The free user invites are cheap. Not sure why they wouldn't do that. Open sourcing the code base is a much larger leap and if they're reluctant to do that then

The free user invites are cheap. Not sure why they wouldn't do that. Open sourcing the code base is a much larger leap and if they're reluctant to do that then I'm reluctant to trust them. Not because everyone should open source technology product but they're essentially saying we should trust them to not do what Twitter did. Business model alone doesn't cut it for me. I've always felt that not open sourcing goes against most of Dalton's arguments with App.net. I also realize open sourcing may kill the project under it's own weight. It's a tough call but I really wish they would do it :).
