Kevin Rose’s Pownce Gets Ripped a New Asshole

If you like Digg, you’ll love Pownce - wrong! It looks like the Digg community hates their founders newest foray into web apps. Nuggets of truth:

Pownce is a web service that lets you “share stuff with your friends”. Translated into non-retard speak, this means “a website where you can go to put notes and files and shit up for other users”. What was that? You remember FTP too? Yeah, from nineteen seventy-fucking one? Now it has pastel colors, and it’s invite-only.

Kevin, if you are reading this, this is the one line you really need to take to heart: don’t make me sign up for fucking Paypal to use your lame ass web service.

What The Fuck Is Megatechtronium? Supposedly that’s the company that develops Pownce. What, Hypercompuglobalmeganet was taken?

Sure, you could put a few mp3s up there, but without larger file sizes, it’s functionally useless. Oh, you can pay $20/year for the privilege of 100MB file uploads. Whoop-de fucking doo. They use Amazon S3 as a data store, which will cost you $1.80 to store a gigabyte of data for a year if you use it independently of Pownce. Overpriced much?
