Twitter's New Values
0 views
"A short while ago it became clear to Rael that while the innovative personal productivity and information management applications his startup had created were useful products with a loyal following, Values of n was not going to meet its huge expectations as a standalone business,"
That opportunity turned into Twitter's acquisition of Value of n's assets including a sticky-note app and a personal productivity app that is compatible with email, SMS, and the web. Williams notes that Dornfest is already working as a full time Twitter engineer as well. For a litte more info on Values of n, the We always strive to move beyond software that's "cool" or feature-full to software that's transparent and feature-useful: software so elegantly implemented it becomes an extension of the person using it.
You'll see all of this at work in our products, I want Sandy — Your personal email assistant.
Williams says that Values of n's existing products will be terminated, but the technology behind them will "re-emerge" as part of Twitter's own properties. It will certainly be interesting to see what upgrades Twitter gets as a result of this acquisition. Financial terms of the deal have not been revealed.
