Pownce is one of the pioneer in Microblogging together with Twitter and Jaiku. Unfortunately they are no longer in business. I am guessing because a lot of people actually uses twitter. I am one that is different because I have always prefer other interfaces such as Pownce and Jaiku, then comes Plurk. I somehow like plurk interface but I am not a big time microblogger.

It is sad to see one of my account going away because I had friends there. I guess it has to go because they are not profitting and I am also seeing more and more people registering an account and getting thousands of friends then link back to their spammy homepage.

If you go to Pownce, you will see this:-

Bye Bye Pownce!

I have tried TwitterFeed for a few days and it seems to be great. I like the fact that you could publish your post into a micro-blogging platform, which is why I favour Jaiku from the beginning. It seems more precious to have Jaiku because it is now on invite only, and Google seems to have no idea what they are doing next. I hope it is some nifty new features which will benefit bloggers.

Basically, you could add your feeds to TwitterFeeds using a Open ID login (you may already own one ID). But you will have to expose your Twitter login and password. You could use more than one feeds with one Twitter account. It is another extra way I could publish my post. Although, I will stick with Jaiku on my right panel for now, I am giving Twitter another try. Pownce, another microblogging platform has also open up their registration for all.

There are more about the benefits of Twitter in Problogger where I found this TwitterFeeds. Also, I have won 1000 Entrecard credit from Problogger.
