Retrieved on 2013-09-04.〕 He went to Catholic high school, at Bishop DuBourg High School. By age fourteen, Dorsey had become interested in dispatch routing. Some of the open source software he created in the area of dispatch logistics is still used by many taxi cab companies.〔 Dorsey attended the Missouri University of Science and Technology before subsequently transferring to New York University, but he dropped out. He first came up with the idea that became Twitter at New York University. While working on dispatching as a programmer, he later moved to California. In Oakland in 2000, Dorsey started his company to dispatch couriers, taxis, and emergency services from the Web. His other projects and ideas at this time included networks of medical devices and a "frictionless service market".〔 In July 2000, building on dispatching〔 and inspired in part by LiveJournal and possibly by AOL Instant Messenger, he had the idea for a Web-based realtime status/short message communication service.〔 When he first saw implementations of instant messaging, Dorsey wondered whether the software's user status output could be shared among friends easily.〔 He approached Odeo, which at the time happened to be interested in text messaging.〔 Dorsey and Biz Stone decided that SMS text suited the status message idea, and built a prototype of Twitter in about two weeks.〔 The idea attracted many users at Odeo and investment from Evan Williams〔 who had left Google after selling Pyra Labs and Blogger. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jack Dorsey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
