The million year old blog
12 Mar
And I am not the least bit surprised. After all, we all saw this coming… didn’t we.
About a year ago I came across Evri. After I played around with it a bit and did some inspection, I realized it was simply not interesting. It doesn’t do anything special that hasn’t already been covered by another 10,000 more complete and useful services out there.
With everything that went down with Twine in the past year, it was predicted by a lot of people that I spoke with, that Twine.com had pretty much always been for sale, if you catch my drift. The only thing is, I guess a part of me was always hoping that some big cool company would come along and acquire Twine, and perhaps that way Twine would finally be made into what it was originally supposed to be [or at least what the pitch was!].
Well, the Radar Networks finally got bought today. Twine.com finally got owned today, and as a result we now have a combination of 2 completely lame projects. On one hand I find this very disappointing. On the other hand, I find it very laughable. =P What I find even more amusing, is the little “Evri + Twine” logo that they’ve stuck on the top of the Twine pages. It looks to me like it’s saying “here’s how you know we have successfully made a bloody mess of things”.
I can not believe where Twine started, and where it is now, truly and finally, ending….

Fully agree–although JDL and Francois may not. Sad to see such a promising platform dissolve like an ice cube in the desert. And that logo combination? OMG–talk about what not to wear with those shoes…
I also find it somewhat amusing to read the former CEO's commentary on the path (and ultimate demise) of Twine. A rather milk-toast glossing over of some of the events that transpired. Part of me can't help but wonder what could have happened had they made some different decisions and performed some different actions along the way.
Too bad it's not like a video game where you can mark a save point, play for a bit, make a mistake, and go back for a re-try.
Game Over.

oh–and you need to update your logo column on the right here. Should that become "My Evri" now?
(funny how 'evri' and 'evil' look somewhat similar, huh?)
Haha.. yeah I totally have to get rid of the Twine icon on my sidebar… good point! =))
