Pownce

Kevin Rose and his geek posse unveiled a new Web2.0 startup a week ago, called, "Pownce." Pownce is a cross between Twitter, Myspace Bulletins (at least, the way they were MEANT to be used [i.e. not a dumbass survey system and chain letter vector])/Facebook eventss, and a filesharing service.

In addition to their beautiful, sleek, and well designed web interface, the team at Megatechtronium (the parent company of Pownce) have put together a beautiful, sleek, and well designed desktop interface as well. It runs on Adobe AIR, which is Adobe's new cross platform runtime environment which essentially makes web applications desktop applications; sort of like Widgets (though more than just Java apps). Very interesting, and i expect to see it used by more and more companies in the future. Maybe we'll see Google porting their office apps to Adobe AIR.

Anyway, that was a tangent. Pownce is cool, if I haven't sent you an invite yet, I have four left. Just send me an email at sscneelix@gmail.com and let me know!
