Well, they gave it a shot but the micro-blogging site Pownce is closing the the doors December 15th. Looks like a couple of the folks and some technology are headed over to Six Apart. The Six Apart blog is encouraging powncers to head over to their Vox service.
Personally, I deleted my Pownce account a couple months ago in an effort to resolve some social bankruptcy challenges. I’ve never tried Vox but can’t say I’m feeling a strong urge… I’m generally overwhelmed with just Twitter and Facebook!

Pownce made sense to me. It’s unfortunate they decided to shut it down. Vox isn’t that great. It’s kind of like MySpace, but prettier.
Twitter alone is overwhelming!
I just never got all that engaged with Pownce. I tried but it just didn’t “click” for me. Apparently I was not alone with that feeling…
That’s understandable. The same thing applies to other services as well, some people prefer one site/service over another. =)
