The Fluther Blog

Today was Fluther’s biggest day! It’s always exciting to have a new influx of fresh users — we just didn’t expect you to all come a-knockin’ at once. Yesterday, Webware wrote a great story which listed Fluther as one of the best designed sites of 2007. It was humbling to be listed next to some […]

I’m proud to finally announce the availability of Fluther T-Shirts! By popular demand, you can now show off your Fluther pride as you walk down the street. We’re partnering with GoodStorm, an SF-based T-Shirt company that makes high quality prints on American Apparel. Sounds pretty sweet. Looks pretty sweet, too. Enjoy the threads.

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.

Shortly after you post them, you can click on “Edit this discussion” in the lower right-hand corner of your new question, or on “Edit this response” in your newly-minted response and you’ll be able to make changes! Happy editing!

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. 🙂
