How Twitter was born

Do you remember what you were doing back in the spring of 2006? The first users of Twitter probably do - they were signing up for the new service that had been developed when Jack Dorsey told a brainstorming meeting at Odeo that "I want to have a dispatch service that connects us on our phones using text".

You can see the list of the first 140 people to sign up with Twitter, which of course includes Dorsey and co-founder Biz Stone at No.1 and No.2. Evan Williams, for many the face of Twitter, is down there at No.8.
