Christopher Isaac Stone, Biz Stone born on march 10, 1974 in Boston and grew up in Wellesley, Massachusetts.  If you are wondering about his pseudonym BIZ , well here is the short story: He said in an interview that Biz was short for his own ineptitude.

He tried to tell people his name but they wouldn't have it.

Tweetworth (http://tweetworth.com/) is a service that, based on the number of your followers, followings and tweets, gives you an estimate cost of your account. But hey, don't take it too seriously, as that value is only a reference to the relevance you may have, currently there's no way to see how much a twitter account is really worth. Also, since this kind of services uses the number of followers as a part of the value, they can be tricked easily. Earlier this year you could buy followers on ebay for less than a cent, but of course, the majority of these accounts are bots, with no interaction at all. Besides that, the truth is that there are some people monetizing their twitter accounts.
