I Pownce, Do You?
By Nicholas Chan on Sep 10, 2007 in Internet
Er, for real, I don’t really Pownce a lot. In fact, I Twitter more than Powncing. Pownce have been in the Internet for a few month since Kevin launches the service. Until now it’s still in Beta service, means that Pownce is still in invitation based.
Pownce is a great way to send stuff to people you know. Add friends, then send them big files, invite them to upcoming events, share great links, and whip off a note to anyone, everyone, or just a few people.
Last time, I was mistaken that Pownce is the new Twitter. Actually it’s not. Although the client for both service look alike on the Mac - Twitteroo and Pownce for Windows/Mac, it doesn’t mean that they are the same. However, they also share some same feature.

Pownce’s client on the Windows and Mac.
Aside from the client/software, Pownce and Twitter allow you to share your current status, etc. What are you doing?. Or when you update your blog, you can post it there and other Pownce user that is your friend will notice it. Twitter is a more simple service, or known as microblogging but Pownce is not. Pownce is more on the social networking side. Twitter offers RSS and Widget to be placed on site showing your latest updates and text message feature which allow you to send Twits from your phone or received your friend’s update. All these doesn’t appear on Pownce.

What is so special about Pownce is you can share files, photos and links beside just updating your status. That’s what you can’t do on Twitter. Besides that, you have a profile page in Pownce, which similar to other Social Networking site, it shows your photo, friends, basic info and updates. That’s why I said that it’s more likely a new social networking site which is very simple and fun to use.
So do you want to be invite to join Pownce? Stay tune, I have plenty of invitation to be given out. But Pownce can make money? I am still figuring it out. Hehe.
Updates : Pownce do offer RSS updates.
