Twitter was launched in the year 2006 by Jack Dorsey with co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone. To hit the knock at twitter, there went on a long brain storming session at the twitter hub. The team was inspired by his instant messaging, Live Journal service coming alive in real-time, SMS technology, mobile phone buzzing an update and they wanted to conceptualize a name which gives a resemblance to pretty much of the all the things. They finally wrote two options, Twitter and Jitter, and put it in a hat. They picked one and that's how twitter came became an integral name of our lives.
