Pownce On It!

Hey, if you like Twitter, you’ll also like Pownce. It’s a Twitter clone, though you can write more than just a few words into your entry. You can add files and stuff, too.
Pretty cool.
Plus, I found another site where you can update your entries at Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku, Facebook, MySpace, and Bebo all at once. Think of it as an OnlyWire for micro-blogging. It will be a real time saver. Oh, what’s it called? HelloTxt.com
I had a Blogging4Boomers call last night with Reed Floren. If you haven’t heard the name, then you’re not paying attention. Reed is an incredibly successful JV Broker, and I assure you, I’ll be contacting Reed when my next launch goes down.
Anyway, we got into a big discussion of Web 2.0 and how great it is for business. People who go into those sites spamming ads everywhere don’t get it. Web 2.0 is about building relationships with people online. As Reed described it, you wouldn’t go and buy golf clubs from someone you don’t know when your nephew is in the business. Right? You always buy from people you know and trust first.
Web 2.0 was a “What’s that?” just a couple of years ago and now, it’s like this huge network of people and the sites are dominating the search engine results. Think about it. When was the last time you searched for something and didn’t see Wikipedia?
All part of Web 2.0
Yet, I can see it getting out of hand, too. I read an article on someone’s blog yesterday that says, start with a rumor, add it to Digg and you have a recipe for disaster. People aren’t always factual. It’s like that game you used to play as a kid–Whisper. You tell the kid next to you something and they pass it on to someone beside them and by the end of the line, what was said by the first kid is all jumbled up.
I wouldn’t base my politics or my business on Web 2.0, but it is a great way to make friends and even get some traffic.
