What was App.net?

App.net was a social network. It started up in mid-August 2012 and ceased operating at 2017-03-17-06:45UTC. The strengths of that network, however small individually, are being built on by its ex-users. What follows is intended to provide a snapshot of what was. For the dynamic updates on the successor networks, see the wikis mentioned below.

Links to my wikis for its successors:

• 10centuries.org Wiki - a complete social and media site for those who like integrations without fragmentation.
• pnut.io Wiki - The spiritual successor to App.net.
• Other services will emerge in the fullness of time, e.g. micro.blog.

Other useful links:

• A proper Wiki by @tomas - with a list of ex-ADN users, complementary services, and more.

App.net event and achievement hashtags:

• ADN event hashtags - Hashtags associated with regular events and states of mind…
  • WednesdayChallenge - weekly 1-post short story writing challenge.
• ADN Post count achievements - badges awarded upon reaching a predetermined number of posts.
  • ADN Wiki PCA Cookie Club - original material as published on 2013-10-26
