Having some good discussions on usability and product/market fit and it's making me really wish I'd tried this out with my "professional" handle instead of my personal one. C'est la vie.

I've been here for about an hour and I'm already wishing for a centralized directory of users. How does anyone find people to follow?

So, honest question, though: who pays for all of this? Where does the money for servers/bandwidth/etc come from? I love the idea of a social network without the moral risk of ad funding, but not if it simply isn't sustainable and is going to collapse in on itself in a matter of time.

Whelp, I've been saying for a while that I needed a Twitter replacement with a good moral foundation...let's see if this is it.
