Who Invented Twitter?
If you’ve been wondering who invented Twitter, you’re not alone. This article discusses the founders of the social media service, including Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Marc Canter and Noah Glass. Those four men are the ones credited with creating the service. The rest are largely unknown, but they all played a key role in its creation and development. You can read about each one below. They are all equally as important as each other, so here’s a look at their respective backgrounds and contributions.
Evan Williams
Evan Williams, one of the co-founders of Twitter, has stepped down from the company’s board of directors. The reason is personal and was never stated in the company’s public statements, but the decision reflects the changes that he and other members of the Twitter team have undergone.

However, in light of recent events, he may not be as active as he once was.
While Williams does not play a role in the company’s governance, he does believe that speech on the site is “pretty free.” However, he admits that he hasn’t studied Twitter’s policies in a long time. Although the company has not made any changes to its policies in a few years, many have questioned whether Twitter will become private and controlled by a single person. If this does happen, Williams’ work may be in jeopardy.
Jack Dorsey
In 2003, social networking startup Twitter was in the process of going public. Jack Dorsey, a co-founder of instant messaging company Odeo, and Biz Stone built a prototype of Twitter in just two weeks. To see also : How to Create a Twitter Account. The service quickly gained popularity and soon attracted an investor, Evan Williams, who co-founded Odeo in 2005. At the time, Evan Williams had just left Google after selling his startup Pyra Labs and had left Blogger, as well.
As the company prepared to go public, Jack Dorsey envisioned a new way to communicate with people. He had developed dispatch software, which would help people better communicate with each other. He fell in love with visualizing cities, and he created solutions to streamline the systems. As the company continues to expand, Dick Costolo and Ev Williams could take on greater roles in the company’s leadership.

Marc Canter
Alysha met Marc Canter when episode 15 aired. Then, she found out about Jeff Pulver, who facilitated the networking group that brought the two of them together. However, the next episode made it clear that the meeting was for a purpose greater than meeting Canter. See the article : What Did Tex Walker Say on Twitter? The Truth May Surprise You. She learned that Canter had been a co-founder of MacroMind, which became Macromedia. Canter’s first company is now a part of the Xerox Corporation.
Canter’s career is one long line of digital transformation. In his teens, he was already writing music for video games. His first gig was at Bally Midway, where he wrote the music for Professor Pac-Man and other early video games. This spawned a lifelong love for multimedia. During his career, he wrote music for video games and became fascinated with social networking. He now teaches a course on the history of digital technologies at Case Western Reserve University.
Noah Glass
Noah Glass is an entrepreneur who co-founded Twitter. He also founded Odeo, a podcasting platform that was acquired by Google in 2006. The name “Twitter” was actually coined by Glass. When Apple launched iTunes, Glass and his co-founder Ev Williams decided to start a podcasting platform of their own. Their project was called Twttr at the time. Since then, Twitter has become an essential part of our daily lives.
After a few months, the two co-founded a company called Olo. It was the first startup in the history of the Internet. Evan Williams and Noah Glass had previously worked together on Odeo, an early podcasting platform. However, the company’s management felt that they couldn’t compete with Apple. Glass’ idea was to create a service that allowed users to share small bloglike updates with their friends and contacts. This idea was initially referred to as Twttr but was later changed to Twitter.
