This is the first story I've heard in months on this website. Who's using it? Has anything meaningful happened behind its paywall? Is there anything at all besi

  There has been a lot going on in the past year for the service: * Free tier of accounts. Limited to following 40 people, limited file storage * Multiple microblogging clients on just about every platform * 2FA and messages, files, search, and geolocation APIs It isn't just a "gimped facebook clone", the App.net service is a framework for developers to build a multitude of social networks on top of a single platform. The microblogging aspect was just the easiest "get" for them out of the gate. You can look at their One Year post [0] if you want to see a list of everything that they've implemented.
