Kevin Rose Launches ‘Pownce’ Messaging, Social Net Hybrid App

by DJ Neawedde | 27th June 2007

The rumors about Kevin Rose’s latest startup have been put to rest with his announcment of Pownce. The site says “Pownce is a way to send messages, files, links, and events to your friends.” So basically it’s a fusion of social networking tools and instant messaging capabilities.

One cool feature is the ability to send things to groups of people at a time, almost like ‘group chat’ but better. Something else sweet about Pownce - it’s a hybrid. Created through Adobe AIR (formerly Apollo), you can use it as web-based or take it system side and use as a regular software application. Don’t get too excited yet, as right now Pownce is an invite-only beta.
