Dom Sagolla is the author of 140 Characters, a style guide for the short form. He's also the founder of DollarApp, an app studio that produces a variety of 99 cent apps for the iPhone; and a co-founder of iPhoneDevCamp, an international, not-for-profit developer conference for the iPhone community. iPhoneDevCamp 3 was hosted here at Yahoo! in July 2009, which is how YDN met Dom.
Dom describes the early days of Twitter, the epiphany that they could change the world with 140 characters, and the birth of his new book.

We are all grateful to Yahoo! for sponsoring not just the venue, but also the food and some prizes this year at iPhoneDevCamp 3.
We had over 700 people on site, and another 1000+ participating simultaneously this year, a new record. Yahoo! was the only place in Silicon Valley we could have done the event at this scale.
Thank you Tom and Havi for the opportunity,
-Dom
