Don't know whether issues are also used for suggestions/ideas but hope so.
One issue that App.net might face is that a paid service might make it difficult to get complete peer groups over, which obviously is a great part of any new social service. I'd love to see the idea of allowing sponsored/paid/bundled memberships.
A good example is Evernote, where a company can decide to sponsor its employees premium accounts, or what Dropbox did with the team edition.
Now, if we would make sponsoring memberships part of the API, that would open up so many opportunities, including e.g. selling an app/client via one of the many App Stores that comes with e.g. a one year membership.
What do you think?
