Pownce, a cool micro-blogging site

Almost all of us have a blog (almost…) and we love making friends on Facebook, My Space and Orkut. But there’s a certain thing gaining popularity called as micro-blogging. It lets you stay in touch with your friends constantly and update them on a minute-to-minute basis (just a way of saying it,mate). Pownce is one such website that you may want to check out.

What is Pownce? Well, it lets you send messages, files, links, and events to your friends and create a network of friends. According to the website:

You might send an event out to a dozen of your friends letting them know you’re hosting a party this Friday. They’ll get the event details, respond with questions or comments and then quickly rsvp.

Say you had a great photo you wanted to share. Add the file and your friends will get it right away. They’ll reply and tell you if it’s cool. You can even share your songs with your friends
