I feel the same way about it. It's always felt like more of a concept than an actual product or service to me. Even the home page is really vague: "App.net is Your Passport to Great Applications"--what does that even mean?

I have friends who use App.net and love it, but I don't think I'll be jumping on board because I just haven't been convinced that I need it.

I was a member from the first day.. and then cancelled after about 6 months because after trying to force myself to 'get it' I still didn't know what I was meant to be doing with it

Why did you cancel after six months although you had paid for a year?
