Rationalize your article all you like, it’s still done in poor taste.

Don’t agree, Zee,

Pownce offered long messages, images that showed up in posts, comments that showed up in full under the post, and for the aesthetic sensibilities among us, the cleanest looking templates going.

But, it was painfully slow sometimes, and that was it’s death. So, no, I don’t agree, and considering the Pownce team tried to make a good product, why trash them?

Sorry to hear your issues went unanswered. We offer Get Satisfaction topics and a direct email address for users to talk to us about their concerns and for me to log the feedback to distribute throughout the Pownce team. I did a quick look-through of our inbox and Get Satisfaction topics and couldn’t find your reports. Can you point me to where on our Get Satisfaction topics or when you emailed us with your concerns? That way I’ll be able to understand where we have gaps in our process. Thanks and sorry again for the frustration.

This post was pure troll bait if you ask me. Sure constructive criticism is more useful than sticking to niceties but that doesn’t mean everybody should be just plain rude.

Zee could have made the same points while staying civil which in most cases leads to more productive discussion. That being said he is a brit so he was probably drunk while writing this ;)

Wouter, agree on the failure as a way to learn. You can give this feedback to the failed entrepreneurs but no need to celebrate their failure.

Having said that, congrats to Zee for starting an interesting conversation :)
