Who knew when Jeff Pulver planned the 140 Conference #140conf Iran presidential meltdown would overlap.

“expect the unexpected, and when ever possible, be the Unexpected”

As I sit in this packed room, feeling the electricity here, feeling History, in this room, I greatly retreat I didn’t take the whole day off just to be here – where the current of the entire world is, for this moment. Oh well, I’ll be back late this afternoon.

We never had celebrity and political unfiltered access till Twitter. I’m glad I’m here this morning.

Jeff Pulver announced there would be a 140 Conference in London next October and LA next November and has an open casting call for both. Contact @jeffpulver to apply.

Twitter is part of a revolution that will shift power and many in this room will be instramental in that shift.

Jack Dorsey – Twitter
Twitter is a distillation between many ideas; Jack Dorsey learnt programming by teaching himself how to track local traffic in NYC and visualize it. Not too long ago, Barack Obama gave a speech and Jack Dorsey saw the updates in real time, and the transparancy it brought was transformative.

How our governent works – success of what Twitter is, it’s a tool to explore and build our democracy.

The energy in this conference is historic and off the scale. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a more “happening” conference than this! Wow!
