This week Twitter quietly acquired Oregon start-up values of n. It was a simple thing really. Rael Dornfest, the founder of values of n, has accepted a full-time job with Twitter. In the process, their two fairly popular applications: I Want Sandy and Stikkit, are going away as of Dec 8.
So if you’re a loyal user of I Want Sandy, as I know some of you are, it’s time to start looking for a new virtual personal assistant.
According to the Twitter blog:
Today we’re thrilled to announce that Twitter has acquired the assets of Values of n, which include an intelligent sticky-note application as well as a personal productivity application that works over email, SMS, and the Web. Rael has already started adding energy and momentum to the team as a full time Twitter engineer.
Values of n will be shutting down existing products. However, the technology behind the scenes will live on and potentially re-emerge as part of Twitter’s systems, services, user experience, or open source libraries. Nothing specific in this regard is planned but there is some smart work in there by the newest member of our engineering team.
