Schmownce vs. Cyndle

In light of SocialKloud’s closing, I’ve created accounts on its two main competitors: Schmownce and Cyndle. On first glance, Schmownce is more fully-featured and mature than Cyndle. Schmownce can post text, links, files, and events, just like SocialKloud and Pownce. Cyndle can only post text (though URLs are detected as links, just like Twitter and SK).

However, Schmownce has an annoying bug at the moment: the userpic associated with a post is the one you were using when you posted it. If you change userpics, the picture and for some reason also the post’s stand-alone page will be broken.

Cyndle also has a more interesting black-and-orange theme than Schmownce’s elegant and respectable black-and-white. Cyndle is also run by teenage furries, if that makes a difference either way.

RIP, SocialKloud

SocialKloud, like Pownce before it, has closed down. I’ve bitten the bullet and created an account on Schmownce. If I can remember the name of the other Pownce clone, I may try it out, too.

SocialKloud is dead. Long live SocialKloud.
