Exclusive, Would-Be MySpace-Rival Pownce Goes Public
Do you like Twitter, but wish that it offered a little more functionality? Or do you dig Facebook, but think the whole Web 2.0 social networking scene is a bit stale? Whatever your feelings, you need to check out Pownce, the latest revolution in keeping in touch with friends. The social-networking service has just entered a public beta, meaning the software isn't quite ready for prime-time, but is open for you to check out. Created by the same people behind the immensely-successful Digg, Pownce is a mixture of group-based IM, event invitations, and file sharing. You create lists of friends and can post updates a la Twitter, but can also post files for download like any file sharing app. You can also post up events for friends to join in on. It's a bit of an odd mix of features that we're not sure will necessarily make Pownce the next MySpace, but, again, if ya gotta be cutting edge, this is it.
