Ever had an idea? One you were so excited about you wondered who else might find it interesting and how you might be related to each other?

That desire to follow ideas around the world and meet like-minded friends of friends was the catalyst for Fyreball.

Starting out as a global game of pass-it-on, Fyreball evolved into a rich, playful alternative to email and instant messaging; it's the cushiest way to put together the richest blog page imaginable and blast it to some or all of your friends in seconds.

Who's behind this?

The idea came to Pete Parsons in the middle of the night sometime in 2006. You see, Pete doesn't sleep very much; at night, he finds all sorts of obscure online miscellanea, which he promptly sends along to his friends.

For some time, he'd been thinking that email and instant messaging, while great for their intended purposes, were terrible to send content online with friends. Wouldn't it be fun if one could see their content, or really, their ideas, as they spread around the world, traveling from one friend to another?

By the time the sun rose that morning, Pete had a write-up ready to share with his buddy Jordan Weisman.

Jordan, a serial entrepreneur and famed game designer, quickly latched on to the idea and encouraged his friend to make it happen.

Early 2007, Pete brought together Jordan, Michael Evans and Michel Bastien (two long-time friends he'd worked with previously at Bungie Studios) and together, they began work on Fyreball, building it into something they now use everyday as their primary way to share online content with each other and their friends.

There's still plenty to do as we continue to build Fyreball but we're excited that you're taking a moment to check us out! Hopefully, you'll like it and either way, we'd love to hear from you. Enjoy!
