OK… am I missing something here? What’s so special about Pownce and why should I bother?

I had a look around and can’t find any reason why I should set up an account and spend any time on the network.

Do tell…

“Pownce is a way to keep in touch with people and share stuff with them. Send files, links, events, and messages to people you know and have real conversations about them.”

It’s a new social website dealy I guess. Seems neat and ajaxy. A lot of popular bloggers joined already. I suppose the founders network well.

It seems cool in it’s simplicity… you share files, links and text with your friends. I am sure over time people will get really good at networking with a huge number of people and will be able to leverage that.

I joined. No reason not to, and if you don’t, the only person missing out is you. Noone else will care.

Thanks, John.

I suppose there is no harm if it’s for the purpose of networking.

That is what I had thought of facebook. None of my friends were on it, I couldn’t view anyones profile, there was no “magic,” etc… But I guess if it gets enough momentum…

Another social networking site! I hardly ever spend time on any of them because they mostly seem like time wasters to me.

Hey Jeremy, would you consider a reader of your blog as a “friend”? :-)

You said the same thing about Twitter and never came back to it after months! Pownce, imo, is a lot worse than Twitter. I’m a Twitterholic, and not so much with Pownce anymore even though I’ve been a member of Pownce since the beta stages…

I just wanted to stake my claim on pownce before someone else squatted on shoemoney ;)

Pownce isn’t able to answer the “why should I choose this one over Twitter” question as far as I’m concerned, they should have brought a lot more in terms of innovation in order to stand a chance attacking Twitter’s market position.

I expect a huge derth of these sort of sites over the next few years. People see the 23 Billion Facebook value and want their piece.
