Just finished reading a very interesting article on how Twitter was conceived and how it came to be. If you're like me, you'll enjoy every line of the article.

It's quite interesting to read that one of the most accomplished and praised start-ups was just an idea a few friends had and not some fluffy business plan, backed by some VC's.

In fact, if you know of any other "how it started..." story, send me a comment.
