Pownce Invites Update
Everyone who requested a Pownce invite yesterday should have received one from me; if you didn't, let me know, and I'll resend it. Moreover, I've determined how to obtain an infinite number of invites, so if you still want one, let me know in the comments.
Again, here I am on Pownce. So far, I haven't found much value added in using Pownce over Twitter. Twitter may only do one thing, but it's dead-simple. Pownce does more, but the added features (sending links, sending events, sending files) clutter what should be a clean interface.
Twitter is so intuitive since its obvious use is to answer the question "What are you doing right now?" Pownce doesn't display any sort of prompt as to what you're supposed to do with it other than "Send stuff to your friends." I'd recommend that they choose a more specific motto like "Build our userbase large enough so that we can get bought out by Twitter or Jaiku."

[...] There are benefits to both, which are well documented by Rafe Needleman. Twitter has a much more established base of users, but because my Twitter blog is relatively new, there’s less of a compelling need to stick with this audience. And Pownce is much more robust. So far, the functionality and fun of Pownce has been more compelling. I’ll play with both until the end of the month, and then make a final decision. Some prefer the simplicity of Twitter. [...]

[...] I just read that there are Pownce invites for sale on eBay (also covered here and here). Please don't pay for something you can get for free from me. [...]

Twitter sucks as far as I am concerned. its way to feature less. Being simple is on thing and being featureless is another.
Pownce has a definite advantage over twitter. I think Mashable was bang on in their review ( http://mashable.com/2007/06/28/pownce-2/ ) .
And pownce is definitely not cluttered. At least not at the moment.

If you still have invites, I'd appreciate one greatly. I don't think I'm sold on the idea of the service, but it's a bit hard to tell when I can't try it out in person ;)

Send me a invite and I will be happy ;)

Everybody who has requested an invite should have gotten one. If you didn't, let me know.
