\t\t\t\tTwitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, who was pushed out of the company as chief executive in 2008, is to return full time to lead product development.<\/p>\n

He will replace fellow co-founder Evan Williams, who has stepped back from daily involvement with Twitter but will remain on the board.<\/p>\n

The announcement was tweeted by chief executive Dick Costolo who wrote that he was “excited” by the return.<\/p>\n

Mr Dorsey followed up the tweet, saying that he was “thrilled”.<\/p>\n

He says he intends to remain chief executive of a mobile payments service called Square, which is located near Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters.<\/p>\n

“As executive chairman, Jack will dive into work with more than 450 people, led by an experienced executive team,” Twitter said in a company statement.<\/p>\n

“The timing is fortuitous; not only is Twitter experiencing record growth, but we also now have a new infrastructure that will keep us ahead of that growth and enable us to launch products that will make Twitter more instant, simple and always present,” the statement said.<\/p>\n

The move comes at an important time for the information and communications platform.<\/p>\n

Despite the phenomenal take up by around 200 million users, the company faces challenges ahead as it proves itself to be a profitable business.<\/p>\n

Last week Twitter celebrated its fifth birthday. <\/p>\n
