I'm not sure if a headshot was used or not. Heh, could be. I’m not sure if a headshot was used or not.

I see on your LinkedIn profile that you freelance for a lot of newspapers. Have you ever had a headshot for any of your articles? I think that might be why your face looked familiar to me, despite having never met in person. Off topic, but, I think I know where I recognized you from.

I think OpenID is coming close. Now, if there was a way to tie an OpenID ID, with 'YourFavouriteContactListManager' app, and allow the two to communicate with authentication to other applications, then there would be a great system.

Hopefully, someone will build an application that can do this in the near future.

I too am pretty embedded in a number of existing technologies that Pownce replicates...and am not about to drop them and move all my contacts to the 'next big thing'. What we really need is a universal profile manager, something that keeps all our info centralized, that we can just 'apply' to whatever application we want. ...and that is the holy grail of social media apps. :-) re: arts scene...not really. I spent some time at BioWare, and United Way, and before that was with ITV/Global TV doing tech stuff...so it's possible our paths have crossed. For more detail, check out my LinkedIn profile...feel free to add me if you're on LinkedIn...networking has its advantages. Hey Adam,

I received an invite, and setup an account, but I don't really "get" it. Maybe it's because I already use Twitter, but Pownce doesn't seem to be anything special, to me. Besides, everything I can do with Pownce (sending files, communicating, etc.), I can already do with good ol' fashioned email. BTW: Are you at all involved in the art scene in Edmonton? You look very familiar, but I know we've never met, so I'm not sure why I recognize your face. I tend to agree with you about Pownce, Brad.
