I have no doubt that their product will be nice. However, unless they get gobs and gobs of users, the value of the product will be significantly diminished.
Obviously, a world where millions pay for App.net is great. They thrive as a business, users get a good network without ads. But that's unlikely to happen.
That $500 phone wouldn't have sold if a competing phone that people viewed as indistinguishable and that everyone already used were free.
