I recently joined Pownce, another social networking site in the vein of Facebook.  So far I like it a lot.  It’s tailored for the geek who finds all kinds of interesting things on the internet and wants to post them for all his/her friends to see.  

The basic idea is to add friends on the site, post cool and interesting things all while updating your friends of what’s going on with you. You can also send files to friends (up to 100 mb in size).  So your recorded mp3’s, photoshop docs you’re working on, pictures, videos, whatever you want.  I like the setup and the integration into Facebook.  I’m trying to get the word out there and get some like-minded people on it from the blogsphere.  

It’s very interesting and extremely real time when you can take a pic or record video from your cell phone and upload it to Pownce.  I don’t think there’s integration of Pownce into cell phone browsers yet (maybe Safari for the iPhone), but it’s definitely something they should work on if not.  

So far my biggest challenge is actually finding people I know who are into it — there aren’t many.  It was created by Leah Culver, a San Franciscan who’s heavy in the tech world like lots of the San Frans over there (or so it seems), so a lot of the people center in that area.  I was never big into meeting online pals, so right now it’s a hindrance as I try to build my network in the blog world.

Anyway, it’s free to sign up (you can upgrade to the “pro” version for $20 a year; a worthy investment if you use it daily), so if you’ve got a few minutes, jump over to Pownce and add me!
