My name is Joshua D. Duffy. I live in Minnesota. I love the internet. I also like Pownce. So here is MY Q&A. This may ruin me, or make me an ‘Internet Superstar’.. We’ll see..

Wownce: What’s your Pownce story?

Joshua Duffy: I was a nothing on the internet. Wait, I still technically am, but anyways. I was lucky enough to get into Pownce by lucky of the draw. I literally submitted my email address on, I think, July first, and I was Powncing by the 6th. So you could say that I’ve sort of bonded with Pownce. I now send messages back and forth with one of the founders, Daniel Burka, and I started this site so I could talk about my social networking love affair with Pownce.

This is part two of our Q&A email with Mister Daniel Burka himself. He’s quite the spiffy guy too!

You can read part one here

Enjoy.. But not too much.. because that’s never fun, is it?

Wownce: Where do you see the internet in two years?

Daniel Burka: This is a tough one. I really hope that in the next two years we’ve solved some of the problems that continue to plague the web. Having a single profile and login, which OpenID has some potential to do, would be a massive improvement. Developing a method to have a single set of contacts who you can share across social networks in a nuanced way is also a tough nut to crack that many people are working on from many different angles. Overarching, I finally am feeling more confident about the mobile web – people have been anticipating the mobile web for a decade in North America and it’s only now becoming believable.

Q&A with Leah Culver!!

April 15th, 2008

 

This is Wownce’s Q&A with Leah Culver.. She’s definitely the funniest so far.. Enjoy.

 

Wownce: How did you first become involved with Pownce?
Leah Culver: Last winter I was playing around with building Django apps but didn’t really have much direction. I knew I wanted to do something around online communication but Pownce really came together when Kevin and Daniel got involved. We were already friends so it was easy to work together.

April 13th, 2008

 

This our Q&A with Miss Ariel Waldman.. The star of the Pownce Support Team! Enjoy.

Wownce: How did you first become involved with Pownce?

Ariel Waldman: I met Leah Culver shortly before I was planning to move to San Francisco and we discussed some of Pownce’s current needs and how I might be able to fulfill them. It turned out to be a great fit and I really enjoy working with such an awesome team of people.

This the first half of the questionnaire that we sent to Daniel Burka (Pownce Co-Founder and Designer). Look for part two in a few more days!

Wownce: How did you first become involved with Pownce? 

Daniel Burka: I’ve been involved in Pownce since the idea was first germinated. Kevin had some ideas for a project, Leah had some ideas for a project, and both of them asked me to keep those ideas secret until things could be further flushed out. Well, those two ideas started to get more and more similar, so I suggested Kevin and Leah get together and see if they should be merged. We all had very complimentary skills, so developing something together just made sense.
