I was just wondering if Ben and Andrew left fluther for twitter. I haven’t seen any activity from them, and would be extremely disappointed in them if they did abandon all of us.

Apparently, they were acquired by Twitter.

@XOIIO – they didn’t, they come back now and then.

They have less time for us, but they didn’t abandon us. If they had abandoned us, we wouldn’t be here now

Wouldn’t you take an opportunity to better yourself if it was presented to you?

They didn’t abandon us….they were captured in a hideous trap

@coffeenut agreed.

They could at least stop in more often to let us know they are still around.

I’m in contact with them pretty regularly, and they’re still working on the site in their free time. They pop in when they can.

Do they literally make a ’POP’ noise when they appear?

We do work at Twitter, but we also retain control of Fluther.

@ben: That’s great to hear. I’m glad for ya.

Twitter’s founder was on Fresh Air recently and I thought of you guys. His perspective was great. Gave me a new found respect for Twitter.

@jonsblond Actually, they could abandon Fluther and we could still all be here for years until the domain name registration expired. Or a catastrophic software error occurred.

@mrentropy Yes. I should have left the second sentence out. ;)
