I felt like Kevin's role into Pownce was a little superficial. Understanding that he has no programming skills, and Leah developed the concept herself, it is almost like Kevin was asked to step in as a poster child for Pownce so that Leah could get some serious users.
Stepping away from all of that, I believe that Kevin is becoming more and more consumed by his Digg baby, and doesn't have the time that he used to have to back all these projects that he "diggs". I think in the next few months, the community will see where Kevin's heart is and we will soon understand if Kevin still has his eye's set on Pownce.
