Dorsey grew up in Saint Louis, Missouri, and by age 13, he had become interested in dispatch routing. Some of the open source software he created in the area of dispatch logistics is still used by taxicab companies. He went to high school at Bishop DuBourg High School and attended Missouri University of Science and Technology before subsequently transferring to New York University, where he first conceived the idea for Twitter.

So what was the first tweet tweeted?

On March 21, 2006, when Dorsey published the first Twitter message at 9:50 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST), he tweeted:

 "just setting up my twttr".
 

"...we came across the word 'twitter', and it was just perfect. The definition was 'a short burst of inconsequential information,' and 'chirps from birds'. And that's exactly what the product was." – Jack Dorsey

To-date, Jack Dorsey has over 1,721,925 followers on Twitter and have made over 10,000 tweets!
