In 2006, a then unknown Biz Stone, the founder of Twitter, put on big thick glasses and a kind of professorial get-up to promote what is now called Twitter, only then he called it Twttr.
Now, thanks to Say OMG, that video has been unearthed and presented for view on YouTube. The video is here:
At the time Twitter was pitched by Biz Stone not as a microblogging service but a "social texting" system. But it's interesting that a short, funny video about a new system spawned something that's directly impacted the Iran protests. Wild.
It's always the simple and elegant inventions that are the most effective at cultural change.
