Twitter Hires Rael Dornfest, Shutters Values of n

Written by Marshall Kirkpatrick / November 24, 2008 4:39 PM / 3 Comments

Twitter just announced on the company blog that the company has acquired the assets of Portland, Oregon based Values of n and brought its well-known engineer founder Rael Dornfest on to the Twitter staff. Dornfest's latest project at Values of n was an anthropomorphized personal assistant service called Sandy.

We're covering the deal in more depth on our new blog about tech company hires Jobwire. Please see our coverage there for more details about what's sure to be a very interesting move.

  2. It's sad to see their services go, Values of n were a cool company.

    In case you want something similar, my company makes Deadline which we launched last week. It's simpler than Sandy but works with mobiles and has an API: http://deadlineapp.com
