App.net launched with flying colours last year.

It has seen a steady growth, and has since introduced a monthly plan, reduced its subscription price — it was $50/year at launch, and [debuted a free tier yesterday](http://blog.app.net/2013/02/25/introducing-a-free-tier/).

Thanks to [@davids](https://alpha.app.net/davids) for the invite. And you can follow me as[ @portfolio](https://alpha.app.net/portfolio) and join the lively community there.
