Jack Dorsey Twitter has been his life's work in many senses. It started with a fascination with cities and how they work, and what’s going on in them right now. That led Dorsey to the only thing that was tractable in discovering that, which was bicycle messengers and truck couriers roaming about, delivering packages. That allowed Dorsey to create this visualization -- to create software that allowed him to see how this was all moving in a city. Then they started adding in the next element, which are taxi cabs. Now they have another entity roaming about the metropolis, reporting where it is and what work it has, going over GPS and CB radio or cellphone. And then you get to the emergency services: ambulances, fire trucks and police -- and suddenly you have this very rich sense of what’s happening right now in the city. But it’s missing the public. It's missing normal people. And that’s where Twitter came in
