Yes, I want to give them away. I am not that hooked onto Pownce because I think it’s redundant, to me at least. My friends and I use Jaiku, Facebook, Gmail, MSN and Skype, so I don’t see any reason to use Pownce nor any reason to persuade them to use Pownce, especially when most of their features can be replicated via the above mentioned services.
But that’s not stopping me from giving it away. To you. So here’s the deal. The authors of the first 6 constructive criticism (comments) about any aspects of my blog will get an invite in their mailbox. I’ve been blogging for about 3-4 months now and would love to hear a refreshing take on my regular writings, style, blog design or whatever else which relates to this blog that tickles your fancy. Besides, giving it away just like that is just too easy.
So shoot away…really.
[Special thanks to Joakim for the Pownce invite

Interesting blog, maybe consider adding a “Digg It” button in addition to the Stumble it! and Del.icio.us it! buttons to attract more visitors. Thanks for the invite!

Change your name and blog domain so that I get more Live/Google juice for your name
How is that for constructive criticism?

Ooo.. Criticize and get pownce invite!!..
I’d say you right column is too cluttered. You could do with some better partitioning of the contents. Stuff like trackbacks can be removed.
OK done. So do I get the invite? :p

Nothing to criticize, keep up the good work. Karma-advice: give cred to the guy who got you into Pownce in the first place…
Hows THAT for a shameless plug

Guys, thanks for the feedback!
So sent, sent sent and….. Joakim, you invited me to Pownce! Do you still need an invite?
@NTT - Removed the recent trackbacks like what you mentioned.
@Sriram - Game on! It’s a race to the finish. I am number 8 in google.se and number 7 in google.com

Well since you asked for it, white text on red on maroon is causing problems to my already troubled eyes
