Either that, or he'll be on MSN shortly. Failing that, you could always hit his Facebook like you did with the party invite. - robuk24, on 01/22/2008, -11/+371I still have no idea what the point of pownce is
- slowmotiony, on 01/22/2008, -12/+230People use Pownce?
- steveoco, on 01/22/2008, -16/+208Lol, after checking pownce out I thought pownce fills no niche I can think of. There are alternatives that do the job much better.
- DucoNihilum, on 01/22/2008, -31/+192Buried for spam.
- EserVerx, on 01/22/2008, -12/+170ITS A TRAP!
- angusm, on 01/22/2008, -8/+157Pownce ... all your friends are here (if you don't have any friends)
Pownce ... that's OK, we don't know what you'd want to use it for either
Pownce ... we worked long and hard to make our UI even uglier than Twitter's
Pownce ... now with added inconvenience
Pownce ... OK, so the people who got fed up with Twitter went to Jaiku ... but when they get fed up with Jaiku, we'll be ready for them
Pownce ... ever feel like you're talking to yourself?
Pownce ... send files to nobody! - robbh66, on 01/22/2008, -9/+135Pownce launches...and nobody cares.
- TheReport, on 01/22/2008, -14/+138I hate to say it and I know im going to get dugg down for this but Pownce really isn't an app that anyone I know uses, nor have I heard anything spectacular about. I have an account and I've tried it out but to be honest with you its just another application that wouldn't put me under if I didn't use it for a year or two. There are certain apps you just know are going to be decent and have a fighting chance. I predict that pownce without substantial growth or backing or any innovative features will be non-existent within the next 5 years, but who knows the game is still early. I hope the guys at pownce really proves me wrong and I know I'm a nobody that has no clout in the tech community and could spout off ***** all day and it wouldn't change anyones opinions but I hope they read this and take it into consideration.
- drcreek, on 01/22/2008, -17/+118Aww. Now I can't sell invites for gold in WoW. :(
- sykotik, on 01/22/2008, -5/+102I completely agree with you. I read the digg summarization, then the site summarization, and immediately thought of my gmail account. I love how four features are a "ton of new features" as well.
- colonelbuckshot, on 01/22/2008, -6/+101Story hits front page after 41 minutes.
- masterc, on 01/22/2008, -12/+97Pownce: Now with 25% more useless™
or
Pownce: Now everybody can do the same thing email does, only slower ™ - fkr3, on 01/22/2008, -0/+81They each weigh approximately a quarter of a ton.
- robbh66, on 01/22/2008, -4/+82You couldn't sell them before- nobody cares about pownce.
- sockpuppets, on 01/22/2008, -1/+78How many pownces are in one pownd?
- iwatts, on 01/22/2008, -6/+73Like other such ventures I believe the game is conning Venture Capitalists with more money than brains into exchanging real money for the web equivalent of magic beans. :)
- sockpuppets, on 01/22/2008, -5/+66Thanks for spelling that out for us captain obvious.
- SillyDigger, on 01/22/2008, -7/+61*whispers* I think Kevin Rose (Pownce creator) cheated....
- DBNKR, on 01/22/2008, -4/+57email
- markwilcox, on 01/22/2008, -5/+56Must be time to stop playing WoW.... hint hint...
- deboosher, on 01/22/2008, -2/+49I'm sorry, but only Digg users are using pownce and no one is gonna switch from facebook or myspace. They need to just integrate this ***** into digg.
- Kalakov, on 01/22/2008, -5/+52Isn't it just a twitter rip off ?
- ikamos, on 01/22/2008, -5/+51pownce got LOLed!
http://lolinator.com/lol/pownce.com/ - courtjester555, on 01/22/2008, -9/+50Props for using the ™ character
- iamichi, on 11/12/2008, -0/+40I like it when I get an email message telling me that I have a message waiting for me to read.
- Tgg161, on 01/22/2008, -0/+39Just turn around and walk over to his desk.
- inactive, on 01/22/2008, -4/+43And the point to this is?
- doctorfungi, on 01/22/2008, -1/+36Pownce launches? Meh...
- inactive, on 01/22/2008, -2/+36EVERYTHING.
- truspect0r, on 01/22/2008, -7/+37***** or GTFO!
Buried as spam. - kinglear, on 01/22/2008, -0/+30dugg for the overwhelmingly negative response.

Lewl. - chetanthaker, on 01/22/2008, -9/+38Twitter FTW !!
- idiotech, on 01/22/2008, -0/+28Agreed! (well said, by the way)
After checking out Pownce, I kept finding myself thinking, "so... what's the point?" - pitdog, on 01/22/2008, -2/+30Wow, you can send links and have REAL conversations.
Pownce is like ICQ, AIM, jabber or Goggle Talk, only with different graphics.
The most unique feature of Pownce seems to be its name. Come up with a new strange "cool" sounding name and add some message sending capabilities and here ya go - a new "promising" start-up ;) - Archer007, on 01/22/2008, -2/+29They're taking the hobbits to Isenguard!
- Archer007, on 01/22/2008, -0/+26You've either missed the point entirely, or you were brilliantly trying to continue his joke. I think we know which one this was.
- sockpuppets, on 01/22/2008, -0/+26What?
- ArthurArchnix, on 01/22/2008, -5/+29How big are the files you can send? Oh wait... I'm on Linux. Sorry, no Pownce for me.
- cl2yp71c, on 01/22/2008, -3/+27Doesn't appear too useful, as we have Digg and Facebook thriving.
- dbr_onix, on 01/22/2008, -0/+23Heh, I just signed up for an account name "home"..
When I'm logged in, I get "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page."
Hurray for not using suffixes like /users/[username].. - sockpuppets, on 01/22/2008, -0/+21Hey at least Tom's my friend. That guy Kevin just keeps sending me restraining orders.
- xamado, on 01/22/2008, -1/+22Pownce launches today, when will it die? A week maybe?
- roberto_deneero, on 01/22/2008, -1/+21It's to give Kevin something to do when they sell Digg.
- sockpuppets, on 01/22/2008, -1/+20Sadly that's better than the actual pownce site.
- theprez, on 01/22/2008, -6/+24Pownce launches! ...and is not working. Already tried signing up. I get "Ack! There's a bug in our codes."
- howzitgoin88, on 01/22/2008, -2/+20Where? Where?!?!
