Who Founded Twitter?
Twitter was founded in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams. The idea for Twitter originated from a brainstorming session at Odeo, a podcasting company that Evan Williams and Noah Glass co-founded. Jack Dorsey, an engineer at Odeo, came up with the idea of a platform that allowed users to share short status updates.
Initially, the project was called "twttr," inspired by the five-character length of American SMS shortcodes. The service quickly evolved into what we now know as Twitter, allowing users to post "tweets" of up to 140 characters (now 280 characters).
The key founders associated with the creation of Twitter are:
- Jack Dorsey: The original idea for Twitter came from him, and he was the first CEO of the company.
- Noah Glass: He played a significant role in the development of the platform and was credited with coming up with the name "Twitter."
- Biz Stone: He was involved in the development and early promotion of Twitter.
- Evan Williams: He provided the initial funding and support for Twitter through his company Odeo and later became the CEO of Twitter.
