• Values of n Blog: A fork in the road
  Rael Dornfest jumps ship for Twitter. His company, Values of n, the creators of web productivity apps Stikkit and I Want Sandy, has also been acquired by Twitter. Both seemed really convenient: email an address where all your contacts/calendar items/notes would be aggregated, and get regular reminders via email/Twitter/Twitter-SMS. But in the end, emailing myself was easier. Still, should be interesting to see where Twitter goes from here.
