Why don't people who donated to app.net at least get an account to use the service? They paid $50 and they don't even get an account? In a way, by paying $50 or more, they are committing themselves to pay an unknown, perhaps greater amount to actually use app.net.
$50 is a lot of money. Why don't funders get an account?
- wmf 14y agoAs the site says, the $50 is pre-paying for an account.
- chimi 14y agoAm I reading it incorrectly? It says, "You'll be committing to prepaying for a full year of 'member-level' service." That doesn't sound like, "You get a year of service."
- aggronn 14y agoIts assumed that thats what it means. I think a lot of people would be asking for a refund if we were wrong though.
- tlogan 14y agoAre you sure? Can somebody confirm this?

- bobbles 14y agoYou pay $50. Email them asking for alpha access. They give you the account. $100+ accounts are for developers & access to APIs.
- jamiecurle 14y agoThey do. If you've donated you just have to ask for access to the alpha. They're pretty snappy at responding too. They took less than five hours to activate me on Sunday.
- fredoliveira 14y agoI have an account. It was setup in under 10 minutes.
- losvedir 14y ago> Why don't people who donated to app.net at least get an account to use the service? What do you mean? I paid the $50 and now I have an account. There was an email a week or so ago talking about the launch of Alpha which said to let them know if you want to log in. I replied saying I backed them and would like to log in, and they set me up. Maybe that was a one-off thing? In any case, it's pretty slick and I'm happy to be on it.
