00:54	pdurbin	The code is open source: https://github.com/appdotnet via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App.net
00:55	pdurbin	"It’s the time for Twitter and the rest of the socialsphere to make good on what the App.net community wanted from the beginning — user-first social networks."

11:43	prologic	Interesting
11:48	prologic	I see
11:49	prologic	Looks like they were rather "special" in the sense that they wrote/used their own protocols rather than any open standards
11:49	prologic	You sort of also get the impression they didn't really have clear goals either
11:53	prologic	Anyway... I'd encourage you to create a micro.blog account :D
12:04	pdurbin	Good point. I don't think they used standards.
12:37	prologic	doesn't seem so according to "history"
12:37	prologic	but I neve rknew about it back then (must have missed it)
12:59	pdurbin	A lot of Mac fans seemed to use it. Or at least I get hearing about it on Mac-related podcasts.
