Pownce Invitations

Posted on July 9th, 2007 by mohamed and tagged , .

There are two things that most early adopters were clamoring for this month: an iPhone and an invitation to join Pownce, which is the new twitter-like sharing service founded by Kevin Rose and friends. Invites to Pownce are so rare that apparently people are selling invitations on eBay.

I've been itching to get in - in fact, I was on the verge of sending Daniel Burka (the rockin' designer of Digg and co-founder of Pownce whom I met at FOWA earlier this year) an e-mail groveling for an invite (listen, I'm in the middle of the desert - the little things give me joy). In my quest for an invite, I IM'ed Morad:

me: do u have a pownce invite yet?
morad: pownce?
me:tsk, tsk...kevin rose's twitter killer
morad: oh that...didn't know he announced it yet
me: behind the curve...that's what happens when u leave web for two weeks
morad: I am sick! I need help!
morad: did you get invitation?
me: don't have invite - if i get one you'll be the first to get invited by me

I'm always pleasantly surprised at how networked Morad is. Unfortunately, he's had a back injury and has been out of the office for a couple of weeks. More painful is the fact that he has difficulty using his PC due to the pain. This of course, didn't stop him from rushing out and procuring an invitation and then getting me in.

Being in early has it's benefits - I managed to secure my first name (which happens to be very popular) as my screen name.

I've got a couple of invites now so if you're feeling geeky and want to play with Pownce, drop me a note. Also feel free to check out

hi, Mohamed
I just read your entry. I'm working on a twitter-like service in japan. If you could invite me in to Pownce, it really helps me a lot!

one other question, is there a limit to how many people you can invite?
