Farewell Powce

Do you remember the Dot-com crash of 2000? Pownce has been acquired by the blogging company Six Apart, the makers of Movable Type, TypePad and Vox. Pownce, a social networking service that I have been using for the last year. Here is a e-mail that I received tonight. After reading the first line...that is where my mind went...Web 2.0 Crash of 2008 or maybe 2009.

"We are sad to announce that Pownce is shutting down on December 15,
2008. As of today, Pownce will no longer be accepting new users or new
pro accounts.

Our thanks go out to everyone who contributed to the Pownce community,
