Another Twitter competitor — want an invite?

First came Twitter, then came Jaiku.

Now comes Pownce.

I’ve given away my invites, sorry.

Well, that’s not true. I have four left. (UPDATE: Now only one left, I’ll give that away in the morning).

I’m going to give them to the four people who write the best insult.

Not your usual kind of flame like “Scoble, you’re a dickhead.” My 13-year-old can flame better than that.

No, you need to have something worthy of Valleywag or Fake Steve to get my invites! Hell, you can even make something up!

Otherwise I’ll just hoarde them like the anti social person I’m becoming. Heheh.

Seriously, why do we care about this? It’s prettier than Twitter. It has more features than Twitter. And it was done by Kevin Rose of Digg fame (among a group of other cool kids).

But I’m getting tired of adding friends on all these social networks. I’m getting really anti social because of all of these things.

    I don’t care. This wouldn’t have been news 4 years ago.

    I’m not a jerk like this in actuality :P :

    Scoble stop being the whiney arrogant person you are about everything. There’s a rehab center out there for your problem.

    Or if your looking for a classic:

    Your mom blogs better than you.

    Judson: that’s pretty good. But I’m going with Dawn. She’s right. We need a more diverse audience on these things.

    Here we thought Britney Spears was an attention hound. Sheesh! I would rather watch another week of Paris Hilton drama than to see Scroble(izer…whatever that is!) stroke his own ego by asking others to give him the attention he thinks he deserves.

    The reality is the people who read your stuff, and even your close (real life) friends only associate themselves with you because they feel sorry for you. It’s like they are doing their “good deed”….giving the bum by the road a dollar or two, not for the bum, but so they feel good about the life they live…and how it’s better than the miserable bum.

    I hope you get it together before your child enters the world. What kind of role model are you really? Then again, maybe a new child will give you the motivation for life instead of this childish popularity contest.

    Ya, the contest is over ah? That means I don’t care about your stupid invite for a service I don’t want or need.

    Even though I’m too late on this I’d still like to say that you make Sen. Ted Stevens and President Bush look like geniuses when it comes to tech stuff.
    :P

    So much for blogger influence. Levy/Pogue/Mossberg get iPhones and all Scoble gets is Pownce invites.

    I just read comment No. 7 “You looked better on MySpace” – Actually, let me hit you with a much bigger insult:

    MySpace looks better than you!

    What’s up with that picture? Are you standing on some sort of platform?

    That’s about what I would expect since you used M$crosoft as a platform to launch your husky ass to a level of attention a walking talking BM like yourself should have only achieved in their own masturbatory fantasies.

    Plus I heard from Mike Godwin that your a Nazi.

    your monosyllabic journalism makes me cry tears of sympathy and want to start a “help special rob” fund and your style makes my band table9 look like grad A rock, which lets face it is about as realistic as a polished turd being used a royal center piece.
