I don't think this project will work due to several inherent economic factors. If I understand correctly app.net takes a free service (twitter, fb) has removed the best features of those services and then wants to charge money for that product. Dalton has put himself in the position of a reverse browser war which doesn't seem very viable to me.
- debacle 14y agoCan you explain what you mean by 'reverse browser war?'
- 2arrs2ells 14y agoDuring the browser wars, web browsers went from paid software to free. Dalton is trying to do the reverse by turning social networking streams into a paid service.
- nicksergeant 14y agoWell, somebody has to do something, right? He's just trying something.
- k-mcgrady 14y agoWhy does somebody have to do something? Twitter has made some controversial moves recently but the only people they've really annoyed are developers. Users have had no major problems. Why would tens of millions of people start paying for something they already get free and like? I think that this project is a response to the developer community Twitter has annoyed but there is no real market for it. A quick look at how little backing it's got shows that it isn't really needed.
