Twitter roots are in LiveJournal
One of the founders of Twitter, programmer Jack Dorsey (Jack Dorsey) told some interesting details about how he got the idea of Twitter and how his career began.
“Dorsey was born on November 19, 1976 in St. Louis (Missouri, USA). Since 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 with each other about where they are and what they are doing. She began to register when, in 2000, Dorsey became a Livejournal user. “I got the idea to make a more lively LiveJournal.” In real time, from the wheel, "- says Dorsey."
Dorsey - the only one of the three founders of Twitter with higher education. Both Biz Stone and Evan Williams dropped out of their colleges. Perhaps that is why it was Jack who became the CEO of a startup.
