I don't have many friends who know what Pownce or Twitter are... and I have a hard time convincing them to try it out. I would like to be able to search out "new" friends on Pownce, by their location. Would anyone else find this helpful?
I want to see a feed of all notes from everyone on my friends list and everyone I'm a fan of. Like how the public feed is, except instead of everyone on pownce, it's just the people you're specifically interested in. Is there no way to do this?
I visited my page many times without logging in, and no notes were public. Today I disabled Fire Eagle and all my preexisting notes went public! I set it so that all future notes default to friends only. And the few I've made since have worked properly. How can I switch the privacy on all my existing notes without deleting them?
Since I'm a featured user, I've got a lot of friends requests and a lot of subscribers. I know that subscribtions have been set up for people who are kind of afraid by the "friendship" notion.
But sometimes these people are really interesting, and the only way to see what they post is to browse the entire list of fans.
By adding a link to the Pownce page of the subscriber, it will be an easy way to access his notes and add him (and it could reduce the time I spend on browse the entire list of fans). Now, The e-mail only displays the name of the guy who has subscribed...
On my Pownce home page, I get a notification of having a friend request, but when I click on it, I'm told that I have no friend requests and it won't go away.
I have invited two of my friends, but the mails never arrived. On my "invite your friends" page it says that I've invited them, but they say they never got a message. Hot to spread the work if I can't even invite somebody?
I have been trying for the past few days to get Pownce to update itself, but it hasn't been working.
On Saturday, even, I heard nothing all day, until around 5PM (EST), when I received many messages at once from the entire day. Since then, however, my Pownce page hasn't been updating (even on different machines, even when I clear the cache). I've heard reports that others have posted messages, but that they don't show up for their friends until that friend visits their page.
The desktop client, as well, doesn't seem to update or show new messages. Again, this is on multiple machines.
Other friends of mine are reporting the same issue. Is anyone else having this problem, or am I just crazy?
PLEASE! someone please make "mass cancel" friend requests -
or to put it another way - get rid of all people i am a fan of.
because of the pain in the head issue that people are experiencing here:

it would be wonderful if pownce had some MASS edit modes for those of us with lots of friends and lot's of people we are fans of....
I have my 'friends list' set to be only viewable by my current friends. I want to keep others on pownce that I may have issues with from seeing my list.
That works out fine until I realized that anytime I post a public note, anyone who clicks on it to read it, will find my 'friends list' to the side of the note.
With that being the case, I'm assuming I can't really hide my list from anyone.
I signed up for pownce so I could see all my friends' notes on one page. Only problem is, there is no easy way to see public notes and private notes from my friends at the same time. I may as well be logged out, because there is no obvious navigation to get to my friends' public pages either, which is where all the content is. As a user who is more interested in keeping track of my friends' notes than posting them, it seems there is no motivation for me to have an account. Am I missing something? I tried looking for a setting to change the public notes as viewable, but I couldn't find anything.
If it is a matter of only being able to see future notes once I've signed up, then it would be great if you guys could change it so past posts show up as soon as you friend someone. That way users will feel like they've actually gotten something once they've signed up and added friends, instead of just a blank page like I've had for the last week.
I was thinking it'd be good when sending files, links or events, to be able to not only send to Pownce members in your friends list, but also a set of email adresses. These would then read like
"(member_name) has sendt you a file/link/event on Pownce! Click here(link) to retrieve it"
This link would then lead to the registration page where they would sign up for Pownce/log in with an existing account if they have one in order to see their sent item.
This would, naturally, not be effective until the invite-only clause is lifted from Pownce, but when it is, this is a great way to get people to join!
I was going through and adding people who had "fanned" me a friends and found that any public posts they had that I *could* see prior to adding them as a friend became the following once I friended them:
"Nothing to See Here...
%username hasn't sent you anything yet." (%username = their user name)
Okay, i dont have any contacts within the services from which i could import friends AND none of my friends are using pownce right now - is there a way i can send messages to them ? (or add them as a friend without forcing them to signup at pownce)
Is pownce still useful for me to send messages to friends under the given circumstances?
