Pownce is another social networking site to try out
Pownce is a social networking site that started launched June 27th of last year. It was initially invite-only but went public this Tuesday, January 22nd. I signed up today so that I may check it out. It has some features that let you link to your profiles on other similar sites. You can post public announcements or private announcements. You can send images and other files to friends. They also have a pro feature ($20/year) that gives you more features. I'm not sure if I will do much with it. The popularity of any of these sites is dependent on your friends. You have to heavily pimp a site like this to your friends in order for it to be effective. I've been active on different sites but I always shut down my profile when it gets too boring or my herd of friends moves on. I've been active on the following sites (in this order): 1. Friendster 2. Xanga 3. LinkedIn 4. MySpace 5. Facebook (haven't closed this one down yet) So ... I guess we'll see how Pownce works out. Click here to check out my profile. Be my friend. UPDATED 1/29/2009: Pownce was closed down on December 15, 2008. I'm currently bouncing around on Twitter and Friendfeed.
