I can't comment any further, my password I signed up with doesn't seem to work, and the password reset feature also appears broken :) I will reserve judgement for now.

"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 t…
Twitter's growth hasn't affected the quality of my Twitter experience at all. I just don't follow people who post crap. Is this a real problem people are having, or is it an invented justification for something they want to see succeed?
But to directly answer your question, I think at this point the only truly honest answer is...
We'll see.

Against Kickstarters TOS. They only allow "creative projects."
I don't think they ever asked KS. A variety of similar projects have been presented and funded there.
I would like to publicly admit my total wrongness and congratulate Dalton on his success with this project. You have won my backing and I'll be there 'apping' with the rest of you guys. This was the somewhat popular but incorrect comment I made previously: http://hackerne.ws/item?id=4278378 Much love. Props.
> I'll be there 'apping' Let's hope this doesn't become a verb. Tweeting is bad enough, but "apping"?

Wait, and your reasoning is that Kickstarter should just "open this one exception"? That'd be like opening a can of worms instead.

Congratulations from me, too! A very impressive result in such a short timeframe. In danger of asking a silly question, I do wonder about this bit though: In the very near future I will ask an impartial 3rd party take a look at our data (while preserving all privacy of our backers) and publicly verify that the join.app.net was operated in an honest manner. I might not be seeing the forest for the trees here, but how…
Since the auditor was reputable and signed a contract to attest the $500k, the auditor would be careful to not divulge any of the sensitive, personally identifiable information.
Congratulations 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.
