This sucks, another web app comes out; tells the world use me & develop for me, now f* off.
Now they are punishing everyone because they can't figure out how to make money by magic or ads.
I'm not arguing that it is a smart move to create a company on top of someone else's single purpose platform, but now they are going after the users.
Try charging for a change. 172 million active users x 10c a day = $516,000,000 mo, that's 3 bucks a month, yes most won't pay, but you can't really expect to make more than 1/2 billion dollars a month with micro blogging. And you can also charge a fair fee for developers, per API usage, you could probably double up the revenue.
With this very basic math, you don't need to cripple the user experience to place ads customers don't want to see.
I hope app.net get’s it right, it’s unlikely but would be great. I’ve supported it.
