Smallthought Systems bought by Twitter

The Smallthought Systems company which is known for dabbledb.com (an online data tool written in Smalltalk using Seaside) was acquired by Twitter today.

Interesting, looks like dabbledb.com service continues but does not allow new registrations and Avi (who is also the creator of the original Seaside framework) is now working for Twitter in the Twitter's analytics team. Either he will now switch to Ruby again or we can expect Twitter services driven by Smalltalk in the future. Who knows ...
