I was invited to join the beta, being an aunt of of of the founders. I also brought some gravitas to balance out the youngsters. Alas, that no longer seems effective…
honestly…the iPhone web application website.
I came for the freak and stayed for the food. Yar.
Seriously, though, I learned about it via an iPhone app list or something similar in August of 2007. I was hooked by the quality of the community and the fact that I got to exhaust a list of questions that I’d been carrying around for many, many years.
Oh… apparently the “velvety design” appeals to me as well.
same as kevbo-back in October, I found it as one of the early links on AppList. Been hooked ever since :)
I saw something about it on a friend’s twitter status…so I went to check out the website not really knowing what it was about…and here I am. :-)
i was doing a google search (by asking a question) and one of the question threads came up in the results. i clicked the link. and i signed up so i could ask that googled question. never got answered, but i had more questions and i was hooked.
I actually found fluther in december 06 because of a random google search. I was making up words and then googling them. Found fluther, loved the idea. Been here since.
I found it through my iPhone, but stayed because I realized this was the forum I had been looking for… forever.
Recommendation from someone who brought one of the posts’ content to another site.
I was invited by a friend about a month or two ago. When I saw howawesome it was, I decided to stick around.
Found the site via Apple, sometimes everything clicks, design, ease of use, wealth of knowledge…the site is just brilliant. I’m sure it is soon to be a verb like google, xerox and tivo.
From Daring Fireball. But stayed when I found out that the person playing Moe in Veronica Mars (Andrew McCain) the TV show I actually started using it and getting into it. How often does a cool TV actor work on a totally cool Web 2.0 site?!
The cool guy is cool Andrew *Mcclain and yes, he is totally cool.
Bah. Sorry Andrew! Thanks, gailcalled. The one time I forgo the copy-paste…
Read about it in the New York Times.
iPhone web app site considered it after seeing it as a staff pick. I check it out when I have free time. The community is great.
have lost my compagnons in life and thought this might me a good place to share ideas and questions… Maybe pretend someone is talking to me…
Some Blog post about great design turned up on Digg, I visited the site and joined up!
I was doing a google search on Tongan Terriers after watching the movie the Dog Problem, and ended up here. It looked pretty cool so I signed up.
I was going to say “probably because of some web 2.0 article”, but bluemukaki’s answer brings it back: “ome Blog post about great design turned up on Digg, I visited the site and joined up!”
That’s pretty funny scamp
My boyfriend told me I should join….lol
<3
I was actually browsing the the Fluid icons group on Flickr and I saw the icon and thought it looked cool! Curious as I am, I went on and found that it was an alternative to Yahoo answers which frankly I really don’t like and would be happy to see a similar community like it, only better. And this was it!
@Magnus-great to have you here-I’ll try not to think of you as the “beach ball of death” :)
@sndfreQ; not only the “bouncing bbod”, but Magnus’ mother tongue is Norwegian. How depressing.
I have this extraordinarily annoying co-worker wh… oh, wait, I mean, he’s totally cool and I’m so glad he got me addicted to this! ;)
Google searching “apple logo sticker hackintosh”... wanted to know if the rumors were true. Loved the site, just joined. Hello, world!
I think I just Googled something and Fluther came up. Also, I thought I might try and get more, mature, serious answers here than on some other Q and A sites.
was saying good-by to a few AB friends on the site and one of the e-mailed me to come over and check the site out, so here I am.
