People are not mocking app.net for not being free. They are mocking it for being a generally silly idea borne of nerd-rage against 'the man' err... Twitter... wait, what?

Yes they are.

They are mocking it because they think it's a privileged network only for people who are willing to pay the grand sum of 50 US Dollars. It was the same story with svbtle. This smug sense of entitlement is frankly disgusting.

I used to follow Dustin Curtis. I liked that each of his blog posts had a unique theme/layout/typography/imagery.

Then once he became popular what does he do? He built svbtle, a blog network of bloggers who all have pages and posts that look identical...

I also avoid the greater-than-thou grouping.
