Pwned, as described by the app's developers, is a monitoring program that allows hardcore gamers and owners of an iPhone / iPod touch to view their friends list and profile, chat with other members using the Shoutbox and view which friends are currently on Xbox Live and Steam. Available for free download through the App Store, Pwned.com's first iPhone app will permit each user to view their own profile notifications and see what their friends are up to.

According to Pwned.com, the application focuses on giving gamers what they want, just like the site itself. Basically, users will have everything at the touch of a fingertip, being able to see which of their friends are online and what game they are currently playing. As Pwned.com puts it, “The app focuses on the gaming aspect of the social network. If the user can't access their gaming system, they are still able to hang out with the members via the site Shoutbox.” Also worth noting is that new Pwned.com members can register right from within the application, here.

Application Features include: New User Registration; View User Profiles; User Notifications; Shoutbox; Friends List; Friends List showing who is playing on XBox Live and what game they are playing, and Friends List showing who is playing on Steam and what game they are playing.

Launched on December 3, 2008, Pwned.com has been created by real gamers “who just wanted to build a place for everyone to enjoy and play games with others who play the same games,” according to the site's description.

“While the gaming industry constantly grows larger everyday, we offer a place for any type of gamer to connect and learn about the latest and greatest as well as the classic and epic,” the people at Pwned.com say. “With our various features of interaction with other members, we are pioneers in connecting the gaming community in one place. Members can earn Pwned Points through various activities including viewing and interacting with user friends, uploading pictures, rich media, posting game reviews and blogs, participating in polls and creating clans. Pwned Points may be redeemed for cash, video game consoles, iPods, video games, etc,” Pwned.com explains.
