    http://App.net  is not ‘going free’. It’s going freemium. Very different model. Don’t confuse the two.

        @aral http://app.net  going freemium sounds like a death throe to me. Suddenly "critical mass" gets rammed home to them.

        @aral like those who only follow big names and then whine that there’s noone on there. *sighs*

        @aral and the features of a free account are very limited. Though I worry if they follow 40 inactive users, they’ll whine.

        @aral it’s not even really freemium as there’s only 3 invites per existing user, and that’s it.

        @laurakalbag Well, I had three invites yesterday, which I used. This morning I got 5 new invites to use. Wondering what the limit is… @aral

        @aral yeah I’m glad they’re not going free. currently they still have a business model. free would mean they don’t have any.
