Wasn't there some "Twitter alternative" launched by someone who used HN? Its entire business model was to bill users. I can't remember the name of it, or the founder, but I think the service failed to gain traction.

edit: The service was/is App.net, and it was founded by Dalton Caldwell. It used to make the rounds on HN all the time.

It was a good idea, but the execution was ridiculous.
