Pownce goes public. Does anyone care ?

So, yet another social “whatever” web 2.0 website went public after six months of invite only beta glory. Pownce connects you with friends and other people and you can share files and messages with your contacts. You can use a desktop client using Adobe Air or the website to stay connected.

Users can import friends from other popular sites like Facebook or Twitter which are then added automatically to yet another network. I’m a bit unsure about the difference to Instant Messengers though and can’t really find why I should be using Pownce instead.

Anyone got an idea let me know please. I’m a bit tired of all those web two point O websites that do not really add something unique that could justify their existence. I know that I won’t be using Pownce and other services like it. If I want to keep in touch with my friends I use an Instant Messenger, Skype or E-Mail. Call me old fashioned.

In case you are interested, everyone may join now.
