Actually, I am a tech person, and I like to support App.net. I have not yet seen a reason to use the service.

Ok. This is genuinely the first benefit I have heard about using it. Great. Please elaborate more. (I say this as someone looking for reasons to support App.net.)
- pablasso 14y agoThere's people on App.net that he finds interesting to read, there's nothing to elaborate. I participate a lot less on App.net, but I also find the community quite enjoyable, it looks like twitter circa 2007, mostly with opinionated tech people around.
