Pownce, the new nanoblogging service that doubles as a person-to-person file transfer product, is often compared to Twitter. Both products enable you to “nanoblog” quick updates on what you’re doing.

Pownce, just launched by a team that includes Digg’s Kevin Rose, is a file-transfer and nanoblog service that does absolutely nothing original: you can get file transfer from Tubes and from IM clients, and nanoblogging on Twitter and Jaiku.
