Leah Culver wrote at the Pownce blog that the Pownce service will be shut down on December 15th. Prior to that date users will be able to export their data from Pownce to another system like Wordpress by visiting http://pownce.com/settings/export/. The blog of services provider Six Apart notes that two of the developers of Pownce will be joining the team there on Vox and that Kevin Rose as well as Daniel Burka will be advisers to Six Apart.

{UPDATE@2200UTC: The developer behind Identi.ca has a blog post up mentioning migration possibilities and Identi.ca possibly accelerating its growth in response. RSS inventor Dave Winer also has some thoughts}
