App.net project update #1

I cannot imagine anyone having any emotional buy in for your proposal until you've came up with explicit use cases that are today not possible with Twitter.

I think Twitter as a product sucks, this is why I use TweetBot. I agree it is tedious having to do two step authentication for 3rd party clients, but i do that once.

Most consumers are driven by those celebrity-gossip services that silicon valley entrepreneurs roll their eyes at. Twitter simply peeled back the mystery (reason #34324 why Twitter is amazing) about what people talk and think about most of the time.

What are you going to do when TweetBot is shutdown?

if that were to happen, I'd use a different client: because the content trumps the user experience.

Out of curiosity, why don't you currently use the official Twitter app for iOS?

the level of craftsmanship on Tweetbot delights me to no end. Also being able to see which of my tweets have been retweeted. But mainly it just feels like the most beautiful and polished piece of software ever.
