Twitter co-founder Biz Stone to rejoin

San Francisco May 17 (IANS) Twitter co-founder Biz Stone who left the company in 2011 is rejoining the company as a full-time employee.

My top focus will be to guide the company culture that energy that feeling. It s important that everyone understands the whole story of Twitter and each of our roles in that story. I ll shape the experience internally so it s also be felt outside the company Stone wrote in his blog post on Tuesday.

Stone recently sold his startup Jelly to Pinterest.

It is still not clear what Stone s title will be but according to ReCode he will report to Twitter Chief Marketing Officer Leslie Berland and help with internal communications and morale at the company.

With Stone s return Twitter now has two of its co-founders back with a third Evan Williams sitting on the board.

According to Stone s post his decision to return was surprising even to him.

I wasn t really sure if he meant it Stone wrote.

After Tea Time we spoke privately and Jack told me that he really did -- he wanted me to come back and work at Twitter. The company I co-founded the service I co-invented. I was stunned but I knew the answer he added.
