Incidentally, they changed the name of one of their features. They now have a "Free Users" row. So I can get 2000 "Free" users for only $40/month – what a deal!

Yonkly is actually free for the end users; however, like meetup, if you want to host a specific niche, or group, we put a price on it–mainly because we'd rather have 1 microblog on tech with 100 users than the antithesis

Will people be turned off because of this? Sure. However, we're sticking to our convictions that it's better for microblogging as a whole.

Also, I think your wording of "killing twitter" misses the point completely. Furthermore, one must define the word kill.

Does kill mean making more money than Twitter? If so, we've already killed them.

Does kill mean attracting a larger number of users? If so, Twitter is still alive and kickin'!

- Scott from Yonkly

This is a platform to enable people to create there own network private or public and have full control over it from having a custom domain, custom look, custom message size and prompt. All that on top of the extra features that twitter does not have.

We already have an amazing number of networks created from topics as varied as lawyers, sharepoint, photography, religion and some that are geo-centric e.g a bulgarian network, an egyptian network, a chinese network and so on.

Also REMEMBER, Yonkly is FREE for users. Only the network owner will pay.

Some good examples are http://www.isweat.comwith 2500+ members and photographersjournal.com which is only 2 days old and growing fast.

Thanks for the review though and for taking a look at Yonkly.
