Comment by Illniyar 9 years ago For those not in the know, what was app.net? 4 comments Illniyar Reply myhf 9 years ago Twitter for $50/year Illniyar 9 years ago So a social network? weird name for a social network. transitorykris 9 years ago It wasn't meant to be just a stand alone social network/twitter clone.
