The fantastic team at Megatechtronium have launched their new app today, Pownce.
As I was lucky enough to get an invite on launch, I thought I’d throw a few screen shots on the site to show folks what to expect.
As you see the design is super slick, designer Daniel Burka has done an amazing job. There are currently 4 different themes to choose from and the work the same way as vox themes.
On the homepage you have your notes and notes from your friends, these are also marked in the corner with a little banner so you know it it’s public or private.
You have 3 options for sending notes. Simple text message, website link, file (up to 10mb, 100mb for pro users) or Event notification.
From there you just punch in the message, choose the audience; Public, All of My Friends or a specific friend and then you post the bugger.
Leah Culver has done a top-notch job putting together an app that’s fast and easy to use.
It’s brilliant as a social tool, since you can send files/events to all your friends and when new friends join they be able to see older messages, which for me is preferable to digging out an old email because I forgot to add a recipient.
Anyway, I highly recommend folks check this one out, the invite request form is on the homepage.

Nice screenshots! Some of the form inputs are still a bit funky looking in Safari 3 Beta, but hopefully we can get that sorted out a bit better when the Apple team gets a little further along with the new version. Cheers!

Yeah, it seems that Safari is attempting to allow CSS styling on drop downs, they just haven’t quite got there yet.

Very cool James. Any idea what the filesize limit is on filesharing? I haven’t read anything about it yet.
Can’t wait until they release their second round of invites so I can try it out

[...] In a nutshell, it allows you to send links, files and events to a selected people on your Pownce friend’s list. Kinda like a blog and an IM combined except it’s web-based and has some really nifty interface.. Right now, Pownce works by invite-only, and after you receive your invite you’ll have to sign-up for an account. It comes in two forms – the web-based and the Mac/PC desktop client(which utilizes the newly out Adobe AIR). At the moment it’s free and as usual, you can opt to go for a Pro account taht goes with an annual fee. More screenshots of Pownce can be found here. [...]

Are the beta testers given invites to hand out?
I’d be willing to trade an invite to Oink (high-quality private music torrent tracker) for access to Pownce.
