"Flush with even more funding, Twitter continues to expand its team.\nThe company announced Tuesday that it has acquired the team at Fluther, Inc. Fluther is kind of like Yahoo! Answers or Quora, but with the ability for question types to be targeted at specific users. The Fluther.com website itself hasn't been acquired, just the five team members behind it.\nTwitter announced the acquisition on its blog and the Fluther team also issued its own statement. Twitter says that the Fluther team members will be focusing on \"helping users discover the most relevant content on Twitter.\" Twitter co-founder Biz Stone is an advisor to Fluther, which seemingly makes this talent acquisition a natural fit.\nThat sort of focus makes a lot of sense. The big differentiating feature between Fluther.com and other question and answer services is in how the service can target questions based on a user's answer history and named interests. In other words, the team has spent some time investing and building a system that aims to connect users with relevant data.\nAlso, while Twitter makes it clear that Fluther.com is not part of the acquisition \u2014 and the Fluther team says it plans to keep the Fluther site running \u2014 we expect to see some Fluther feature trickle into Twitter over time."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
