Pownce came into existence as another competitor to Twitter. It’s selling point was that you could share files with friends on the site. However, it’s going away now: “Six Apart Acquires Pownce, Shuts Down Service.”
Usually a story like this would appear as a short blip on my radar. This time is a little different though, because, after searching and searching, I decided that Pownce was the place to leave messages for a close friend when she happened to be offline.
So, in a way, I feel like I looked for different places to live, then carefully decided on a place to call home, and now that home is going away.
Goodbye home. Time to look for another place to live.
