages them from ever downloading the app.

@jack what's your favorite app, besides Twitter?

@jack I see you're a @BernieSanders supporter. What do you think we can do as a #Twitter community to help get #Bernie elected #POTUS?

I would like to see a feedback feature on the amount of support Twitter support is doing with all do repspect they are great to getting back to deal with an issue just want that type of system in place to have that feedback feature

Hey @jack - I am a investor in Twitter and have put a lot of my hard earned dollars into you and your company - I believe Twitter is the best place for second by second news and live updates - but I know investors and Wall Street alike are worried about user growth - one thing I think would be great is if Twitter had two separate live updates - one strictly news sports and stocks etc and other live updates of your friends, kind of like an Instagram stream on Twitter with updated pictures and status updates - the reason MAU growth has slowed is because sadly ever since Instagram and Facebook the world has become shallow in a sense and enjoy instant gratification from others and to be able to share what they are doing at the moment, their outfit, where they are, who they are with etc - that's why snapchat, Instagram and Facebook are doing so well, Twitter being live news is what separates itself from the rest, but incorporating an Instagram/Facebook like "live" feed for friends will probably help! I think you are a genius and I know you will innovate! Thank you for making a great product!

Twitter's stock performance has to be addressed. Are you aware of your company's stock price and do you have anything to say to investors that have lost faith in the leadership of your company due to the stocks performance in 2015?

@jack Who has had the biggest impact on your life?

@jack when all is said and done, what do you want to be known for/ have people say about you?

@jack Most important player on the Warriors outside of Steph?

@jack Who have you learned the most from and what did you learn from them?

@jack do you believe #AI will give people more power or it will take it from them? Do you agree with skeptics? How could AI be used in twitter to make people's lives easier ?

I don't see you live.

@jack You seem to have more on your plate than most people, and you have accomplished much more, as well. You have the same amount of hours in a day as any of us. What productivity software / tools do you use most often?

@jack What is your biggest regret in life ?

Will we see further integration of Periscope and Vine into the Twitter platform in the near future?

@jack do you listen to podcasts? if so, which are your favorite / would you recommend others to check out? =)

@jack what advice would you give to someone creating a product in a market where there are existing vendors?

@jack if you could go back again. Would you work for a company to gain experience in your twenties or keep building your own venture?

Hey @jack, as a fellow active music listener & @runjewels fanboy, who are some of your other fav artists at the moment?

@jack Will Periscope offer a service allowing users to charge (or not) each other for control over their drones? Applications of this service I can see would be leading friends on adventures, helping people find one another at big concerts and events, and just another level of interaction. Thanks

What are the most important things you have learned from being a manager?

Going to chance my arm, but can one get verified. I meet all the requirements but its just not happening @reedyxc ps. Keep up the awesome work!!

@jack Would you ever consider converting Twitter to a 501(c) and open sourcing its core products?

Twitter for Mac. Doomed or alive?

Should shareholders be excited for 2016?

@jack, There is nothing more real time than sports. How can twitter do a better job of simplifying the platform for sports related info during the games?

Hey @jack! You've said before that all company leaders are editors, who take ideas and edit them down into one cohesive story. Do you have an editing process for selecting ideas that form a cohesive story, or is it more of a mindset? Thank you!

Where do you see Twitter, Periscope and Moments 5 years from now?

@jack is there a future video option for Twitter [mobile app & desktop] in the works, will it have a captioning option for accessibility for deaf/HoH?

Jack what is your favorite memory from Twitter first days?

What's your favorite metal band?

@jack I'd absolutely love to pay for a premium version of Twitter. Sans ads, special features, etc. Will that ever be an option?

@jack Drawing on experiences from twitter and square ,what according to you are the biggest day to day changes between running a private start up and a publicly traded organization?

@jack Best way for a student from South Dakota to build connections to people in the valley?

Main struggle you had to deal with while starting a company? And how to overcome those.

Hey @jack, wanted to ask, between Periscope, Meerkat, Facebook Mentions and now Instagram, what is the secret ingredient of the consumer livestreaming platform that will prevail? And do you think this is the start of an ecosystem or a fight where only one will stay? Cheers!

@jack Today's interview about periscope talked about people broadcasting their own channels. I find it hard to find things on periscope that I'm looking for by just searching individual. I come to periscope to look for things that are going around on around the world. When can I use a hashtag see what's going on

Did you feel Twitter lost their company culture or was affected while you were out of the company, or not at all?

@jack I saw earlier today that you can now embed Invision app prototypes inside of a Tweet. https://twitter.com/Hellchick/st... While adding support interactive content in the form of polls seemed well aligned, this seems somewhat random. Do you classify this as just another embed like YouTube or Vimeo or is this part of a larger strategy to add more utility to the tweet / feed?

Quick follow-up to my "what is your favorite metal band" question: Does your favorite metal band change when you are actively working as CEO of Square and when you are actively working as CEO of Twitter?

Hey @jack, Apple plays a huge role in helping products like Twitter and Square take off. Do you think you would be in this business if Apple didn't launch iPhone?

Hi @Jack - There is a lot of focus on @Twitter and @Square, but how has being on the board of Disney influenced you? Thank you!

Please do something for Twitter for Mac. It feels obsolete. If you wanted me to use twitter.com it worked tho. 🤔

@jack Hi! What companies are you most excited about? (apart from Twitter and Square)!

Long term do you see Twitter continuing to be the main product or more like Facebook where it's a host of many products(Instagram, Whats App, etc) some almost as big as Facebook itself?

@jack Thank you for being Jack Dorsey! Taking a look back at everything you have and have not accomplished in your life thus far... If you could only create / develop only 1 "thing" what would it be and why?

@jack bring square to Brazil!

@jack Hi Jack, Thanks for your time here :) I have a few short questions: 1. What is the best advice you can give to entrepreneurs in 6 words or less? 2. What time will you sleep tonight? 3. What is the last thing you've Googled?

@jack You list the Tao Te Ching as a book that had a major influence on you, and you say meditation is at the center of your de-stressing routines. I wonder if psychedelics have had an influence on your outlook, and whether you can say a little bit as to how?

@jack in hindsight, do you feel the actions from previous years to enforce tighter controls around the supported use cases for developers (e.g. don't pay cow paths) as the right decision? Do you see your relationship with developers changing in any significant way over the coming months, years? If so, how?

@jack I notice you tweet a lot about the Warriors. Do you have season tickets? Do you go to a lot of the games?
