They bought Values of N a while back, so this makes at least two companies with top-tier product design chops brought into the fold. I'm a fan of the twitter web UI, and I think they've done a good job with their feature set so far, but I wonder when or if we're going to start seeing stuff that's more than just tweaking the basic model coming out of these talent acquisitions.
- tonystubblebine 16y agoI think we have seen things. Twitter's semblance of stability comes directly from the Summize acquisition. And I think Rael from Values of N was behind lists. Dabble DB though seems like it was acquired for backend analytics (according to the blog post).
- jfager 16y agoAt the risk of setting off a pointless semantics wrangling session, iwantsandy and dabbledb were/are both great products that never got the attention they deserved. I think it's hard to make the case that lists (while nice) are in the same ballpark - they fall under the 'tweak' category to me.
