Hurley's World

I've been trying out a fair number of social networking tools lately and besides Facebook, I find my self using Jaiku and Pownce quite a bit. They both offer similar features, the ability to send a short message to your friends. However there are features unique to each one that makes them completely separate tools. Pownce focuses much more the social aspect of the site, you are able to make friends, group them, and share messages, links and files with just the people and groups you specify or with the whole world. Jaiku on the other hand seems to be a bit more of an aggregator at the moment. Unlike Pownce, I can add all sorts of RSS feeds to my Jaiku account and anyone watching my jaiku feed will get them.
