History of Twitter

Twitter was founded by Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Jack Dorsey in South Park, San Francisco. Twitter unlike Facebook, has gone through a longer process to get launched. Williams and Stone formed a company named Odeo, and it is through this company that Twitter was formed. Even though this company did not do well, Twitter was one of it main products and was becoming successful. Its name is based on the chirping of birds, as it represents the exchange of information in the social network. Due to the importance of Twitter, the company Odeo was bought out, and a new company, Obvious Corporation was formed where Twitter was the main product. In, March 2006, Twitter became it’s a company of its own and this resulted in a new company known as Twitter Incorporated.
