The Fluther Blog

We periodically get requests for feature improvements from you. Those little things that nag you, they nag us too, and we love when you alert us so we can fix something. So, much to our satisfaction, we’ve zapped a few of those minor annoyances: Removing “Questions for you” happens asynchronously (making it fast). You can […]

Big props to mirza! After a user asked about a Fluther blog widget, he went and made one. You can see it on his blog, Ziked. It uses a cool tool Internet scraping tool called dapper, which I hadn’t seen before. Clever. It’s great to see our users building stuff out of Fluther. Remember, we […]

In the midst of a busy August, Andrew and I have made it easier to _express_ *yourself* on Fluther. Here’s the whole story. We’re using the nifty conventions of Textile, because we’re huge fans of reusing good ideas (in some ways, that’s the essence of Fluther). We’ve also had a chance to fix a few […]

I have some good news for everyone in the Fluther collective. We’ve just made Fluther smarter. I’m sure many of you (especially the old-timers), have noticed you were getting lots of “Questions for you”… many of which seemed like they weren’t “for you”. Sorry about that. In the midst of our exciting launch, we had […]

Check out Fluther popping up in this article about emoticons in the Sunday New York Times (go to page 2, near the end). Also, props to elliotcable, whose great answer got quoted. We’re finally fit to print. Feels pretty good. 🙂

—–UPDATE—– Thanks everyone for submitting to the T-Shirt contest. Due to design constraints, we were unable to use any of your awesome submissions. Don’t worry, you can still buy a Fluther Tee from our new Fluther Store. More importantly, we’re thinking of lots of new ways to give away Fluther Tees. Thanks again to all […]

“Veni, vidi, vici.”- We dreamed it, we designed it, we built it. Okay, maybe it’s not an exact translation, but you get the idea: We made an iPhone version of Fluther. So for all those hip iPhone users, go to iphone.fluther.com and start playing. Yes, I had an awesome weekend at iPhoneDevCamp… meeting tons of […]

I knew it was serious when the New York Times, a pillar of journalism, started putting out ridiculous iPhone videos. It made me think, “What the hell is going on with everybody?” That is, until I saw one myself. Yes, the iPhone-hype is making me weary. But it is a surprisingly slick device that you […]

Hello World! Andrew and I have been itching to start blogging for a while now, but with the site up and running last week, we finally got the chance. Ah, a soapbox. We’ll tell you all about our technology, strategies, blunders, and musings. We’ve learned a lot in a year, but I suspect we’re about […]
