The founders, Biz Stone and Evan Williams, talked to Maureen Dowd. Clever stuff:
[DOWD]: I would rather be tied up to stakes in the Kalahari Desert, have honey poured over me and red ants eat out my eyes than open a Twitter account. Is there anything you can say to change my mind?

"Well, when you do find yourself [tied to a stake in the Kalahari Desert] you’re gonna want Twitter. You might want to type out the message 'Help.'"
Because, as we all know, everyone who is ever tied to a stake in the Kalahari desert is always left with a computer, a high-speed internet connection, and plenty of electrical outlets so that Twitter can come to your rescue.
LOL.
Twitter is a company started as a joke that made the mistake of assuming that people weren't complete morons.
Lo and behold!
