They frame the benefits of their platform with too much ideology and too little practicality.
Developers can be very ideological, but when it comes to spending money, even we have to be somewhat practical.
The question in my mind, when I looked at their website, was "What can I build with this?" That's a question that should be answered by their pitch.
It would be a much more convincing pitch if they listed a few example application ideas and discussed the role that app.net would play in the implementation.
But as it stands, I can't really see what architectural pain point is solved by join.app.net, that couldn't be better solved by existing solutions like RSS, that are far less expensive to host.
