We've been trying to balance both privacy and user discoverability on Pownce to varying degrees of success since we launched the site three weeks ago. I just wrote a longish post over on the Pownce blog explaining our thoughts on this equilibrium. Thanks for everyone who gave us feedback on this subject.

Who am I?
Daniel Burka
I'm the creative director at Digg and I'm a partner at silverorange. I've also helped found Pownce where I design the UI.
I'm a newish San Franciscan and I play a little disc golf, fall off rock climbing walls, and kick soccer balls over the net.

This exploit of "social services" alongside with the increasing availability of mobile devices connected "24/24" a day are making more and more necessary clever ways to manage PRESENCE and AVAILABILITY of one person's persona.
Do you agree ?
Maybe I could write that in a more wordish way in a full post or a better comment, but I'm practically starving ... we'll see later !

I can't seem to comment on the post on the Pownce Blog. (?) Did you close comments after 21 comments?
I wanted to ask, have you considered the case of someone wanting to post a message, viewable by the public, but only notify a subset of friends? My impression is I have to choose between the two.
Daniel Burka - July 30, 2007 2:09 pm
Nate: I'll look into the issue with the closed comments. I know what you're saying about that desire not to ping all of your friends when you send a public message sometimes. However, I think we want to avoid making this too fine-grained. One of the benefits of the current system is that there aren't too many options... it's pretty complicated already to wrap your head around who will see a post and who can see a post. Adding that half-layer will confuse things further I'm afraid. So, I don't think we'll do it.... at least for now.
