I think that they could have a far higher conversion rate at a better price. I'd immediately switch to a paid plan if the service was $2 to $4 per month, even if it is beta and has a small number of users, just to try it out. $12 is far to high to 'impulse subscribe', and most paying users will probably not use a lot of disk space or bandwidth.
I'm looking forward to see what wins out in the social protocol space:<p>- Open and Decentralized (Tent)<p>- Open and Centralized (App.net)<p>- Closed and Centralized (Facebook)
- I'd provide a default avatar for new users.
- Bookmarklet before the browser extension.
- Ability to cross-post messages to Twitter but only on demand.<p>In any case, don't forget to remind me sooner rather than later that I signed up with you and I should come back.
I'm still having trouble signing up. I put in the information and click 'launch tent' and nothing happens. I assumed yesterday that the problem was overwhelming demand, but ~2500 users over 20 hr shouldn't overload the site.
