Pownce is open for registration! | Microblogging
Maybe a little late, but now Pownce does not require invites.
Pownce.Com is a microblogging service for a small team from San Francisco. One of the developers is Kevin Rose, the creator of the famous Digg.Com. Recently, Pownce has emerged from closed beta testing, and now anyone can try it. Pownce is often compared to Twitter, but it seems to me - even though these two services are microblogging, the main difference from the second is the ability to share with friends and other types of messages - such as a link, a file (10Mb limit), meeting requests ( As an independent event in the calendar - all events can be synchronized with iCal or with Google Calendar).
In general, the design on Pownce is not even very bad, but for me - the posts are better organized than on Twitter. For them, several public, frineds only, or even private note access levels have been made for an individual character from the group of your readers, which is called the hapless word ' fans '.
The main disadvantage of the service is the complete lack of Unicode support, and, as a result, the Russian language as a whole. Well, then she and betta)
There is also the functionality of importing address book from Twitter, Digg, FaceBook, Flickr, GMail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and AOL. Undoubtedly, this list will be supplemented with other services.

And another advantage of Pownce compared to its counterparts is that Pownce has its own a la im client written with porting to Adobe Air technology (which means cross platform!), Which allows you to write notes and comment on your friends' notes:
However, I have considered only a small part of all the possibilities of this service, in order to really try it out and draw conclusions, I advise you to look at it yourself.
By the way, this is my Pownce page .
