Braindead Pownce and braindead developer get bought

Pownce, the failed twitter clone, was purchased yesterday by Six Apart. The side effect of this merger is that I’ve lost some respect for SA, especially considered they just bought a shitty useless service made by a shitty developer whose only worthwhile attribute is that she’s an OMG cute girl, and that they made this purchase on the heels of a layoff.

Granted acquisitions take time, and I’m sure this was in the works for months before the layoff. Then again, they probably only had to wave a few hundred dollar bills in Leah Culver’s face before she sold out her community.

So, pownce is gone, finally, after being one of the biggest piles of Web 2.0 shit yet, and Leah moves on to fuck up TypePad et al. I can’t wait for her blog post of “hehehe OMG how do i create perl lol?”

    That’s hillarious! But, the main reason for this comment is to tell you that either you have a CSS error or my browser sucks. The textarea in which I typed this comment expands a little into your “What I’m Doing…” side area. I’m using Chrome 0.4.154.29. I looked at it in Firefox 3.0.4 and it does the same. I use a 1280 x 1024 resolution. Fix it boi!

    P.S. Here’s some proof:
