As per Kevin's "starpower" I think alexa says it all
Notice the huge pop in pownce during week one and I bet 80% of those hits were users that couldn't even get into the system due to the invite limitation.
Notice the spike in Jaiku in April (time Leo announced his arrival?) but even with that Jaiku is at about 50% of the traffic of pownce. Does this mean it's a better system? No, not really, but it does show the star power Kevin has and the platform he announced the site on (diggnation podcast).
His ability to siphon traffic from one site to another is profound, as is Leo's. It makes many concepts an instant success just due to starpower alone.
From what I've experienced, pownce is very clean cut and the design is simple yet perfect. I'm not a fan because I like the RSS feed system, I can hookup my own and i can read everyone else's - it's like the perfect aggregate for news based on people I know and their own interests.
Pownce doesn't have anything another social network doesn't already do. I'll stick with it to see how it goes but I'm not confident yet it will really damage anyone else's solution (jaiku, twitter, etc.)

feast, as far as I can tell :-) All I did was develop a Drupal E-Commerce website that sells video games, and all of a sudden web designers are all over me looking for a site that "works like yours"
Granted, some of them don't realize the amount of hours I spent "for free" developing it, but still. I think I make more in contracting out then actually profits on the game(s)
