Webware had an interesting article on whether to go with Twitter or Pownce for your nanoblogging* needs.

The article's obvious answer was "whatever service all your friends are on".  Which makes a lot of sense.

For me, the obvious answer was Twitter - because I'm only going to update it frequently if I can text in my updates.

But then author Rafe Needleman hits me with the big gun, and realization dawns...

"...give Pownce a serious look, especially if you're thinking of using it in a work setting. With Pownce, you can easily set up a group of contacts, and use the service to keep co-workers up to date on what you're doing as well as the latest versions of documents you're working on. Also in Pownce, replies to particular nanoblog entries are easily tracked in their own threads, on their own pages. If something you write starts a discussion, it's much easier to keep track of what people are saying than it is on Twitter. Again, this is a great feature for business users."

Pownce is a business tool!!!

Agency wide info...No Problem!  Team updates...No Problem!  Place-independant access to working documents...Again, no Problamo!

And so now, it all makes sense to me (it might even make the IM clamor-crowd happy! Mmmmm...).

(Now we just need the agency Facebook up and we'll really have some crazy integration!)

*Twitter/Powce/jaiku = "Nanoblogs".  Well coined, mystery word coining person!
