There was this path of discovery with something like that, where over time you figure out what it is. They called it a social network, they called it microblogging, but it was hard to define, because it didn't replace anything. With Twitter, it wasn't clear what it was. Williams provided insight into the ambiguity that defined this early period in a 2013 interview: Twitter spun off into its own company in April 2007. Williams fired Glass, who was silent about his part in Twitter's startup until 2011. In October 2006, Biz Stone, Evan Williams, Dorsey, and other members of Odeo formed Obvious Corporation and acquired Odeo, together with its assets-including and -from the investors and shareholders.

The full version was introduced publicly on July 15, 2006. The first Twitter prototype, developed by Dorsey and contractor Florian Weber, was used as an internal service for Odeo employees. The definition was "a short burst of inconsequential information", and "chirps from birds". we came across the word "twitter", and it was just perfect. Dorsey has explained the origin of the "Twitter" title: PST ( UTC−08:00): "just setting up my twttr". Work on the project started on March 21, 2006, when Dorsey published the first Twitter message at 12:50 p.m. The developers initially considered "10958" as a short code, but later changed it to "40404" for "ease of use and memorability". The decision was also partly due to the fact that the domain was already in use, and it was six months after the launch of twttr that the crew purchased the domain and changed the name of the service to Twitter.

The original project code name for the service was twttr, the disemvowelled version of the word twitter, an idea that Williams later ascribed to Noah Glass, inspired by Flickr and the five-character length of American SMS short codes. Jack Dorsey, then an undergraduate student at New York University, introduced the idea of an individual using an SMS service to communicate with a small group. Twitter's origins lie in a "daylong brainstorming session" held by board members of the podcasting company Odeo. 2006, by Jack Dorsey, envisioning an SMS-based social network
