又一家Web2.0网站倒闭:Pownce


Pownce是类似于Twitter的服务,在推出时受到无数人的追捧。而今天收到Pownce的邮件,表示12月15日将关闭服务。以下为邮件全文:

We are sad to announce that Pownce is shutting down on December 15,2008. As of today, Pownce will no longer be accepting new users or newpro accounts.   

To help with your transition, we have built an export tool so you can save your content. You can find the export tool at Settings > Export.Please export your content by December 15, 2008, as the site will not be accessible after this date.

Please visit our new home to find out more:

Our thanks go out to everyone who contributed to the Pownce community,

The Pownce Crew

Pownce被Six Part收购,也算是不错的一个结局吧。目前,在美国,Twitter已经成为最受企业及组织机构喜爱的社会化媒体,Pownce面临的压力的确够大,而选择卖掉是相当明智的。

Pownce Acquired by Six Apart

Pownce has been acquired by the blogging company Six Apart, the makers of Movable Type, TypePad and Vox. To find out more about the acquisition please read the announcement by Six Apart CEO Chris Alden, and the announcement by Pownce Founder Leah Culver.
