What about Google Hangouts (preloaded) and Skype (going to be preloaded in Windows Phone 8)? Why single out FaceTime on the iPhone?

Good point. But remember, the 8% is presumably using third-party apps and not seeing ads now anyways. They would be willing to pay to continue to use the third-party apps ad-free.

Why do you think Twitter won't even make the option available for users to pay for the service?

What if Twitter let us pay? Let's do some Twitter maths.(virtualpants.com)

Especially a bad policy because some of the business data associated with the photos is wrong. So, just because I don't want to associate a photo with a restaurant means the location data is deleted.

They should do it to make users happy. I'd like to be able to more easily use apps like Sparrow and Chrome, but it's tough when they can't be set as the default.

Developers will need to be paid somehow. Absent revenue sharing directly from App.net, that means it will have to come directly from users or from ads. Unfortunately, users usually choose ads.

Will services built using App.net be better for users? I think it's up to them.(virtualpants.com)

Haha, very true. That's why it isn't working. The initial price needs to be much lower to reach their goal. Over time, as the service grows, I think $50 is eventually a fair price. But, way too much for a fledgling service with unclear bene

I think better marketing towards regular users instead of developers would help to explain many of these questions. They really need to explain to people what value app.net is going to add and why it is better than the free, ad-funded, alte

I think $50 is fair for a yearly subscription to a service such as Twitter, which has no other source of revenue. I spend way more time on Twitter per day than watching Netflix and Netflix costs almost twice as much per year. The article ad

It’s a shame people are so averse to paying for anything online. For $2-4 a month, they could ultimately get a much better experience on a social network over the long term. Mind you, people spend lots of time, sometimes hours a day, on the

True. I think it is probably too expensive for most people, especially since it isn't built yet.

I was really hoping this would really gain traction. Can you think of any other reasons for the slow campaign?

I think the article said the 140 character limit is only removed for DMs. Regular tweets stay the same.

That's true. It doesn't have to be Twitter. join.app.net would be a better alternative if it could pick up some momentum.

How is Twitter offering a shorter, simpler, socially-integrated version of email any different than Gmail or Hotmail?
57.
by jharrier 14y ago
It's a good replacement for personal email. Corporate email would probably need to stay the same.

by jharrier 14y ago
Shorter, easy to remember, identity. No need to build social integration into email because it's already there?

Marco's follow-up post is only technically correct because he uses words like "most", "many", "probably", and "nearly". In fact, do a Google search for "most many probably nearly" and his post is #6! He should have just stood by his words.
