We can blame this one on Silicon Valley, folks. The outfit San Franciscans for Jobs and Good Government, an independent group led by Silicon Valley "angel investor" Ron Conway and propped up with Sean Parker's cash, has released this take on MC Hammer's "2 Legit 2 Quit" to support the campaign of San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee.

Having failed to make Twitter a beacon of corporate responsibility, co-founders Ev Williams and Biz Stone launched a new venture to "unlock human potential" and "improve the world." Which they are totally going to get to, just as soon as they finish their tequila and champagne bacchanal at the VIP table of a Las Vegas nightclub.

Creative Artists Agency is reportedly discussing opening a Silicon Valley office where tech executives would become "rock stars." And they may start with Biz Stone, the vodka pitchman, Twitter co-founder, AOL adviser, and blogging how-to author. Stone is a good choice, being undistracted as he is with being an actual functioning technology executive.

When tech titans meet, sparks fly! Sparks from a blazing bonfire of social missteps. This weekend, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone told NPR the excruciating tale of the time he met Mark Zuckerberg.

He's been expunged from Twitter's official history, but Noah Glass is widely acknowledged as the microblogging system's most passionate advocate from when he named and helped create Twitter until the day he was fired. Business Insider tells his story.

Twitter, the lavishly funded microblogging service, is bullying its hometown of San Francisco into $22 million in tax breaks even as the city cuts health, police, transit and virtually all other city services. So much for Twitter's bleeding heart pretensions.

Biz Stone talks about how he and his wife decided to become vegans, Twitter, and his technology free home as he and Martha discover the joys of cooking with seitan together.

Last night, one of the co-founders of Twitter, Biz Stone, appeared on Conan on the day that the social-networking service turned five years old. Conan and Biz spoke about Twitter's humble beginnings, Conan's tweets, and how Biz's mother still has no idea what he actually does.

Tonight, Stephen Colbert revealed that his June tweet about BP's oil spill was retweeted more than any other this year. Then, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone came on stage to present Colbert with the first ever "Golden Tweet Award." Watch inside.

Ev Williams and Biz Stone shared stories of Twitter's early inception — far back when it was referred to as "Jitter" and "Twitch." After, the group (including Rainn Wilson) read some tweets from #awwhellno, the Fallon-created hashtag that's trending worldwide.

It's a question for the ages. Who's more smug: Biz Stone, the vegan, vodka-shilling Twitter co-founder, or Malcolm Gladwell, the New Yorker's wild-haired maker of memes? Stone today made the case against "smug... wrong... absurd" Gladwell, a known Twitter hater.

Biz Stone, the co-founder of Twitter, has described his company as a "globally meaningful... triumph of the human spirit." One other personal passion: flavored vodka for apple martinis, apparently. Stone doesn't just drink them — he's become a spokesman.

Biz Stone used an age-shortener to fit his birthday onto Twitter; Julia Allison tried doing math with her brain; and Ana Marie Cox attempted to flirt with Rahm Emanuel over basic cable. The Twitterati turned to tools of last resort.

Twitter's only recently become an international sensation, but, unlike some of its more slow-and-steady contemporaries, it's already looking to make a buck and this week hinted again at letting the ad revenue stream in. This may not end well.

In any given month, half of Twitter's users never log on. Oy. To fix that, the microblogging service hand-picked some streams to push on new users, hoping quality content would prove addictive. How do you think that worked out?

Biz Stone was working on his vacation; Robert Gibbs skipped his David Brooks homework and a reporter covering Oprah Winfrey fled her goons. For the Twitterati, this week can't end soon enough.

Biz Stone is trying to get $575,000 for his tidy "poet's cottage" in the Berkeley hills. The Twitter co-founder's real estate agent must be tearing her hair out: Stone's explained on television how much he regretted buying the place.
