財(cái)富精英勵(lì)志演講 第73期:分享生活點(diǎn)滴(1)

[00:01:00]Four years ago ,on the TED’s stage,I annouced a company as working with at the time called Odeo. 四年前，我在TED上，介紹了當(dāng)時(shí)工作的公司Odeo。 [00:08:51]And because of that announcement we got a big article in the New York Times which led to more press ,which led to more attention , 由于那次演講，紐約時(shí)報(bào)為我們寫了一大篇文章，然后它又帶來了更多媒體的報(bào)道，吸引了更多關(guān)注。 [00:15:53]and me deciding to become the CEO of that company ,whereas I was just an adviser and raising around venture captital and ramping up a hiring . 之后我決定要當(dāng)這家公司的CEO——那之前我只是個(gè)顧問——并成功獲得風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資 同時(shí)招聘更多人才。 [00:25:32]One of the guys I hired was engineer named Jack Dorsey,and a year later,we were trying to decide which way to go with Odeo . 我招了一名叫Jack Dorsey的工程師，當(dāng)一年后我們商量Odeo的發(fā)展方向時(shí)， [00:33:06]Jack presented an idea that he had been thinking around with for a number of years based around sending simple status and updates . Jack提出了一個(gè)他捉摸了好幾年的點(diǎn)子基本上就是個(gè)能向朋友們發(fā)送簡單消息的想法。 [00:41:51]So we kind of put the two into together .in the eraly 2006,we launched Twitter as a side project to Odeo. Odeo當(dāng)時(shí)也在探索短信服務(wù)，所以我們差不多是想將他們兩結(jié)合在一起。2006年初，作為Odeo的一個(gè)業(yè)余項(xiàng)目，Twitter項(xiàng)目開始進(jìn)行。 [00:49:56]Now,it is hard to justify doing a side project at a start up where focus is so critical . 現(xiàn)在很難說搞業(yè)余項(xiàng)目是不是個(gè)好主意，因?yàn)閷τ诔鮿?chuàng)型企業(yè)，專注是至關(guān)重要的。 [00:54:51]But I had actuallly launched Blogger as a side projet to my previous company thinking that it was so little thing we do on the side . 但事實(shí)上，我在前一家公司推出的Blogger服務(wù)，也是一個(gè)業(yè)余項(xiàng)目。我當(dāng)時(shí)想這只不過是個(gè)隨便搞一下的小玩意。 [01:00:45]And it ended up taking over not only the company but my life for the next five or six years . 結(jié)果它不但占據(jù)了整個(gè)公司也占據(jù)了我之后五、六年的生活。 [01:05:42]So i learned to kind of follow hunches even though you cant necessarily justify them or know where they are going to go . 從中我學(xué)會(huì)了跟隨直覺，盡管你不知道它是否正確，也不知道它會(huì)發(fā)展成什么樣子。 [01:11:40]And that 's kind of what is happenking with twitter time after time . 這種情況又一次發(fā)生在了Twitter身上。 [01:15:03]So for those of you unfamiliar ,Twitter is based around very simple .seemingly trivial concept:you say what you are doing in 140 characters or less . 那么，對于那些不熟悉Twitter的人，它基于一個(gè)非常簡單，甚至微不足道的概念。你用不超過140個(gè)字說自己在做什么， [01:23:46]And people who are interested in you get those updates .If they are really interested,they get the updated as a text message on their cell phone . 對你感興趣的人就會(huì)收到這些消息。如果真的十分感興趣，他們甚至可以通過短信在手機(jī)上獲得這些信息。
