I was never clear on the difference between Pownce and Twitter anyway. Looks like the littler one got squeezed out.

I never bought the “Twitter-killer” line. For me, Pownce was a completely different thing: it took a bit of fiddling (developing unofficial guidelines and group behaviours), but eventually we managed to turn it into a tightly focussed social network that was ideal for multi-threaded discussions with a variety of access-limits.
It was canned shortly after we found it to be indispensible. Still looking for a replacement…

if the internet has taught us anything, nothing is indispensable. there will always be some sort of replacement. or something that makes us forget about looking for the replacement.
