Who is and who is not on Gopher
===============================
I am reading Jirka's Phlog because there are many articles about
Palms, and how to use that hardware nowadays. His last article, the
[Pocket Gopher] is mainly about using the Gopher on the go, of course
with a Palm theme. But there is also one interesting thing. I wasn't
aware that the [Cameron Kaiser] has so many projects outside
Gophersphere. When I started to read about the Gopher, I came onto the
"Why is Gopher Still Relevant?" article. Probably it's one of the most
popular article on the Gophersphere now, and it's linked across many
Gopherholes. Then I learned that he is behind all /Floodgap.com/
activities. So he is a very important person in the Gopher world. He
is active, but as I've seen in Jirka's article some of the activities
about Gopher he is describing outside it. The interesting thing is why
he didn't put it on the Gopher.
The second thing which has much buzz about is [Steven Frank;
Co-founder of Panic] Gopherhole. I put info about it firstly on
Usenet. Then I saw information about it in several places, like posts
on Mastodon. One of the causes of putting Panic's presence on
Gophersphere is probably an attempt to interest potential retro-themed
customers, who could be on the Gopher. And looking at one response on
the Mastodon, it could be working. There is also a new Gemini capsule
[Playdate Game Reviews] about games from Panic's handheld. "Nobody
expects the Spanish Inquisition!" So Gophersphere is the platform for
marketing also.
