People are not mocking app.net for not being free. They are mocking it for being a generally silly idea borne of nerd-rage against 'the man' err... Twitter... wait, what?
- moron 14y agoYes, they are. The entire premise of this stupid god damn thing is that everyone who joined app.net just wanted to shout to the world that we have $50 to spend. Well, I'd also like to shout to the world that whoever made this is a killjoy and an idiot.
- neebz 14y agoYes they are. They are mocking it because they think it's a privileged network only for people who are willing to pay the grand sum of 50 US Dollars. It was the same story with svbtle. This smug sense of entitlement is frankly disgusting.
- foxhop 14y agoI used to follow Dustin Curtis. I liked that each of his blog posts had a unique theme/layout/typography/imagery. Then once he became popular what does he do? He built svbtle, a blog network of bloggers who all have pages and posts that look identical... I also avoid the greater-than-thou grouping.
