Pownce rocks!
One of the co-founders of the famous “Digg“, the website which lets you discover and share content from anywhere on the web, has launched a new social networking site called Pownce that is a direct challenge to Twitter. With Twitter, people can broadcast short messages and also announce what act of mischief they are engaged in at any point of time! But with Pownce, you can share messages, files and also do event management.
Frostfire has listed 10 reasons why Pownce rocks:
- The group messaging is great.
- Pownce handles replies correctly and Twitter does not.
- Pownce has a great private conversation tool. It also has unlimited words.
- Pounce has better design
- Pownce has got a better grip on threading and privacy.
- Pownce allows different kinds of messages, for example links, events and file transfers.
- Pownce lets you forward messages.
- Pownce has an AIR desktop.
- Pownce is fast with no performance issues.
- Pownce will expand the Digg community into the mobile world
Presently Pownce is by invitation only, a reminder of Gmail in its early days. Proving that everything has a market, invites to Pownce are up for sale on eBay, with its current bidding at $5.
But I have 3 invites to give away! Good news, what!
All you have to do to earn it, is to write at least 2 sentences about this blog in the comment box. So simple!!
Don’t tarry!!

Mute Ants!
I found an interesting treatise on the ubiquitous but enigmatic ants and their behaviour at the web site of Mute, a simple file-sharing tool! The analogy of ants’ collective behaviour is leveraged in the function of this tool!
But what is particularly interesting is not the tool per se, but the well-researched article on how ants find food, which you can read here!
Here is a sample:
Ants display collectively intelligent behavior when foraging for food or fighting off predators. Each ant in the colony acts in a rather simple way, but together they end up doing something clever, like discovering the shortest path between their ant hill and a food source.
You can try Mute and also emulate the ants in the process!

About Me
I am S.K!
Ok, what's the big deal, you may ask! But you may miss a good deal if you do not dwell deep into this web site, specially hand-crafted for you. But what about me, the person? Wait, I am not good at making things up. If you stumble upon a good-sounding résumé, please pass it on to me!

Quirky something
I wish developing great products was as easy as writing a check. If that were the case, Microsoft would have some great products. -
