For some weeks I’ve been trying out two of the most popular micro blogging tools around: Twitter and Pownce (anyone needing an invite just head here), but from the very first day with Pownce I noticed one major problem: the lack of a public API. Why is this important? Because it lets other programs connect to your application. Again, why is this important? Because let’s other people work for by implementing an endless list of applications, Twitter got this right and now has an endless list of tools and mashups (just like flickr or del.icio.us).
Now that Pownce finally has an API lets see how it stands against the competition, but for now Twitter is definitely the way to go.
