Digg’s Kevin Rose has finally unveiled his secret project, and as you’d expect, it’s spelled wrong.
Pownce offers users the ability to share notes, events, and other media with friends in their network. This is not your typical social networking site though.
The moment you sign up, you are automatically friends with the person who invited you, and you are directed to a page with their friends. The “Home” link takes you to a Twitter-like interface with a feed of your friend’s content.
Users have the ability to comment on someone’s notes, and rank them with a 5-star system. It’s simple to send a link or mp3 to one friend, a group of friends, or everybody on your list.
You can choose between four different designs, all of which are easy on the eyes. The user interface is very clean, and usability is a breeze.
Pownce has an ad-free “pro” version for $20 a year which allows you to upload files over 100mb. When you sign up, you can also download a desktop app which runs on Adobe’s new AIR environment. It displays a running feed of your friend’s content, and allows you to post as if you were on the website.
The site has a few simple bugs, but overall, it’s the best “lifestream” web application I’ve ever used. Once the community is better defined, I think this site will be commonplace on the web.
Props to Leah, Kevin, Daniel, and Shawn.
