I watched the video, and I still don't know what app.net is. "Social platform" is all I got, that's extremely vague.
I think that's a good summary: https://alpha.app.net/

Twitter, that you pay for, that has no adverts and that is developer friendly with the API. I think that's a good summary: https://alpha.app.net/

Why would people pay to tell other people what they ate for lunch?
Twitter and Facebook were fun when not everyone and their parents were on there. I'm hoping that the price tag keeps a lot of the people out who don't have anything of value to share. So far, from what I've seen on the alpha site, the conversations are way more interesting to me than most banter on Twitter. The higher limit of 256 characters helps too. I look forward to using App.net, whereas I find the Twitter experience increasingly frustrating.
Why didn't they go with a third party like Kickstarter in the first place?
I'm glad they're going to have someone verify it. It seemed really strange to me that they rolled their own crowd funding platform for one use. Why didn't they go with a third party like Kickstarter in the first place?

> Why aren't you using Kickstarter?
> We wish we could, we <3 Kickstarter. Unfortunately, the Kickstarter Terms Of Service explicitly prohibits raising money for this kind of service.

Social networks live and die by whether your friends are on them, though, and while I get the appeal of "keeping out the riff-raff", I'm having a really hard time swallowing the idea that you can reach critical mass (without which your product will fail) by charging for a product that people are used to getting for free.
If the team can reach critical mass, then awesome. But I think that it's going to be nearly impossible to sell to anyone but the subset of the early-adopter crowd who have a bone to pick with Facebook and Twitter, which is a very passionate, but very limited audience.
