Q: In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
Focused crawls are collections of frequently-updated webcrawl data from narrow (as opposed to broad or wide) web crawls, often focused on a single domain or subdomain. ||||| Nowadays, we're used to getting online services for free. 
  
 Free email from Google. Free cloud storage from Dropbox. Free streaming music from Spotify. 
  
 The problem with that? You have to deal with ads. 
  
 That's why Dalton Caldwell – you may remember him from this epic open letter to Mark Zuckerberg from a few days ago – started App.net, an alternative social network that you pay to use. 
  
 Caldwell and his team are raising money in a Kickstarter-like project to bring App.net to life. The goal is to raise $500,000 in 30 days. As of this writing, App.net has received just under $400,000. Fundraising ends August 13. 
  
 App.net functions a lot like Twitter, letting you follow users and view a feed of their updates. The company compares its service to how Twitter functioned "before it turned into a media company." The platform is also open to developers to create apps that'll help make the App.net more useful. 
  
 It's a noble-sounding effort, and App.net has gotten a lot of praise from tech pundits and other bigwigs in the industry such as Robert Scoble, Leo Laporte, and John Gruber. 
  
 If you want to give App.net a try, you can donate now. A $50 donation gives you access to the service for one year, $100 adds the bonus of developer tools to start creating apps for App.net, and a $1,000 donation will score you a personal meeting with Dalton. ||||| Social media has gone mainstream, and jaded geeks are totally over it. Facebook? It's turned into "sludge for the brain now, filled with fluffy rabbits and gibberish." Twitter? Just a mess of "mass-market spoonfed 'trending topics.'" Instagram? What was once the epitome of geek chic has been overrun with filthy Android smartphone users, not to mention Iran's Supreme Leader. 
  
 So trendsetting geeks are pinning their hopes on a new, geekier-than-thou social network called App.net. For just $50, you, too can become part of this exclusive club of early adopters, free to sniff at the riffraff on Facebook and Twitter. Social networking has reached the crucial "alt" phase. 
  
 App.net, the brainchild of long-time Silicon Valley entrepreneur Dalton Caldwell (above), sprung from an anti-Twitter rant he penned last month. The rant is full of technical jargon but boils down to the same argument that might be spewed by an indie rock fan upon hearing their favorite band's music in an Exxon commercial: Sell outs! Twitter went commercial. Now, Caldwell argues, they'd rather please their advertisers than their users. 
  
 App.net sells itself with the same socially conscious self-satisfaction as a fair trade organic chocolate bar at Whole Foods: "Our product is the service that we sell, not our users," is one promise. Cruelty-free social networking. 
  
 And just like hipsters obsessing over the retro-cool of a vinyl record, App.net is taking the decidedly antiquated approach of charging for its service. It currently costs $50 to "join the movement" i.e. open an account. Caldwell is introducing App.net with a crowdsourcing stunt borrowed from Kickstarter: It will only launch if enough people chip in $50 (or more), to reach a $500,000 fundraising target. (It's currently at $355,450, with three days left.) 
  
 Whitney Boesel at BuzzFeed suggests people are flocking to App.net because of digital "white flight," with App.net being the gated suburbs where white users are trying to shut out the minorities and poor people who are increasingly using social media. But App.net's emphasis on its geek cred—"We're building a real-time social service where users and developers come first," they say—seems to be more about a nostalgia for the early days of social networking, when the only people tweeting and Facebook-ing were super tech savvy early adopters. 
  
 The $50 paywall, they hope, will mean only serious geeks will join up. 
  
 "The mere fact of it being PAID FOR reducing the risk of morons and spammers," wrote the illustrator Lucy Pepper. 
  
 Will App.net really be able to convince enough geeks to pay $50 for admission to its organic Farmville? I wouldn't underestimate the geek hipster. We do live in a world where the mason jar cocktail shaker raised ten times its goal on Kickstarter. |||||
A:
There's a new social network in town, or at least there soon might be. App.net is asking potential users to pay $50 to join, and in return it promises users a "real-time social feed without the ads." That must sound good to quite a few people, because the site has rocketed past its $500,000 crowd-funding goal; with 17 hours to go, it's pulled in almost $700,000, with more than 10,000 total backers. Founder Dalton Caldwell thinks Twitter, Facebook, and the like have been ruined by ads and spam, and his idea is a "noble-sounding effort" that has won praise from other techies, writes Steve Kovach at Business Insider. But at Gawker, Adrien Chen pokes fun at the "geekier-than-thou" premise and its believers' "socially conscious self-satisfaction." Still, Chen isn't betting against it. "I wouldn't underestimate the geek hipster."
