Like most things American, they like newer, shinier, faster, cooler. The real tell will be in the longevity. Carl,

I don't understand what the fuss is all about, but one thing is for sure, they're onto something since so many people go crazy about them!

I too liked Pownce when it forst came out, but I had no way to import my friends on Twitter to it. I too am amazed that even people like Linkedin and other social networks have added the Twitter type communication with friends. Thanks for inspiring this post of me today, I think your wish list is on everyone's mind. Thanks for the comment Alex.

Since I've been playing musical computers since WordCamp, I've really noticed how I haven't really missed Pownce. I often forget Twitter ... but I do get there more often. As for Facebook ... well time will tell. In fact tomorrow should be interesting as Plaxo is due to announce something interesting. Yeah Jim you’re right.

The funny thing about My friends and Pownce is that I think they would actually like it if they tried it, but they were totally unwilling to give it a shot. In addition to having first mover advantage, Twitter has a big community advantage. They have their API out there, so there's a good bit of middleware. Plus, people are very enthusiastic about the service and have been embracing ways to extend it. Frankly, I am shocked that AIM, Trellian, or Yahoo Messenger haven't completely co-opted this service. There's so much overlap and they already have a built in community. Essentially, these tools are just like persistent away messages. AIM is toying with the idea if you download their new beta, which lets you put in text for "moods". -Alex Hey Jim,
