I've come to know Dick Costolo, COO at Twitter, pretty well in the past year, though I've known him for much longer. FM and his previous company, Feedburner, had a deal in the early days of RSS, and I've always liked his point of view on our industry. Feedburner was acquired by Google, and Dick spent a short year or so there before moving on to Twitter.

Since he joined, Twitter has rolled out a ton of new features, (mostly) fixed its platform stability issues, launched a beta trial of its advertising platform (Promoted Tweets), and managed to grow a few orders of magnitude to over 100 million uniques.

I interviewed Dick at Twitter's Chirp conference last month, and look forward to doing it again at the CM Summit (June 7-8).

What would you like to hear from him? Leave your thoughts in the comments, thanks!

Note: And don't forget to review & add your thoughts for Hilary Schneider, Arianna Huffington,Tony Hsieh, Tim Armstrong, Omar Hamoui, and Arthur Sulzberger, Jr.
