Pownce Tips

Tip 1: Check out your friends of friends.

Go to the Add Friends page and see who your friends of friends are. Most likely they're your friends too.

 

Tip 2: Turn on email notifications for Files and Events.

It's nice to know when someone is sending you a File or inviting you to an Event. You can change your email notification settings here.

 

Tip 3: Forward a note.

Did someone send you something cool on Pownce and you'd like to pass it along? Just click "forward" and send it to "my friends who haven't seen this yet".

 

Tip 4: Add upcoming events into your calendar.

Next to every event on your page is a link to download a ICS file. This makes it super easy to add any upcoming event into your own calendar app so you won't miss it.
