Do you remember Pownce?  It was a social networking micro blogging site similar to Twitter, but more like Twitter on steriods.  It was a start-up of Kevin Rose, creator of Digg, and in my opinion, was pretty cool.  Unfortunately, it didn’t last long.  After only about a year of existance, the site was bought by a company called SixApart, they are the people behind VOX, Movable Type and Type Pad.  Once bought by them, we lost the twitter that would let you post videos, music and more.

At I thought it was gone.  Turns out a group of people, fans of Pownce, created a replica site with all of the same features and named it Schmownce.  I just created an account, and am still feeling my way through things, but thought I would throw up this post to hopefully entice a few more people to sign up.  I will meander around the site for a while to see if it will catch on with me.

In the process of finding out about Schmownce, I also took the time to start up a VOX account to at least reserve my name for later use.  You can check out nothing at danielvining.vox.com
