There's A New Crowdfunding Campaign To Give Money To Twitter's Forgotten Co-Founder
Unless the sympathy of people on the Internet can change that, that is.
Matthew Dieters, a member of the San Francisco tech scene, just launched a campaign on crowdfunding website Crowdtilt to raise $1 million for the forgotten founder.
After The New York Times published an excerpt from Nick Bilton's book "Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal" that made Jack Dorsey look like a jerk and Glass seem like a casualty of Silicon Valley war, Dieters decided that Glass shouldn't be left in the lurch.
He designed the campaign to rally as much support as possible behind Glass, shooting to raise $1 million, although the campaign will be successful as long as people contribute $10,000. The campaign expires November 13, around the time the Twitter IPO is expected.
Check out the blurb Dieters posted on the campaign:
This support-oriented project is not the first of its kind. Earlier this year 350 people pooled over $13K to send thanks to Edward Snowden for leaking important government documents.
