Considering that I don't know a single real-life person that is on app.net, I wouldn't consider it an alternative to anything.

- swombat 14y agoThe same used to be true of Twitter.
- snowwrestler 14y agoYes but early-days Twitter did not have to compete with current-day Twitter when it was trying to grow.
- anu_gupta 14y agoIt had to compete with general ignorance of its value. Many would argue that's a more difficult hurdle.
- ishansharma 14y agoI know quite a bit of people and common thing between all of them is that they are quite influential. They have been irritated by things like this. And they may convince others to join App.net. Granted that many people will avoid App.net just because you have to pay for it and common internet guy will never realize what Twitter is doing. Still, if even top 10-20% of people who I follow go to App.net, I will follow!
