Matt Gemmell on App.Net and Conversation
Matt Gemmell has an excellent post on the community that has built up around App.Net and why he'd like you to consider joining.
The practical effect, which I notice daily, seems to be that people are more willing to participate in conversations, and also more careful about how they express themselves. Such a broad generalisation has no hope of being true for everyone, but it’s been my consistent perception during the months I’ve been using the service.
