Leah Culver on Pownce from JD Lasica on Vimeo.
At Supernova last week I caught up with Leah Culver about her way-cool file-sharing tool, called Pownce
(at pownce.com). It’s a way for friends and co-workers to simply share their digital stuff in a social network environment.
As it happens,
Pownce celebrates its one-year birthday — today! I can’t make it, but the Pownce birthday party is in San Francisco tonight.
When I interviewed Leah, I got a tweet from Jason Pontin, editor in chief and publisher of Technology Review, telling Leah thanks for posing for the magazine’s July-August cover. It’s now out, with a cover story on social networks.
Social Networking Is Not a Business.* Web 2.0–the dream of the user-built, user-centered, user-run Internet–has delivered on just about every promise except profit. Will its most prominent example, social networking, ever make any money?
Here’s our 6-minute interview on Vimeo.
