"Dalton is obviously just using Fred Wilson's name to market his app.net bullshit."
I think Dalton has valid points.
That of course is totally separate from whether he gets benefit from mentioning FW.
He does. A smart move. Got me to read the post.
That said I'm not entirely sure after watching the video (btw Dalton it bothered me that you didn't look at the camera..) and scanning the site what is going on here. Maybe it's just that time of day.
I really have to admit I share the level of distaste for Twitter ads. And your post sounds really discouraging, something I normally don't see here on HN.
Protip to Dalton: Nobody cares about twitter ads as you do, it will never take off. After you fail for the 1383th time, please quit.
