One more reason to like Twitter more than Pownce
Posted on Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 by Nathaniel Payne
The way FriendFeed handles Pownce entries. I caught a tweet in FriendFeed that Jeremy Brooks cross-posted to Pownce. Note that there is a URL in the tweet. In the Twitter tweet, the text is plain, and the link is clickable. In the Pownce post, the entire text is clickable, but links back to the Pownce entry on Jeremy’s Pownce profile. So to visit the corresponding link takes two clicks: once to Pownce, and another to get to the website.
It’s not a dealbreaker, but I keep looking for reasons to use Pownce, and all I ever see anymore are reasons not to.

I don’t use FriendFeed, but I don’t see how one would like Twitter more than Pownce over that when viewing it via FriendFeed and not the Twitter/Pownce websites or clients. Would it possibly be something that needs to be fixed in FriendFeed?
I personally like Pownce more than Twitter because of the features Pownce offers over Twitter. Although I love Twitter’s tracking feature, something Pownce is missing.
