I received an email today from Pownce stating they were ending service:

“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.

To help with your transition, we have built an export tool so you can
save your content. You can find the export tool at Settings > Export.
Please export your content by December 15, 2008, as the site will not
be accessible after this date.

Please visit our new home to find out more:

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

Pownce was a free social networking and micro-blogging site. It launched on June 27, 2007, and was opened to the public on January 22, 2008. It was one of the 1st AIR applications out there. I remember trying to get an invite when it was still in BETA…..RIP Pownce, let’s see what sixapart will do with it now.
