Pownce is open to register! | Microblogging
Maybe a little late, but now on Pownce no invites are required. Pownce.Com is a microblogging service for a small team from San Francisco. One of the developers is Kevin Rose, creator of the famous Digg.Com. Pownce recently stepped out of closed beta testing, and now anyone can try it. Pownce is often compared to Twitter, but it seems to me that although these two services are microblogging, the main difference from the second is the ability to share with friends and other types of messages - such as a link, file (10Mb limit), meeting invitations ( As an independent event in the calendar - all events can be synchronized with iCal or with Google Calendar).
In general, the design on Pownce is not very bad, but for me - the recordings are better organized than on Twitter. For them, several access levels are made public, frineds only, or even private note for an individual character from the group of your readers, which is called the unlucky word ' fans '.
The main disadvantage of the service is the complete lack of Unicode support, and as a result of the Russian language as a whole. Well, that's what it is and beta)
There is also a functional for importing the address book from the services Twitter, Digg, FaceBook, Flickr, GMail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and AOL. Undoubtedly, this list will be supplemented by other services.
And another advantage of Pownce compared to its counterparts - Pownce has its own a la im client, written with porting to Adobe Air technology (which means cross-platform!), Which allows you to write notes and comment on friends' notes: However, I examined only a small part of all the features of this service, in order to truly try it and draw conclusions, I advise you to look at it yourself. By the way, this is my Pownce page . Crosspost from my blog . Here is his RSS .
