[...] close to the paradigm-shifting changes of sites like Digg(even people who praise Pownce note its lack of originality ). At best, all three new startups present a repackaging and rebranding of existing technologies. [...]

Pownce is really very feature limited.
You post a comment on a freinds page. That friend replies you. The reply does not reach your page but is actually gets posted in that same freind’s page. What they call trackback is USELESS !
There cannot be any comparison to twiiter which is something “bigger” and better.

@ Mark
You are NOT the only one who sees email as the easiest way
Those who are sceptical about spams etc will be eased to know you can easily set your email to receive mails from your “trusted” ones only or have just a special folder to receive those things.

Clay I’m a twitter user as well and am quite a fan of their service but I think amongst my friends usage has really dropped off recently. I’ve gone from five or six tweets an hour from my contacts down to five or six a day. The passion that was there seems to have gone.

It might be possible for Twitter to replicate the functionality of Pownce but they haven’t responded to Jaiku’s extra features yet

I think the stability has only got better because of the loss of traffic I might be wrong though!

Sorry but I dont agree mainly because…
1. twitter already has network effect.
2. any new features pownce has twitter can simply add them to twitter.
3. twitter will fix their stability, and already is far better than a couple of months ago.
By the way – I am a twitter user.

Thanks for the overview Kelvin. I received an invite over the weekend and joined, but haven’t had a chance to explore yet.

I do have to admit I’m like Mark above. Email has always worked as an easy way to be in touch with people. For the people I really want to talk to all the time I have IM. It does become tedious having to monitor different sites to stay in touch.

[...] Let me get this straight, Kevin Rose, who last year criticized Jason Calacanis for using Netscape to launch a “Digg clone”, now has a Twitter clone?Â [...]

Yeah I see your point, I think some of the point is there’s no spam as only your friends can contact you.

“Pownce is a way to send messages, files, links, and events to your friends.”

Am I the only one who sees email as the easiest way to do this instead of having yet another online account to monitor?
