Twitter co-founder goes unrecognized

"Washington (CNN) -- He has approximately 1.6 million Twitter followers, but does that make Twitter co-founder Biz Stone a recognizable celebrity wherever he goes? Stone laughed when answering that question during an interview Sunday on CNN's 'Reliable Sources' with Howard Kurtz.
'No, no, I don't think internet dorks are necessarily the kind of people that get stopped in restaurants,' he said. 'They get me in little 140-character bursts of information.'
The Twitter co-founder also brushed off any notion that Twitter was stealing thunder from the popular social-networking site, Facebook.
'It doesn't feel like that for us, at least internally,' said Stone. 'I feel like we're adding to, you know, this sort of brave new world of information where we get what we need when we need it.'"
