I was/am a member at another community (not Askville :D). One day someone asked what other question asking communities there were, and Fluther came up. I came, I saw, and I was conquered.
I came across Fluther while stumbling using the “stumble upon” application for the Firefox and Flock web browsers.
I was on another question and answer site, a bunch of people got suspended for no real reason, so the came here until the punishment was up. I stayed here. (A few others stayed as well.)
I saw a screen shot on the Fluid website of a dock with a bunch of fluid apps and I was like what the eff is that jellyfish icon and below the screen shot it said Fluther so I came here and was in awe!
I was suspended from another site, and the kind members (Marissa) and mods here welcomed me and gave me a place to sit down! I don’t answers a lot of questions – I feel kinda old here, but I lurk around a lot!
Mirza told me about it at a philosophy symposium.
Another user that is a friend in real life told me about it. I checked it out and have been using fluther since then.
I saw a link to an article about Fluther (I think it was on Threadless.com )...read the article, popped over to the site, and now I practically live here.
Dammit!
@buster: Just out of curiosity, does your friend still use Fluther? Does s/he love it as much as you do?
I read about it in the Brown Alumni Magazine.
@ Augustian: My friend is the user Bulbatron 9. He used to be on here a lot. He recently had a baby daughter and has bought a home that he has been working on. He hasn’t been on much since then.
My favorite sister Gimmedat turned me on to it.
I was doing research on Google for my science fair, and then I started playing with Google search engine because I was bored and came to this website. I was searching for “what is your favorite Mario character?” and I found this one. The first sign of Fluther for me. Then, I said “i want to ask that question!” (I had no idea about the details of fluther) so then I made an account and got let in on what it was. There is my story. Now i am an avid Fluther customer.
It was the first day of a spring Ultimate frisbee league. I asked my new teammate what he did for work. He said he co-founded this internet start-up where you could ask any question you wanted and get good answers. His name is Ben.
I found out about fluther through Twitter!
some of my friends were following the Twitter homepage of Fluther so I checked it out, and it seemed cool. :)
Who are your friends here, seekingwolf?
I don’t know what their accounts are here yet.
They could have just been following for the questions, I have no idea!
I’ll ask :D
