thats great that you are talking about the twitter api,a good example of searching with the twitter api is on twiogle.com because you can search on twitter and google at the same time.

Ajit, your comment is a bit misleading and makes me wonder if you’re just looking to build traffic to your new site and blog post.

“I am a user of both Twitter and Pownce…”

Are you really an active user of Pownce? It closed down months ago, which you somewhat acknowledge later in your comment when you advertise your new site.

Note how my article was written in 2007. Yes, I do feel that your comparison at this point is a moot point and your determination that your post provides a “more useful comparison” is also rather pointless at this stage of the game. That said, I edited your link so it’s not clickable.

Hi there. I just now came across this article. I am a user of both Twitter and Pownce and don’t think a comparison between the two really works. To me it’s like comparing a window to a door. They are both on a house, but which one is better?

We created a new site for people who miss Pownce called Schmownce (http://schmownce.com).

Also, I wrote this article, which I think is a more useful comparison: ajitfoldsfive.tumblr.com/post/71266576/what-was-the-deal-with-pownce
