Twitter Roots - LiveJournal

    One of the founders of Twitter, programmer Jack Dorsey (Jack Dorsey) told some interesting details about how he came up with the idea of ​​twitter and how his career began.

    “Dorsey was born on November 19, 1976 in St. Louis (Missouri, USA). From childhood he was interested in programming, and at the age of 14 he began to write programs for dispatching taxis and fire services. The idea of ​​Twitter came to him at the age of 15, when he once again heard how drivers talk to each other about where they are and what they are doing. She began to take shape when in 2000 Dorsey became a user of Livejournal. “The idea to make a more lively LiveJournal came to my mind. In real time, from the wheels, ”recalls Dorsey.”

    Dorsey is the only one of the three founders of Twitter with a college degree. Both Biz Stone and Evan Williams dropped out of their colleges. Perhaps that is why it was Jack who became the CEO of the startup.
