Rich Eisen Talks With Twitter CEO Dick Costolo on The Rich Eisen Podcast
In a special edition of The Rich Eisen Podcast, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo is in-studio to talk all things about the social media medium and the impact it has had, not only the NFL, but the entire sports world.
Throughout the hour long conversation, Rich Eisen and Costolo touch on a number of topics including:
· Growing up in Troy, Michigan and attending the University of Michigan
· Background in stand-up comedy and relationship with Steve Carell
· Career background and discussion of FeedBurner, which has had a profound impact on podcasting
· Twitter was formed out of a podcasting company (Odeo)
· The power of the Twitter platform
· Balancing the needs of the business with the rights of Twitter users
· Kobe Bryant’s use of Twitter well
· The rigorous rules around being verified on the Twitter platform
· How Twitter actively recruits people from all different businesses, backgrounds, and nationalities
· The possibility of adding a sarcasm font to Twitter….the “Eisen font?”
· The future of Twitter now that the business is publicly owned
· Discussion of the advertising business of Twitter
· Twitter’s work with sports teams and specifically the San Francisco 49ers. Relationship with Jed York of 49ers and excitement over new 49ers stadium
· Discussion of Michigan football and thoughts on QB Devin Gardener
· Questions from Twitter users for Costolo
1. Talking about driving TV tune in and impacting TV ratings
2. How huge events would “break Twitter” and hoping Brazil didn’t score in 2010 World Cup
3. What is Costolo’s seminal Twitter event?
· Pope using Twitter
· Personal story around the Boston Marathon bombings

· Events – the entirety of the experience can be deeper and richer on Twitter. For example, the upcoming World Cup, Twitter wants to balance serving up the best tweets with the “roar of the crowd” you feel on the platform. Making that work usually is a design challenge but one that “I want us to keep working on at Twitter.”
