A few days ago Kevin Rose, the creator of Digg, threw his piece of news startup called Pownce. Immediately, the blogósfera succumbed and many bloggers began to give his opinions about the new service that might be the Twitter competitor. Here I am not going to express my opinion about the service, because I believe that it would be of more, since I still cannot prove it, therefore my opinion would be groundless. Nevertheless, other persons, like Álvaro, have done posts on this matter, where they can find out on what it is what it spends with Pownce. Aquí no voy a expresar mi opinión sobre el servicio, porque creo que estaría de más, ya que aún no lo puedo probar, por lo tanto mi opinión sería infundada. Sin embargo, otras personas, como Álvaro, han hecho posts al respecto, en donde se pueden enterar sobre qué es lo que pasa con Pownce.

Well, uncov, a blog dedicated to analyzing “further away that the others” startups and projects in the Web 2.0 has done a Pownce review, and they have not remained with hair in the language. Practically they have destroyed the project, giving very severe opinions on this matter. Straight they label to Kevin's initiative, like a refried one, that does not contribute anything new and that has existed from the decade of 70s, only that now is closed (only it is deposited by invitations) and with colors cake. The one that wrote this is referring to the FTP, which does the same as Pownce: "to you allow to share things with your friends.” Directamente tildan a la iniciativa de Kevin, como un refrito, que no aporta nada nuevo y que ha existido desde la década de los 70s, sólo que ahora es cerrado (sólo se ingresa con invitaciones) y con colores pastel. El que escribió esto está haciendo alusión al FTP, que hace lo mismo que Pownce :”te permite compartir cosas con tus amigos.”

And the thing not for there; also it rushes forward at members of the staff; in particular, Leah Culver. Yes, the same programmer, who is better than the best bread and who gained herself a Macbook Pro on having recorded with laser his sponsors on the covering of his portable one. In the uncov post, his programming skills put themselves in prestige, since most of the place is working with JavaScript, doing that the load and the latency are major than the normal thing. en concreto, Leah Culver. Sí, la misma programadora, que está más buena que el mejor pan y que se ganó una Macbook Pro al grabar con láser a sus patrocinadores sobre la cubierta de su portátil. En el post de uncov, se ponen en predicamento sus técnicas de programación, ya que la mayor parte del sitio está funcionando con JavaScript, haciendo que la carga y la latencia sean mayores que lo normal.

Anyway, it seems that someone got up of bad and a post wrote against Kevin Rose. In what concerns me, if they ask me, I believe that Pownce is like a Twitter with more unnecessary things; there is nothing new in this project, and they are making use of the reputation of the microblogging, doing a mashup of a service that is more than successful. Why to reinvent the wheel?, but something good has to go out of this, topcoat with Rose's influence in Internet. no hay nada nuevo en ese proyecto, y están aprovechando la fama del microblogging, haciendo un mashup de un servicio que es más que exitoso. ¿Para qué reinventar la rueda?, pero algo bueno tiene que salir de esto, sobretodo con la influencia de Rose en Internet.
