What’s So Special About Pownce?
23 January 2008Jeremy was kind enough to invite his readers to try out a new social network Pownce. It’s a great name for a Soc 2.0 website. But, what does it really offer or have the potential to offer it’s users? If you are going to ask your friends from your many other networks to join, what can you say that is different about it? I just delete most Soc 2.0 invitations I receive. I can imagine most of the invites I send, have the same destiny.
So, far, as I can see, Pownce offers the ability to send files to the friends within your network. You can post links and comments to your profile. You can events which I assume show up in your network’s feed in the sidebar. You can get a pro account where you can send files up to 100mb. The free account you can send up to a 10mb file. You can also choose from a variety of stylish templates for your profile. But, how does that compete with Facebook? Now, I understand they are new, but… They are going to do something really spectacular to really draw the crowds.
Have you been using Pownce? What do you think of it?
