Pownce is this month’s Twitter killer. From Wikipedia:
Pownce is a web service facilitating the transfer of messages, similar to an email or instant messaging system. It is possible for users to send messages, links, files and events to other contacts using the service.
Twitter wasn’t sticky for me, but I’ve got to keep track of what the cool kids are up to. So now I’m trying Pownce. Thanks to Tod, who invited me, I have six invitations to dispense.
And yes, Pownce reminds me to ‘ponce‘ (and, thus, ‘nonce‘), too.
Mister Wong is YASBS (yet another social bookmarking site) based in Germany. From the email pitch I received:
What makes Mister Wong standout from other Social Bookmarking sites is that every language has its own portal and database.
I’m having difficulty seeing the real advantage of this. Mister Wong doesn’t prevent me from adding foreign-language bookmarks–it just segregates the Chinese users from the Russian ones. Maybe there’s more language crossover problems than I thought?
There’s nothing in the app to move me away from Magnolia, but it looks pretty good .
In any case, if you want invitations to either of these services, let me know.
UPDATE: All the Pownce invites are gone. I asked a couple of invitees to subsequently invite a couple of people lower down on the comment list.
Sure, I’d love to try Pownce for the same reasons as you: This week’s Twitter-killer might actually kill it.
V. interested in Pownce.
If you’ve still got a pownce invite, I’d be interested in giving it a go.
thx mate!
I’d like a pownce invite too. Thanks!
Pownce me pleez
I would totally love a pownce invite! Thanks for the offer!
I would love a pownce invite, it looks very interesting, thanks! 🙂
Please someone send me an invite.
And I’m #7… figures.
Pounce does look interesting, guess I’ll keep my eyes open for it to open up to all.
I’d appreciate an Mr.wong invite. thanks
Regarding Mr. Wong – I could not agree more! Nothing new there! Big deal language support, plus on different domains – Simpy[1] already supports about 10 different languages on the same domain and does NOT segregate users – Korean, Chinese (Simplified), German, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French, and so on – see http://www.simpy.com/faq#browserLanguage for a list of all supported languages.
As always I seems to be a bit late 🙂
– but – if *anyone* can help me out – I’d be greatful for an invite to Pownce
