Dorsey has served as interim CEO for the past three months,
after former Dick Costolo stepped down on July 1.
Dorsey will remain the head of fast-growing mobile payments
company Square, potentially setting up a conflict of interests
for the co-founder of both companies.
Twitter previously said the CEO job would be a full-time
position, which seemed to exclude Dorsey as long as he continued
to run Square.
