We’ll be closing down the main Pownce website two weeks from today, December 15th. Since we’d like for you to have access to all your Pownce messages, we’ve added an export function. Visit pownce.com/settings/export/ to generate your export file. You can then import your posts to other blogging services such as Vox, TypePad, or WordPress.
1. No export of relationships
2. No way to leave a forwarding address

A NEW PLATFORM WAR

“The Internet was built without a way to know who and what you are connecting to.”
—Kim Cameron, Problem Statement, The Laws of Identity

Identity
“My account has now been held hostage for a week,” another reader wrote. “Some of my friends think that I have deleted (my profile) or even blocked them... None of my friends or family can see my profile or even find it in search. It’s as if I simply deleted my account or blocked all of them from seeing it without even a word.”
