Microblogging…
Looks like everyones going crazy about Pownce. I’ve had an account for a while but I haven’t payed much (almost any) attention to it. And why’s that ?
Well, for starters, no desktop client for GNU/Linux. AIR stuff doesn’t run here, and looks like there’s no API yet. Also, there’s some features in Jaiku which make it a lot better than Pownce, like channels (totally agreed) and having feeds from your other stuff. And Pownce still acts a bit weird sometimes (notifications not working, stuff like that).
That’s why I still use a Jaiku/Twitter combination, usually making updates on Twitter (because overall, I still prefer gtwitter over pjaiku, and twitter’s been behaving better lately) which then get sent to Jaiku through the RSS feed along with everything else (last.fm, this blog, etc).
Oh and looks like invites have been pilling up on my Pownce account: 11 by now. If you want one, drop a comment. Just don’t expect any activity from me.

Hey. Eu gostava de experimentar o Pownce. Se me puderes enviar um convite seria porreiro.
Hasta,

I’m on all of the above and a lot more. I think of myself as a social network collector! LOL (I just closed my netlog breviously know as facebox, since I had myself in there in a desperate measure to end invite spam… not that it’s down, I have closed the account)
Now, I’m SOOO hooked on Twitter. I’m trying to get all my friends on it, but they don’t seem to enjoy it that much… maybe they don’t get the concept and refuse to spend time getting it. The best explanation I’ve seen on what twitter really is, was from one of the Dev’s on Scoble’s podcast at Twitters HQs. He says Twitter is like we’ve know the MSN “status messages” (that sometimes are activated as “Now Playing:” messages). And that’s how I view it: quick and up-to-date non-premeditated scribble of what’s going on with me…
Wanna gimme your Twitter for exchanging follow ups? :)
Cheers

In case Tiago doesn’t have any anymore, I’ve got a few available. I’ve used 2 of my 6 since and I don’t know anyone else who’d fit in there… I know I don’t… yet! :) Abra??o
