Yesterday’s class was a fascinating double-feature: Othman Laraki, Twitter’s Vice President for Growth, International and Revenue, on Growing a Human-Scale Service, and Raffi Krikorian, the Director of Twitter’s Platform Services group, on the Twitter Software Ecosystem:

You can also view the slides for Othman‘s and Raffi‘s talks.

This was a privileged inside-look, and I am so grateful to both speakers for taking the time to address the class.  And the students did a great job asking well-informed questions; thanks everyone!

Welcome to the UC Berkeley Twitter Course!

The first class meeting will be held in room 210 South Hall on Thursday August 23 at 2pm.

The course is oversubscribed.  More than 100 people wish to take a course that was originally intended for about 35 people.   The room physically holds about 55 people.

We will be posting videos of the lectures online on this web site so that those who cannot take the course will be able to access most of the material.  It will take several days before the videos appear, so please be patient.  We will tweet when the videos are posted.

The first readings have been posted on the syllabus page.  They will give you some idea of the technical content of the course.
