I for one, would not want to install a desktop app... Why clutter up my start menu when I don't have to. “I’d argue the majority of users prefer a desktop app;”

Most web 2.0 heads do not know what a compiler is .

Pownce is not very useful and the fad will go away in few months. They need to learn to spell first, before offering new features.

While it still may be quite easy to get on, I still find it to be a turn-off and haven't bothered to sign-up. It’s also still invite-only.

Despite the fact that Pownce keeps adding more and more new features some of the very basics from any Web 2.0 application are just missing: RSS / Atom feeds. Yes, I do know you have got the Public RSS feed, but that is what I meant with "proper". A feed for every single type of notifcation you are getting already directly via e-mail, and a universal feed for your own profile. Unless Pownce provides some of that basic functionality, we would just continue to make use of "other" tools, even if they are not as powerful as Pownce could well be. Just my two cents...

I, as a regular loyal Techcrunch reader would request you to keep some consistency. Also, while posting about a company, a link to its site would be of great use. For example, in the above post, none of the links leads to Pownce.com which is little annoying. Thanks and keep up the good work, Raja Duncan,

I think websites itself are a giant API. Tools like iMacros or Kapow make it easy to connect to all of them. This approach is "good enough" for most uses.
