Or maybe you&#8217;d like to know who founded Twitter? If so, you&#8217;re not alone. Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Noah Glass, and Biz Stone are among the people behind the social networking site. Read on to find out who these four people are and what they do. Listed below are their background stories, and which one you should follow on Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jack_Dorsey\"><\/span>Jack Dorsey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before he founded Twitter, Jack Dorsey had already been involved with the web development industry. In 2006, he co-founded the social networking service, and he later served as the company&#8217;s CEO and chairman of the board. He also created the Square online payment system, which has since become one of the most widely used online services. But Jack Dorsey&#8217;s future is uncertain, and there have been rumors that he&#8217;ll leave the company in the future.<\/p>\n<p>While most people dream of starting a unicorn, few actually do. It is hard to scale a great idea to a unicorn, and it takes the right opportunity, strategy, and stage-wise skills to make it a success. Thankfully, Dorsey&#8217;s visionary leadership and unwavering dedication helped Twitter reach its goal of a billion users. In September, Mr. Dorsey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee, answering questions regarding his stance on the issue of political favoritism.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Biz_Stone\"><\/span>Biz Stone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Christopher Isaac &#8220;Biz&#8221; Stone is an American entrepreneur and co-founder of Twitter. Prior to launching Twitter, Stone was the creative director at Xanga, a web-based community and social network that was popular with college students. Stone also co-founded a search engine called Jelly with Ben Finkel. Both sites were based on visual imagery and discovery. In 2001, Stone and Finkel sold the company to Google for $2 billion.<\/p>\n<p>While working for Twitter, Stone helped design the platform in an early version. The co-founder title didn&#8217;t come with a large equity stake, but it allowed Stone to say that he was a co-founder. As Twitter became more popular, that title became priceless. Among his other projects, he co-founded the podcasting platform Odeo. Despite the decision to leave Twitter, Stone says he still enjoys being a board member and working with colleagues.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evan_Williams\"><\/span>Evan Williams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Evan Clark Williams is an American billionaire who is also the founder of several technology companies. Twitter is one of these companies. Other companies he founded include Blogger, Medium, and a few other smaller ones. But the most popular are Twitter and Blogger. What made Evan Williams so successful? Here are a few things to know about him. And, if you&#8217;re interested in learning more about him, read on to find out more about his entrepreneurial journey.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s founder remains an active board member and focuses mainly on product strategy. He spent months overhauling the Twitter site. He has a great understanding of what Internet users want. He&#8217;s not the best task manager, but he knows how to understand them and their habits. In fact, his biggest challenge is keeping the company from making managerial mistakes abroad. So how can he do that? Read on to learn more about Twitter&#8217;s founder.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Noah_Glass\"><\/span>Noah Glass<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the founders of Twitter is Noah Glass. He co-founded the company in 2006. The following year, he was pushed out and became co-founder of Odeo with his friend Ev Williams. The pair had plans to create a podcasting platform, but they panicked when Apple launched iTunes. Now, the company is worth over $500 million, according to its founders. Despite the controversy surrounding Glass, Twitter has been a success story for its founders.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s success was fueled by the founders&#8217; vision. In fact, the company&#8217;s founders were so committed to their mission that they delayed scheduled server maintenance during the Iranian election protests in 2009. Many people considered the delay as political side-taking. However, this early example of social media&#8217;s power to spread news demonstrates the tenacity of the company&#8217;s founders. This company is now one of the most popular social networking sites.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"372\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sOrxNvaGgLI\" height=\"208\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is Founder of Twitter?
