Pownce was a free social networking and micro-blogging site started by Internet entrepreneurs Kevin Rose, Leah Culver, and Daniel Burka.[citation needed] Pownce was centered on sharing messages, files, events, and links with friends. The site launched on June 27, 2007, and was opened to the public on January 22, 2008.[1] On December 1, 2008, Pownce announced that it had been acquired by blogging company Six Apart, and that the service would soon shut down.[2][3] It was subsequently shut down on December 15, 2008.[4]
