I like instead the fourth "refined friends". Thanks to you and Heidi I discover Pownce Search. Good. :) I don’t like neither the “editors” nor the “omnibus” edition.

A lot of the time, there's stuff that gets posted (like movies, music or images) that you'd like to bookmark and come back to. Nice idea, Krister... That’s not a bad idea.

How about a "favourites" to bookmark posts you like? It could have the option of deleting them (a simple X next to each title) once you're done with them, so you can return to posts when you have time. Pownce is a design with potential.

It will be interesting to see how our approaches vary. Wayne,

BTW, based on the comment I made on your <a href="http://blog.case.edu/webdev/2008/01/16/homepage" title="ideal home page design article" rel="nofollow">ideal home page design article</a>, I'll be expanding that into an article, which will be about web design. Ironically, I've hardly written anything about what I do for a living — other than the SEO stuff. So this might be the right time... Heidi, thanks for the thorough comment!

I use <a href="http://www.powncesearch.com/" rel="nofollow">Pownce Search</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=010289705086050304887%3A3imqmrgzlpk" rel="nofollow">Pownce People Search</a> but a built in search function would be handy. 2. I soooooo very much need that editing function. Leah and Daniel talked about that in <a href="http://www.creativexpert.com/2008/01/15/pownce/" rel="nofollow">Alan's podcast</a>. (Give it a listen if you've not yet done so, they even answered one of my questions!) I got the sense that we'll see this feature. Regarding the revisionist history issue Daniel discussed the possibility of time-limited editing. I.e. Editing could be open for the first 10 minutes after posting, and then close. This way I could fix my typos, but couldn't edit a post from last month to purport that I knew LSU would beat OSU. 3. Pownce is definitely the center of my social hub. More and more of the people I add to Facebook, LastFM, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Flickr, etc. are fellow Powncers. Having the links to other profiles is fabulous, but if we could leverage this further, that would be cool. 4. Yes, we can create our own groups within our friends list, but if we could view/sort by some sort of tagging criteria that might be cool. One of the first things I did was look for fellow Clevelanders to friend. As it turns out I've made stronger connections with you folks scattered around the planet than those in my own backyard, but it would be good to post or read "Cleveland" or "Web Development" or something once in awhile. It would certainly be a good way to find more of the folks with common interests. 5. Interesting idea. I recall some of the listservs I used to read had an option to get either individual emails or a daily/weekly message that aggregated them all. I bet they could add some more options to this area. Great ideas as usual Wayne. Good to see you online Howard, I hope your work schedule calms down soon. 1. I use Pownce Search and Pownce People Search but a built in search function would be handy.

Hi, BTW! And thanks for the comment. I like the idea of Pownce as a hub, in the same Jaiku got very close to. Problem is, <a href="http://www.blahblahtech.com/2007/09/google-doesnt-get-social-media.html" title="Google don't get Social Media" rel="nofollow">Google don't get Social Media</a> or Social Networking at all...

I like the idea of Pownce as a hub, in the same Jaiku got very close to. Problem is, Google don’t get Social Media or Social Networking at all…

I especially like the social hub idea. I don't mind the none edit function. Since everyone knows that you can't edit, it is taken as a grain of salt if you make mistakes. Plus people pay attention, so if you correct yourself down the line, it will be noticed easily. I think you hit it right on the head. I especially like the social hub idea.
