As a follow up to yesterday’s post(see below), people are putting Pownce invites up for sale on Ebay.

I received my invite for Pownce yesterday. I was fairly interested in trying it out since I’ve read some good reviews of it, and honestly I wasn’t blown away by it, but certainly I was impressed. If you don’t already know what Pownce is, it is basically a web app that allows users to hook up with friends to send files and messages, post a link, keep track of events, all on Powne’s servers. It’s free, except there is of course a pro version that costs money.

Pownce will undoubtely improve in the future, including full desktop configuration. You can pimp your theme, although that’s pretty limited at the time. I’m sure in the future it will be much more open, ala MySpace. Still a nice app for you and your buddies to keep in contact with each other. I actually thought it would be nice for WoW guilds to schedule raids. The possiblities are endless.
