Dodgeball founders leave google – one to join Area/Code

by Karl on April 15, 2007

Dodgeball founders leave google and that leaves Dodgeball probably dead. Then why did Google buy Dodgeball exactly? Not for the founders…they left. Not for the tech.

UPDATE: They announced this via Flickr

leaving dodgeball

That is crazy, I swear dodgeball is one of the few mobile apps (twitter, jaiku) that i’ve got any value out of. I have the same questions as Kottke, WTF did google buy dodgeball?

Dodgeball IMHO is one of the best “text based interfaces” i’ve interacted with, so simple, so easy, and easily one of the most useful social networking tools. I think we should lobby for google to sell it to Yelp.

Even more interesting to me is that one of the guys is going to join Area/Code, one of the few companies out there developing ARG’s (Alternate Reality Games) and Big Games, I told you that’s going to be big :-)
