Incredible PR coup by the App.Net team to get people talking so much about them.
"Facebook is “selling my personal information” to Walmart. Facebook is selling the privilege of having Facebook send ads to me."

think you left out a word here

lots of words that could have simply been the last paragraph.

Of course, G+ isn't really a ghost town - it just isnt' anything like facebook. The only valid point is that app.net probably won't succeed - though I disagree that it won't change anything.

I think, as someone pointed out a few days ago, that app.net will convince more startups to start thinking about charging from the get go as opposed to being free to build up critical mass.
