App.net Perspective

25 August 2012

Harry Marks brings some much needed perspective to the recent spate of hypocritical ‘App.net is a country club for rich white people’ sensationalising: > Just a reminder: App.net is about making a better, more open Twitter competitor that doesn’t rely on ads to generate revenue. It was NOT designed as a way to keep poor people and minorities from using social networking tools. And if you do see App.net as a shift toward a “race war” or a “class war” on the Internet, please turn off your computer, call your ISP, and disconnect your service. Your privileges have been revoked.
