Comparing Twitter and Pownce for payloads

Tuesday, March 04, 2008 by Dave Winer.

New development, now when I post a picture to Twitter from my iPhone, it also goes to Pownce.

We now can see, visually, the difference betw a messaging service that supports payloads and one that doesn't. Not saying one is better than the other, because this is still very much an exploration. But there are definite advantages to each approach. Please consider that before you beg anyone not to listen to anyone else.  

Update: I quickly added fields to the flickrToTwitter page to flow pictures to Pownce in addition to Twitter. Screen shot.
