Seems there are not very many choices for micro blogging these days. Basically Twitter remains the only viable choice for micro blogging that has any chance of having a decent audience.

Barack Obama’s Inauguration will be the Mobile Inauguation. Most mobile carriers are estimating record number of text messages being sent on Inauguration day.

Wonder what the chance of micro blogging and social networks being overloaded is?

My money is on Twitter being overloaded and shut down at some point during the day.

If this rumor is true, looks like Twitter will emerge the victor in the Micro Blogging sector. And no I am not discounting Tumblr and a few others, but in the real sense of Micro Blogging there were only three sites, Twitter, Jaiku and Pownce.

The reason I said rumor is that I have yet to see an official release from Google stating that Jaiku is dead.

Pownce Shut Down

Not really surprised by the latest news that Pownce will be shutting down after being picked up by Six Apart. Pownce had some very cool features and a great interface and it is obvious that Six Apart realized that and went for the talent pool that Pownce has.

For Pownce users, we are very sorry the site will be closing. We welcome you to join us on Vox – Leah and Mike are there! – and we hope the Pownce and Vox communities can come together, just as the teams have, towards a better future. Source : Welcome Pownce team!
