  • Pownce Desktop 2.0 alpha released

    Posted on 2008-07-12 22:09:35 Tagged with , , ,

    Pownce released last night the first alpha of their new desktop client. The previous, at least for me, had become unusable due to login problem and such, so I'm quite happy that there is finally an official -- yet still alpha -- replacement.

    This new version thankfully comes with a simplified style and also embeds content like YouTube movies and the like instead of requiring users to once again go to the actual website. The client still uses Adobe AIR and is therefor available on Windows, MacOSX and Linux.

  • New Pownce.app on the horizon?

    Posted on 2008-07-02 12:12:23 Tagged with , ,

    For the last month and for some reason I never could log into Pownce using the official Pownce.app anymore. No idea why, but it seems like the App has enough problems to justify a move that I would have never guessed possible: Pownce now suggests more or less officially, that you should use a different app -- and PownceMonkey in particular -- if you're "experiencing substantial bugs".

    (Pownce is currently working on a new Pownce app - in the meantime, users experiencing substantial bugs may want to try http://powncemonkey.com )

    Big props for admitting that there are indeed tons of problems with the current app. Now I just hope, that the new app will offer such nice things like content preview and such :D For instance I'm still not really convinced that AIR is a good solution for stuff like that. First of all it still doesn't offer the look&feel of a native application and only in really rare cases it offers all the functionality the actual website -- it's supposed be a frontend for -- has. A small docklet that just shows me that there is new content would be much more interesting to me which just keeps me up to date and gives me some notification when someone posts something new.

    While I'm at it: This would be really nice for FriendFeed too ;-)

  • Public sharing and more Megs on Pownce

    Posted on 2008-05-08 09:14:47 Tagged with

    Wow, Pownce just announced 2 huges changes to their service:

    1. You can now also post files to the public instead of just being able to share links, events and messages with the world.
    2. The filesize limit has been raised to 100 MB for normal users and 250 MB for pro users.

    For me personally, this is really great, esp. since the new upload limit finally moves Pownce beyond sharing content via e-mail. I'm not so sure, though, about the whole public sharing thing. I guess only time will tell if people will be stupid enough to start sharing material copyrighted by others with the public (stupid because you have to have an account there to share stuff ;-)). Anyway, I really hope this works out for Pownce.

    And for myself I hope I can convince some of my colleges to join. This would make sharing links and the usual funny stuff much more convenient ;-)

  • Pownce: Friends gone?

    I guess Pownce is one of those apps out there where you really notice that it's in some kind of private testing for a reason ...
