Jason C. Romero’s Website

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.
