I can’t help singing Tigger’s tune everytime I read about the name of this microblogging/social networking site.
The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber;
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is
I’m the only one!
After several days I got an invite, and immediately I signed up for it, just to know what the hype is all about. What I saw is a site that is in some aspects a ‘mashup’ of Tumblr and Twitter. Like Tumblr, you can post links, messages, events, and files. Like Twitter, it’s more suited to short posts, and you get to network with a lot of people and converse with each other on a particular topic.
Here’s my Pownce page. I just signed up as a fan of Robert Scoble and Veronica Belmont. Maybe I’ll add some more later.
There’s just one caveat. Until the time of writing, you can’t just sign up and start pownce-ing. You have to get invited or you wait in line for your turn to get invited.
