the disappearance of pownce and other social networking sites
The demise of Pownce was inevitable. I signed up a year ago, and it was fun for a week, but none of my friends were using it. Maybe a couple, but not enough. It had a slick interface, you could share music files in posts, and seemed like it could be fun, but the web doesn't exist without your virtual friends. With the downturn of the economy, smaller social networking sites like these are shutting down, but Facebook will remain strong because its been around for a awhile and people have gotten used to it. Once people get attached to some social networking service by virtue of its sustained existence, it doesn't die easily. By now, virtually ALL of my contacts are in Facebook, and it functions as a durable address book that... I can't live without.
