Sam has been Powncing ahead as usual and hat tip to him for the invite. Right off the bat I can say I Kevin Rose’s Pownce (and I still like twitter) feels like a better thought out Twitter. Not surprising since Twitter was way ahead and I think Ev and team were experimental…and blazed a path. I fought Twitter for quite awhile…not any more. Micro-chunk, thin-sliced, easy to read, make it simple, fast-delivery is good. I still haven’t seen what I want though in a type of application like this for certain goals so I am going to have my biz buddy Don (of SLTweets.com), you know the guy that tools around with me in virtual worlds, create this- I hope…He may slap me, I may pawn him. Hard to say.

It took me 5 minutes to sign up for Pownce and go Pro. I do have an invite left after tapping colleagues (I think)…just reply with ‘Hey Wayne- Pownce me” or feel free to go off on why you think micro-chunking information is where it is at or not. I liked the no ads option. I do not mind to pay a fair price for software- I far prefer it to ads. If I have it- I will hook you up.

Social networking- gosh. Between E-mail, skypes, My Page (last), IM, Twits, RSS, phone calls, video conferences…is it any wonder we feel a bit awash in communications? That is why I liked twitter- I could get it when I needed it and that is why I have been relatively silent for awhile. I was more productive creating off grid, however it is very useful for idea absorption and synthesis. Let’s not forget- good blogging, at any pace is hard work. Micro-chunked messages that are aggregated over time makes a blog a good canon for “twitter’ or ‘Pownce” or any sort of this.

Website + App
You can access all of your Pownce notes just on our website or you can download a small program for your computer.

The software is available right now for Windows and Mac users and will available for Linux soon too. It takes advantage of a new technology from Adobe called AIR, which is super useful.
