In other cases, I think they are not pushing their focus as a web-focused "sharing stuff" service, e.g., if I share a .png file, it doesn't preview the image it the same way as if I shared a link to a Flickr page -- even though if I share an .mp3 file, it *will*. Stuff like correlate.us and FriendFinder are going to end up eating their audience I think, as will more ambitious efforts to aggregate things like XFN/FOAF and OpenID together into a open social-network system. Twitter is a way to get messages out in multiple platforms like SMS and AIM -- it makes Twitter almost a protocol as well, one that turns its service and API into something unique and valuable. Pownce needs to find something similarly unique soon, lest they just become a place that anti-Facebookers flock to. Hey, thanks for the link love. :)

The company was acquired by Google not too long ago, so I guess they've done something right. I’d recommend also trying Jaiku, which works very well for my purposes to inform of my “presence”.
