Biz Stone Is Leaving Twitter

He's relaunching his old company, The Obvious Corp.

Twitter seems to have trouble getting its three co-founders to stick around. In 2008, Jack Dorsey was replaced as CEO by fellow co-founder Evan Williams, and two years later, Williams also stepped down. Then, this past March, Dorsey returned as product chief. Now, third co-founder Biz Stone has announced that he too is leaving day-to-day work at the company.

“My work on Twitter has spanned more than half a decade, and I will continue to work with the company for many years to come,” said Stone in a post on his blog.
