How did you discover glitch?
Just thought I'd toss this out before the game goes public,
How did you find out about glitch?
For me, I was watching BBC Click and they mentioned it and the provided a link to the beta tester sign up page, this was a year or so ago.

Same excuse as Gertie :D
and SO glad it happened! - Tech crunch.
- Another ex-FS player here.

Blanky,
For consitency's sake, you may want to put both of these in the same forum
beta.glitch.com/forum/offto... - I heard about it on Massively.com initially but paid it little heed until I learned of KT working on the game. Then it really grabbed my attention.
- Kevin Rose mentioned it a long time ago. Signed up for the beta right away.
- Through techcrunch.com as well.

@Kai, I have been watching instructional videos on Youtube about the Diana Mini cameras. Do you happen to be the same person who made those videos?
I found Glitch through Boingboing.net - It was Memorial Day weekend. I was out of town visiting my mother, and had lunch with my sister, MisAdventure . She couldn't stop talking about this wonderful game, Glitch, that she was playing (we are both game people). She kept gigggling about yoga frogs, talking trees, etc. and I was intrigued. She got me the invite, I joined as soon as I could and I have been hooked ever since.
- DIGGNATION!

@mary
That's cool! I've been trying to get my brother and wife into the game, so far with little success :P -
@Ferond "I found it in a Web search, looking for an MMOG with no fighting." <-- I love that!
My addiction to MetaFilter lead me here! And I am so happy it did. - @shipwreck, I've been trying to get people to join me and no luck either!

We must enlighten them, lala!
Oh, and your name doesn't happen to be for the Katamari cousin Lalala, does it? Perchance? -
Like many people I found my way here through Faunasphere.
- @shipwreck and lala512. I tried to get a friend to join, jumped through hoops to get her an invite, she played once and has never come back. You win some, you lose some, I guess!
- Jason Kottke posted something on kottke.org about the Flickr developers developing a game a long, long time ago. I checked it out and it looked interesting. I signed up for an invite and basically stalked the queue jumping links. Started testing sometime during Alpha.

@shipwreck, my name isn't from Katamari cousin. I wish I was that clever...hahaha
@mary, Yes, some people just don't get this game. My bf said he doesn't like to do "tasks" when he plays video games. I on the other hand love doing tasks. One of my favorite games of all time is Little King's Story. I also love the Harvest Moon series. - I'm another refugee from FS, that darn game broke my heart but I'm glad I found something to fill the hole :-)
- I also came here with the old FS gang. I tried to get my hubby to play FS, but he thought it was lame, but he is totally loving Glitch.
- I found out about glitch from a friend from another online game. he said her was going to start playing it abd I went to the glitch site....signed up...and got an email right away. I have not been able to spend alot of time on here with the tests but I do love it and i cant wait until its on 24/7
- I read about it on TechCrunch when Stewart left Flickr and formed Tiny Speck and announced Glitch.
- @shipwreck et al, while I've been trying to recruit my partner to Glitch, he's been trying to recruit me to Uru. We are fundamentally different types of game players, I think.
- I found out about Glitch from friends on Flickr, who I met in the Game Neverending, which I heard about on Metafilter, years ago.
- Ooloi, I hear goo things about Uru. A guy I played LotRO with is (or has been) making maps for it.
- I feel like I read about it on Laughing Squid way back when, but I can't quite remember.
- I think it was one of my last Stumbles, before I uninstalled that timewaster :)

There's already a thread like this out there.
And just as I said in that thread, I was informed via GayGamer.net. - I'm not going to lie I never even remembered signing up.n I was bored at home and got an e-mail saying that the beta version would be open to me now. I almost deleted the e-mail but decided it was fate and started playing. Best decision I ever made.
- Chance (I mean, Fartenstein) sent me an invite via facebook.
- A couple of my fellow MMORPG-nerd-mates were chatting about it one day in a game we all play. I went to the site and signed up to be a tester. Within hours, another mate on Facebook had queue-jumped me.

I found out by a blog of a gamer, Tobold.
Here is a recent post about the launch (with interesting comments):
Tobolds blog - i found out about it through twitter, a pc gaming site posted a tweet

I found Glitch when a friend of mine from another social MMO game posted something on Facebook about Glitch. I signed up that day, and was able to get in on beta-testing a few days later. This was back in May.
I have barely played that other game since then! - stumble upon
- kotaku
- I found out about it through other writers who write for the same website as I do.
- i saw a trailer for Glitch through IGN.com and i just had to come by and check it out.
- Beau Hindman on Massively wrote a very nice article on it. It's a very cool social game after my first few days. I mean, yes there are some never-do-goodniks, but you'll get a few of those in any game.
- Think I found it through Kotaku and believe me it pains me to say I actually visit that site.
- Heard about it on a gaming news site, possibly The Escapist or Epic Battle Axe, in reference to Keita Takahashi creator of Katamari was working on a new project in social gaming... Glitch. Decided to check it out since Katamari is beautiful madness which I love.
- I saw it on BetaLi.st
- I heard about it on Geeks Are Sexy.
- kottke!
- Eurogamer had a article about it.
- My Katamari friends told me about it. :)
- My friend was googling for something else but made a typo and up popped Glitch. He passed the link to me and I got hooked. lol
- I read about it on RPS: Wot I Think: Glitch
- Several people in the Yuletide IRC chat were talking about it a lot. So, I've been here since last week.
- Geekmom.com had an article.
