Pownce.com was good in a sense. Many times tweets are too small to convey the message. One has to split the content into multiple tweets which are seen in most twitter clients in the reverse chronological order which screws up the reading – just like top posting in an email – only worse! OR one has to post the content on a blog like wordpress, etc and give a link to it on twitter. In the later case, twitter is only a way of giving a pointer.
Pownce was just right. One could post larger messages including video & images. But twitter was a lot more active than pownce in my opinion.
I think Twitter is overrated, at least to some extent. But we need to wait and watch. Right now, it seems to have taken on everyone, including me!
