I don’t know what to think about this, I got home from work the other morning and was checking my Gmail and read this

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 new
pro 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.

After reading this a little more, I found out that Six Apart has purchased the whole Pownce operation. The Pownce technology and the people that built and maintained the service/app all are a part of Six Apart. There really aren’t any details of what the plans are but if you read the blurb of this news over at Six Apart, I tend to think that Pownce will be incorporated into the VOX blogging platform.

I remember trying out Pownce when it first launched and I thought it was cool but to be honest, I never really used it mucha after that initial trial run. Hopefully we will see something exciting come out of this little transaction.
