Pownce is the latest venture by Kevin Rose, founder of Revision3 and Digg.com. Pownce is basically an IM tool that allows users to send messages, files, links, and events to other users on the IM tool.
Right now Pownce is still testing and only sending out invites to selected users. Pownce’s software runs on Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR), a software that is similar to Adobe Flash.
The rest of the Pownce team includes Leah Culver, Daniel Burka, and Shawn Allen. The four of them created a parent company that designs the software, which is called Megatechtronium. The software can be downloaded at: http://pownce.com/download/.
Pownce is still in Alpha stage. And companies will be able to buy advertisement space in the platform.
