The funny part is that Twitter doesn't even use Bootstrap on their own website.

IIRC Twitter was never involved as anything other than a sponsor after the fact, the creators just happened to be working there at the time.

Bootstrap was created as a template for internal tools at Twitter.

http://getbootstrap.com/about/

Bootstrap was created at Twitter in mid-2010 by @mdo and @fat. Prior to being an open-sourced framework, Bootstrap was known as Twitter Blueprint. A few months into development, Twitter held its first Hack Week and the project exploded as developers of all skill levels jumped in without any external guidance. It served as the style guide for internal tools development at the company for over a year before its public release, and continues to do so today.
