Invites for Pownce and a short review

// July 7th, 2007 // photolog

I got invited to Pownce thanks to Pallab today.

Kevin Rose (famous for digg.com) is the founder of Pownce. Its a combination of micro-blogging, file sharing, link sharing and planning events. I’m a fan of Twitter and love these concepts because they make news travel fast, let you stay in touch with friends and help you meet new (interesting) people.

Why is Pownce different to Twitter?

• Ability to send files to a single person, to a group or to everyone in your buddy list.
• Similarly you can send messages, links and event updates to a single person, to a group or to everyone.

Pownce is web based however a light-weight desktop module based on Adobe’s Apollo (AIR) is also available. The desktop application looks really good and makes it easy to use. For a full review you can look at Mashable and Webware’s coverage.

Pownce is still in beta (or alpha) but it looks good. I wonder if this will be the killer app that we can use at the office to replace old fashion MSN. If you want to try it, just leave a comment here requesting an invitation. I have 5 invites left at the moment.
