Leah Culver talks about being purchased by Six Apart, here.

I liked pownce, but never found a real use for it. None of my friends used it, and most of them would just use Facebook instead. I’m just wondering what the founders are going to be doing after being purchased? Will we see anything new from them or will they just be adding pownce stuff to Six Aparts current blogging stuff?
