Pownce Invites Revisited…
I still have some Pownce invites still up for grabs. This time, I have 11 to give out. 6 will be given out to the public, while the other 5 will be given to writers of the tech.geek blog. You still got plenty of time writing for our blog, just sign up and email me at buzzhellchild@yahoo.com.au and write your username so I can change your account from Subscriber to Author.

The ‘Pownce’ Effect…
Remember Joost, and now it decided to open its doors (sort of). Now, following in its footsteps is Pownce. Pownce is like some kind of clash between Twitter and other Web 2.0 services (I don’t know, I’m just guessing from the images and crap), and was started by none other than Kevin Rose, the guy from Digg.
The Kevin Rose Project?
Kevin Rose is reported to be working on a new ‘IM and Twitter’ competitor. The new company is being developed by Rose, Leah Culver and Digg colleague Daniel Burka. The product’s launch date is expected to be later this month.
