Creation and introductory response
An outline, c. 2006, by Jack Dorsey, imagining a SMS-based interpersonal organization.
Twitter's inceptions lie in a "daylong meeting to generate new ideas" held by board individuals from the podcasting organization Odeo. Jack Dorsey, at that point an undergrad understudy at New York University, presented the possibility of an individual utilizing a SMS administration to speak with a little group.[20][21] The first undertaking code name for the administration was twttr, a thought that Williams later attributed to Noah Glass,[22] roused by Flickr and the five-character length of American SMS short codes. The choice was additionally halfway because of the way that the space twitter.com was at that point being used, and it was a half year after the dispatch of twttr that the team obtained the area and changed the name of the administration to Twitter.[23] The designers at first thought to be "10958" as a short code, yet later transformed it to "40404" for "usability and memorability".[24] Work on the task began on March 21, 2006, when Dorsey distributed the primary Twitter message at 9:50 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST): "simply setting up my twttr".[1] Dorsey has clarified the birthplace of the "Twitter" title:
...we ran over the word 'twitter', and it was simply great. The definition was 'a short burst of insignificant data,' and 'twitters from fowls'. What's more, that is precisely what the item was.[25]
The main Twitter model, created by Dorsey and temporary worker Florian Weber, was utilized as an interior administration for Odeo employees[26] and the full form was presented openly on July 15, 2006.[7] In October 2006, Biz Stone, Evan Williams, Dorsey, and different individuals from Odeo shaped Obvious Corporation and gained Odeo, together with its advantages — including Odeo.com and Twitter.com — from the speculators and shareholders.[27] Williams let go Glass, who was quiet about his part in Twitter's startup until the point when 2011.[28] Twitter spun off into its own particular organization in April 2007.[29] Williams gave knowledge into the uncertainty that characterized this early period in a 2013 meeting:
With Twitter, it wasn't clear what it was. They called it an interpersonal organization, they called it microblogging, however it was difficult to characterize, in light of the fact that it didn't supplant anything. There was this way of revelation with something to that effect, where after some time you make sense of what it is. Twitter really changed from what we thought it was at the outset, which we depicted as notices and a social utility. It is that, partially, however the understanding we inevitably came to was Twitter was extremely a greater amount of a data arrange than it is a social network.[30]
The tipping point for Twitter's prevalence was the 2007 South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) meeting.

"Several gathering goers watched each other through steady twitters. Specialists and speakers specified the administration, and the bloggers in participation touted it."[33]
Response at the gathering was exceptionally positive. Blogger Scott Beale said that Twitter was "totally controlling" SXSWi. Social programming specialist danah boyd said Twitter was "owning" the conference.[34] Twitter staff got the celebration's Web Award prize with the comment "we'd get a kick out of the chance to thank you in 140 characters or less. Also, we just did!"[35] The principal unassisted off-Earth Twitter message was posted from the International Space Station by NASA space traveler T. J. Half and half on January 22, 2010.[36] By late November 2010, a normal of twelve updates for each day were posted on the space explorers' common record, @NASA_Astronauts. NASA has likewise facilitated more than 25 "tweetups", occasions that give visitors VIP access to NASA offices and speakers with the objective of utilizing members' informal communities to advance the effort objectives of NASA. In August 2010, the organization selected Adam Bain from News Corp's. Fox Audience Network as leader of revenue.[37]
