As detailed in Nick Bilton's 2013 book Hatching Twitter, Twitter's formation has been anything but smooth. An early cofounder, Noah Glass, was pushed out and, later, cofounder Jack Dorsey was also demoted from the CEO position in 2008. The discord continued in 2011, when Fortune detailed secret meetings, power struggles and "a board and top executive team that don't always appear to have control of its wide-ranging cast of characters."
