Student at New York University when he came up with the idea of Twitter. He shared the idea with his team members at Odeo, describing it as a service that could connect people over the phone through texts. Everyone loved the idea, and luckily, it was selected for prototyping amongst other ideas from other teams. When the demos of all the approved ideas were to be made, Jack and two other people were assigned to build the first-ever version of Twitter.


On the 21st of March 2006, Jack and his cofounders created the very first vp purchasing officer email lists version of Twitter, and Jack made the very first tweet ever. The project was code-named “Twttr” to symbolize the five characters of the American SMS short codes, and also due to the fact that the “twitter.com” domain had already been registered by someone else. Jack Dorsey, his cofounders, and some other members of Odeo formed a new company and acquired Odeo with its assets.


At this point, Twitter and its parent organizations were owned by Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone, Evan Williams, and some members of the old Odeo, after purchasing the company from investors and shareholders. After the forming of a new company and the acquisition of Odeo, Twitter was spun off into its own entity. Twitter continued to grow and gather more users, and its founder, Jack Dorsey, emerged as the CEO of the company.
