What prompted you to actually join fluther.com?

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…

I found this place because of a thread on metatalk.

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.

Hey!! I clicked the link you posted about the apple web app thingy, and the top question shown on the iphone is mine!! I guess that’s my claim to fluther fame!!

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

Twitter and why not?

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 go on insanely great tees and i saw the fluther shirt there with a link to fluther

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.
