This is great – I’ve picked up that many ppl seem to be battling to make a distinction between the different apps. I think your point about Pownce being a more flexible messaging service puts things into perspective for me. I’m currently investigating it based on your recommendation and I do feel it has a wider range of services available. I’m suffering from ‘partial attention disorder’ (btw I’m in awe of your ability to keep up 🙂 ) but like you, I aim to try out as many social web services as possible so that I’m up to date. For me the main challenge is to find a consistent use for each while trying to balance my life – in between facebook, twitter, pownce, friendfeed, e-mails, IMs, RSS readers, work and friends and family it becomes pretty difficult!

At the moment I’m throwing myself into as many tools as possible in order to find the right use for each and then stick with selected ones that I know I can balance and control and use responsibly and productively. What I’m trying to assist people with is choosing the service that works for them, that adds value, boosts productivity and ultimately manages time (basic RSS readers are a good case in point.) I have seen how you’re using each one differently, I’ll stick with it and see what happens.
