I voted for Jaiku, never used Twitter and can never be bothered to load Pownce there's just no community feel there, even after loads of people I know joined it still just didn't seem as social for me. Dunno why.
Pownce is way too buggy (even for a closed beta). Number of my friends can't login. Tech support doesn't answer to emails.... these are points that make a good service, or not. ;)
ChiefTWiT: The apps, so far. Pownce is pretty much just the AIR client and the site (though the site IS simple in that you go to www.pownce.com and it takes you right to where you want to input).
I think the two still have separate functions. Jaiku for that up-to-the-second-omg-what-is-leo-laporte-doing post and Pownce for the stuff that requires a touch more detail. Doesn't Pownce touch more on Tumblr's functionality?
I agree Leo. I like them both but Jaiku is on top at the moment. Pownce needs to add more RSS capabilities, IM and mobile support. If I could pull RSS from sets and/or filters then it would be over the top of Tumblr and approach Jaiku.
But it is early still for Pownce. Let's give them another month. :)
It appears that the host of that site didn't actually mean it when he said "Vote, spread the word, heck, take the code and put it on your own blog!", and apparently my doing so is 'gaming the system'. So, he's removed the poll.
If I wasn't on the clock, I'd say what I think about this, but I am... so you'll just have to make it up for yourselves :)
@rick - I can't see yours there - but I think his site has some oddities in the way it displays comments - my one there seemed to disappear and reappear a couple of times.
Jaiku, even though I've only been here about twelve hours. Much better than Twitter. But I would sure love to be able to update via text message. :grumble:

If you want sms on the US, you can just set your email account to forward all jaiku emails you receive to your phone, works fine for me

I have to admit Pownce is coming on strong. I'm really trying to think what makes one better than another.

Sorry folks, that was wasted effort.
It appears that the host of that site didn't actually mean it when he said "Vote, spread the word, heck, take the code and put it on your own blog!", and apparently my doing so is 'gaming the system'. So, he's removed the poll.

Something's definitely screwy on that site - comments keep appearing briefly, then going away.

I love Jaiku! Jaiku rocks! Not that involved in Pownce
2 years, 5 months ago by angelmartinez
Ha. What an absurd site. What is this guy implying constitutes "cheating"?

composit: Linking to it, apparently.
2 years, 5 months ago by malach
I see he has reopened the poll with the disclaimer that it has "turned into a popularity conference". I won't include a link to the re-opened poll.
