So whats the difference between the open source version of yonkly and this one that you are selling? Any change of plans since jaiku.com is now open source?
Jaiku's release won't really change my plans too much. If you want to create a microblog in asp.net mvc then you can spend a week or 2 designing, developing and testing it or spend a couple of hundred bucks and get Yonkly with the source code. The costs savings are obvious.
Also we offer a hosted service so you don't have to install, debug, setup or do anything to get up and running with your own branded microblog community. All you do is signup at yonkly.com and now, we offer free accounts and have reduced our prices significantly for premium accounts. I guess that's what happens when there is competition.
Also, keep in mind that we are bootstrapped and haven't raised any money and can't really afford to give away everything for free.
