Kevin Rose, the co-founder and chief architect of Digg, a hugely popular news site, announced in late June the introduction of Pownce, a social-networking service that combines messaging with file-sharing. Mr. Rose immediately endowed his latest venture with some mystique by declaring that, for the time being, only those with invitations would be permitted to test his new site.
It is the combination of private messaging and file-sharing that makes Pownce so novel.

Hmmm, wonder what kind of files people will share? Sounds a bit dicey to me. As soon as people start sharing movies or music, the media company lawyers will "pownce" on the site...

let's hope this doesn't get like the P2P sites and the torrent sites.

Pownce, twitter, yappd, they are all the same to me. I will be really interesting to see which will be the startup that will pull the most attractive features out of the hat.
