> If Caldwell actually cared about making "a real-time social service where users and developers come first, not advertisers" he'd build something on status.net, or at least something open source.

I disagree.

When making a business, your paying customer is the one you serve. If App.net goes for charging users and developers, they'll (logically) focus on those exact people.



I disagree with your disagreement. Caldwell just wants to make money (and the glory) Nothing wrong with that. I want to make money too first and foremost :)


Hah!

I'm more disagreeing with the notion that a product can't be for users/developers if he is charging them for it.

There is of course nothing wrong with making money :D
