> What can I do on app.net that I cant do on twitter? What part of the experience do they beat Twitter on? Build or use your own app without worrying about hit

  But Im not planning on building my own app. So the value I get for paying 50/year is empowering app developers?

    I also said use. The primary thing I dislike about Twitter is that they now limit apps to 100K tokens. This past weekend Falcon Pro, the Twitter client I use, reached the limit and is now unable to offer it to additional users. This also impacts me as a user because the official Twitter apps have special privileges that third party apps do not. I believe this is why third party apps do not support push notifications.

  That's a limitation for people who build apps, not for the users. And it's not even that, it's a limitation for people who build apps and expect to scale them quite a bit, which, given the crowded space, doesn't really happen by accident. This has pretty much no influence on users. It might slower the innovation a bit, but it's not like there's much innovation happening there to begin with..

  So now you have your own app with which you can follow nobody.
