App.net and Hacker News: A love story
I'd love to hear people's thoughts on why people on HN will read and upvote literally (as far as I can tell) any story about app.net.
Is it
A. People really do yearn for people to pay for their software
B. People love a good story, and since nothing has REALLY happened with app.net (besides getting crowd-funded) people want to add to the currently compelling narrative
or
C. Something else
Thoughts?
- wingfield 14y agoDevelopers are displeased with Twitter (especially after yesterday) and happy to have an alternative that's off to a good start. Competition is good.
- tomasien 14y agoAgreed, but have you seen HN lately? It's 100% app.net stuff! I agree it's got huge upside, but to be the only thing people want to talk about? Slow news day maybe?
