This whole thing is a bit of a joke. I especially find it hilarious that they're calling it app.net only because they spent probably a decent sum of money on a 3 letter domain for their (failing?) marketing tools.
App.net as a name makes absolutely no sense (and not like other senseless names like Wii or whatever, but as in it already means something else) and quite frankly I'm shocked that people like Gruber and Marco are on board with this ridiculous bound to fail idea.
Also why on earth they adopted the Kickstarter model instead of the Pinboard.in model is beyond me. Can only imagine they got a lust for instant #swag

The same cannot be said for a social network like app.net. I joined Twitter in September 2006, but I didn't start really using it until December 2006 when some friends and colleagues signed up.
