Pownce gets IMified
We think Pownce is really cool. So cool in fact that we did some digging around in their (unofficial) API to see if we could add some sort of IM support to the uber anticipated messaging app. Thanks to guys like Kyle Hays, Mike Taylor, and Clint Ecker, who discovered the hidden api and documented its login scheme, we were able to integrate most Pownce features into a new IMified widget. To add the widget just select the “My Account” option in your IMified menu and click the link provided to access the widget directory.
The Pownce widget will let you post messages, links, events, and sends IM notifications of new Pownce messages. Notifications are checked for every 120 seconds. To enable notifications, select the “Toggle Notifications” option in your Pownce menu.
As stated above, this widget was built on the “Unofficial” Pownce api. As far as we can tell the team over at Pownce isn’t restricting access to it, however they’re not encouraging developers to use it. A recent blog entry on the Pownce site says they’re working on an official API, but we just couldn’t wait to release the first Pownce addon (that we know of).
If you’ve got any suggestions for improving the widget, or if it’s just not working for you, let us know in the forums.
BTW, we have some Pownce invites. Leave a comment if you want one. We’re “IMified” on Pownce if your looking for another friend : )

[...] Une API (limitée) a été rendue publique il y a quelques semaines de ça, et IMified permet d’interagir avec votre compte Pownce depuis peu. [...]

Hey! Can I get a Pownce invite? I’m loving this new app–using it for Facebook would be SWEET.

[...] They don’t seem to have a bookmarklet as of yet, but a desktop widget is just as convenient…otherwise IM via IMified. [...]
