Today's Most popular News

In the microblogging wars this summer, the main event was Twitter vs. Pownce. Today it appears that Twitter won.

What happened to Pownce? In the early days Kevin Rose and Leah Culver were using the tool to provide updates and there were many replies to each of their posts. Checking Kevin’s profile today, its down to one update every three days and even a call for a party pushed Digg with no mention of Pownce in the invite.

Then we had the public Digg post about whether Digg copied Pownce with some of its new features. Mathew has an overview of the issue.

Traffic continues to slide back as well per Alexa. And most of the users on my buddy list are using it for spamming marketing links. 

I still like the Pownce interface better than Twitter’s interface but if my "friends" aren’t on the network, then why use it? Are you still on Pownce? If so, please friend me so I can monitor usage of the tool.
