#2Did Svbtle change its font recently? The text looks terrible. It's blurry, poorly aliased and some of the letters have full-out gaps in the strokes.
When viewed in Windows, of course.

#3Congratulations!! Incredibly excited, still waiting for that killer app.
EDIT: I purchased it weeks ago, but you get the idea...

Many web fonts seem to look bad on Windows, I think in part due to many websites being designed on Macs. This one looks particularly bad on Chrome, but Firefox isn't so bad.

Yes, it used to be Proxima Nova served with Typekit.

#6Congratulations to Dalton and the entire team at App.net! They deserve every penny.
Dalton's steely resolve through this entire process has been an inspiration to me; it takes a lot of guts to go out on a limb and ignore all the haters. Even if App.net as a platform doesn't take off I still consider this project a success.

I think they must have done, I also don't remember it looking so bad before.
Seeing quite a few sites and blogs now getting a bit careless with CSS @font-face rules and seemingly not bothering to test their sites in Windows.

Ah, thanks for the info, perhaps they should switch back. Looks like they went home-brew to save cash (or to be more unique). Seems wrong to have to use the Readability bookmarklet to read a Svbtle blog!

#9I watched the video, and I still don't know what app.net is. "Social platform" is all I got, that's extremely vague.
Re: Dalton Caldwell: We Did It
#10Bets on how soon someone will imitate this approach to the platform business in other areas?
