Plug plug plug plug

Well, today I learned that I’m finally featured in the Apple ad:

Now I’ll forever be “working out”.
And lest we think this is only about me, check out our very own richardhenry’s NSFW site, cursebird. A brilliant idea, if you ask me.

iPhone avatars and notifications…

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

This will be really quick since I’m running on not-a-lot-of-sleep… I’ll be writing a full story on the epic server migration that was done last night.
I made some tweaks to the notify server yesterday, but she’s sending out _way_ too many emails. Sorry about that! I’ll try to get that fixed today.
Also, the avatar hiccup […]

Introducing…Erik!

Friday, March 21st, 2008

We’ve been trying to keep it secret for quite a while now, but many of you have already figured it out:
Superstar Fluther member sferik (Erik Michaels-Ober) is now part of the Fluther Team! Andrew and I are thrilled to have him on board and we’re looking forward to sharing countless late nights, brainstorming sessions, and […]

How can we make Fluther better as we grow?

Monday, March 10th, 2008

First, I want to give thanks to the community. When Ben and I started talking about Fluther in 2006, we never imagined that we’d have such a vibrant community so quickly. So, thank you to our amazing, intelligent, curious, and open-minded users for making Fluther such a wonderful, entertaining place.
I also want to apologize […]

Thus begins the great purge…

Friday, March 7th, 2008

We’re still listed as the top webapp on Apple’s social networking site, and the flow of new users doesn’t seem to be slowing.
I’ve refined our question removal tools, added more warning text to the iPhone site, and will be updating our guidelines.
We’ll be adding search to the iPhone shortly.
That said: we’re going to be really […]

Stemming the tide…

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

As you can see, we’ve quintupled our activity in the span of a few days. As I’ve blogged about before, our signal-to-noise ratio has gone down a bit.
We’ve been removing the most inane and childish questions, but many of the “low quality” questions are simply new users who are just trying out the site with […]

Apple gives us some iPhone lovin’

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Wow–our little iPhone app just got prominently featured on Apple’s webapps page. This will make today another big one, full of fresh faces!
Welcome new users! We hope you like our knowledge collective, and abide by our community guidelines. Let us know if you have any feedback.
And to all you venerable Fluther users, thanks for the […]

Add Fluther to your iPhone

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

I’ve added an icon for the new iPhone firmware update (thanks to Dan Dickinson), so add Fluther to your home screen:

Navigate to http://www.fluther.com on your iPhone
Tap the plus sign at the bottom of the screen
Choose “Add to Home Screen”
Fluther with one finger!

Express yourself.

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

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 […]

Ask anything, anywhere! (Fluther on your iPhone).

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

“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 talented people […]
