Leah Culver on Pownce from JD Lasica on Vimeo. At Supernova last week I caught up with Leah Culver about her way-cool file-sharing tool, called Pownce (at pownce.com). It's a way for friends and co-workers to simply share their digital stuff in a social network environment. As it happens, Pownce celebrates its one-year birthday — today! I can't make it, but the Pownce birthday party is in San Francisco tonight. When I interviewed Leah, I got a tweet from Jason Pontin, editor in chief and publisher of Technology Review, telling Leah thanks for posing for the magazine's July-August cover. It's now out, with a cover story on social networks. Social Networking Is Not a Business.* Web 2.0--the dream of the user-built, user-centered, user-run Internet--has delivered on just about every promise except profit. Will its most prominent example, social networking, ever make any money? Here's our 6-minute interview on Vimeo. The Internet Archive seems to be having issues, so the version on Ourmedia won't play right now. And here is a Flickr set of Leah taken from the interview with my Canon HV20 hi-def camcorder.
