I have used a plugin to link twitter to wordpress so that my twitter posts appear on my blog and my blog posts are announced to my twitter followers. I also noticed more typed in traffic to my blog by adding a background with my URL. I got a Pownce invite, and tried it out for a couple days and then went back to Twitter. I guess I should take another look at Pownce. Kevin I started using twitter a few months ago, and have seen a noticeable increase in the traffic to my wordpress blog.

It went something like "I thought Pownce was stupid, until I saw it was from Kevin Rose and Leah Culver!!" Um, still doesn't make it any less stupid because of the people involved. I find it overly intrusive, nothing interesting, and pretty much another Truemors - big name behind it, nothing yet of substance. Yes, you can say the same of Twitter, but I find the options there somewhat more pleasing. I think the best commentary about Pownce was on Twitter.

There is no added benefit for me to switch as I can't text files or calendar items through Pownce on my phone anyway. I think anybody who switches might be locked into their desktop while twitterers will be more mobile. I use twitter mostly from my phone.

And besides, some new Web 2.0 service that solves a problem nobody has will appear to compete with them both.
