So when did Kevin Rose “Hate Club” start up? Who knows, but right now, the wonderkid of Digg is getting to be less and less liked. Beyond the thrilling uncov article on Pownce, where the word f*ck was used liberally to describe the service, or has Kevin hit his peak as a leader in the internet business realm?

Who knows, but uncov really does not like either Kevin or the new service, Mashible even notes that the “Kevin Rose Hate Club” has an open door policy on membership. And there is not want of people getting into the action. The internet’s bad boy with Digg and AACS, might have been the high point of his career. But then, anyone worth 60 Million dollars really isn’t going to care what the heck the pundits think.

He may be laughing all the way to the bank if Pownce takes off.

Moreover, the sniping that is going on at his heels really will not matter much in the longer run either.

While Digg is ok, there are some funny things going on over there, and just about everyone has noticed.

If people start to try to game Pownce, then that will be another issue.

But today, and probably for a while, the Kevin Rose hate club is in full swing, and that is what makes the launch of Pownce so interesting. When was the last time a hated person tried to launch a new service depending on users to make it happen? It has been a while, and that is what is going to make this interesting.
