@brennannovak Do you know those guys? Are they trying to build a new twitter or something?

@brennannovak @ablaze @daltonc Why not build off of StatusNet? Seems like the problem has largely been solved by them already.

@brennannovak I guess I don't see the decentralization/federation in app.net's proposal.

@aaronpk @brennannovak Okay, so it's a realtime feed IAAS-type thing with a social network as a facade. I'm not seeing #indieweb relevance…?

@brennannovak @BarnabyWalters I guess I don't see the app•net :: git analogy, it seems like they are just making a proprietary service.
