So with the recent issues I have been having on Pownce, I contacted their support(Ariel) and asked for a refund since they said they couldn’t fix the problem.

Pownce - The Anti Social Network
I thought it was weird when I first joined Pownce my account ended up being banned. I was ‘being social’. . .and then all of a sudden my account ended up getting suspended. I contact Pownce support, and Ariel tells me it’s because I ‘added too many people as a friend’.
Fast forward to now and [...]
Bye Pownce. . .Hello Plurk
Recently I wrote when I quit using Pownce because of instability issues. So I thought I would give Plurk another shot. Now I didn’t really use Plurk when it first launched. . .but I did sign up to get the name ‘Four20′.
I looked over the service that first time and thought ‘what is this place’. [...]
Pownce. . .I Give Up
Initially, I would say that Pownce is so jealous of Twitter. . .that they’re even starting to mimic them. Maybe it’s the route that I take to the Pownce servers. . .but at my trace route does complete.

Twitter: Outages Could Last Months. . .
I hope you don’t expect Twitter to solve it’s stability issues anytime soon. Even after being valued just under $100 million dollars.
Leo Quits Twitter. . .
. . .13 months ago? Even had his account DELETED. . .only to come back with viscous attacks to be the most popular Twitterer
The King of Twitter
I bet Jason Calacanis can’t believe it. Leo Laporte not only passed him on his way to #1. . .he also didn’t have to offer a MacBook Air to get a good chunk of his followers. To top it off, even Kevin Rose has 3,000 more followers than Jason now.
Congratulations Leo!
Pownce Admits Defeat?
I can’t be the only one that has noticed Kevin Rose getting the Twitter fever like everyone else. Is Kevin turning it’s back on Pownce. . .when Pownce first launched Kevin plugged it quite a few times on Diggnation. . .not so much anymore.

So this is my blog. This will be the place I go to write up random thoughts about random things. Most of it will deal with the internet or technology. . .since I am a geek. Just don't expect anything too exciting. . .
