Yeah, to me the beauty of Twitter is its simplicity and mobility. I don’t even use it on a mobile device, but the ability to receive updates on live events and from people on the go is great.

Pownce might be prettier and have some advanced features, but I dig the stripped down feel of twitter, and Tony’s right on the money in terms of the 140 character limitation. It “allows” you to throw short bursts of thought to a group of friends, which is fun and can be cathartic in building up to a full fledged blog post!

Another side of it is Twitter’s open API. Twittervision and Twittergrams and the community of sites and developers that sprang up around the Twitter service continues to be a huge part of its appeal. (Does Pownce have an open API?)

[...] Deep Jive Interests » Pownce Is Not Twitter, Nor Is It As Important As Twitter. I happen to agree with Tony Hung on this – Pownce is a slick new service, but it doesn’t do what Twitter does.

[...] I’m not with it when it comes new services like Pownce and Twitter, so it’s nice to see Tony Hung (Deep Jive Interests) talk about these in a little more [...]

Tony, I totally agree. I’d done a comparison a few days ago, but you summed it up a bit better. The user-base (Friends) is the killer-feature of Twitter at this moment.
