OP is missing the point. I don't think App.net is going out to be a Twitter replacement. I don't think App.net requires the critical mass or wide spread popularity that Twitter enjoys.
Its a niche product that is serving a very particular purpose. I wish that some blogger or journalist would try to evaluate App.net on what its setting out to be, not comparing it to Twitter.
At the end of the day, App.net will be a paid service. It's not fair to compare it to Twitter. There is some overlap, but for the most part this is a different market segment.
