Pownce – it’s pretty freakin’ sweet!
Update: Of course, I try to contact the team to get ya’all some invites using their contact email address, and it’s broken. :)
Rafe at Webware has a good indepth review as well.
Ok, I must admit. I wanted to hate this app. So many commenters on TechCrunch and Mashable say this is a worthless app. While I may still hate it after using it more, I just played with it for 10 minutes and it's pretty freaking sweet. It's what I have said all along Twitter should have been; that is a business productivity tool.
Pownce combines the best of Twitter, divshare and Renkoo into one slick app. While it's not the meat level of each app individually, if I can get my friends to use this, Twitter would be worthless to me.
I don't see any mobile access so Twitter wins there, but Pownce has a better interface, and has THREADED discussions. Gosh how I hate that about Twitter. The @ crap is tired.
It looks like the basic account is free and a pro account is $20/yr. I woudn't jump to the pro until we see some stability first. The free account will be advertising based at some point.
Here is my video review:
Thanks to Ryan for the invite!
Dear Allen,

Some great reviews have been coming from people who actually get on and try pownce. I could be providing design for pownce soon instead of myspace.
Anyone want to give me an invite? Send to judofyr[at]gmail[dot]com :)
I really think that this application would rock if released to the GPL. If they wanted to crush the other companies that are offering those applications….
[… News around the web have given plenty of coverage including Ryan Stewart, Tech Chrunch, Mashable, Center Networks (this guys even have put up a video of it) and of course even Mr. Scoble had something to say about it. So go check them out…] ping back from Samiq Bits
Sadly I came up with this exact same idea a few months back. Of course, that doesn’t mean anything really, but it’s weird to see it being done.
If you have an invite, I would love one… poliver1@babson.edu
I’ve been researching Pownce obsessively since the announcement, trying like heck to get myself an invite. Once I get on, I’ll definitely add you, thanks for the video review!
Thanks for making this video overview of pownce. It is more meaningful than screenshots in my opinion. Kudos to you! If you happen to stumble upon an invite, you may send it my way yohannes.wijaya[at]gmail[dot]com

This was the first video review that I’ve seen of the service. Thank you for that!
It looks pretty interesting. I look forward to trying it.
Awesome video review. I did not expect much from pownce but the reviews are making it look better and better. I’m psyched to try this out. If anyone can spare an invite place shoot one my way. junglepunkdb[at]gmail.com
