But I find that some of those using Twitter are forever comparing the two and somehow manage to come to the conclusion that Twitter (being little more than the unloved half-cousin of the Status update on Facebook, but with a smaller character allowance) is “better” than Pownce.

Rather than use Pownce for threaded chats, they bend Twitter all out shape and spread their dialogue across multiple tweets, which is just insane.

So now I just don’t like Twitter…

How are Pounce and Twitter going to not turn into AOL? You are an early adopter of technology. Most early adopters are not “AOLesque”, but as the mainstream market catches on to what the early adopters already use, the character of the social network changes. What used to be cool and elite is suddenly filled with average Joes, a la myspace or AOL.

(Now, on to what you were really saying…)
I keep noticing that you keep talking about this or that social networking tool, and you keep jumping from one to the next. But most users don’t want to have to use a million different sites/tools for what they do, they tend to find one site and stick with it. That’s why facebook is nice, because of the large population of the world using it, and the fact that it’s not able to be customized as much as the crappy, ugly myspace.

Facebook is turning into AOL (circa 1990s).

Why not just write a facebook extension?
