So many words to say so little. What is this about? Is it closer to app.net or to OwnCloud? Why would I choose this over Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Blogger or Medium?

All I took away from from the page was the color codes for if I want to advertise for them, whoever it/they is/was/plans to be.

It said "All you have to do is just write." so I started typing something and it didn't do anything.

I came to the comments to see if somebody could explain what this thing is about. Seems like I'm not the only one not getting it...

Feedback for the author: your marketing copy needs to explain clearly what your product does.

Ah, it's a cross between Twitter and tumblr. Looks to have a stream of threaded conversations

Made me wonder about a Twitter-style social network where you were the only human, and you knew it. Those that gradually followed and interacted with you were all bots mimicking humans, but for once not spamming or with an ulterior motive. Your content would never be seen by anyone else.

The bots would arrive to compliment, question and challenge you.

Would people care that they weren't real? Outside of the friends we know on Twitter now, do we know which of the rest are definitely real anyway?

Sounds a bit crazy, but just wondering if people will reach a point where they interact with bots and don't care if they give them what they want in terms of attention and validation.
