Plurk looks very cool, wish I had an extra hour a day to spend with it!

Don’t get me wrong. I like Plurk. I like the concept behind Plurk. But I don’t have time for it.

Of course, this is how I felt about Twitter at first, then I discovered if you changed the settings you can get constant Twitter updates via IM. Then I fell in love with Twitter and use it daily.

Maybe one day I’ll change my mind about Plurk… but, right now, I just don’t see myself spending that much time on there.

That's quite a tutorial on Plurk. I have been there a few times. But you know, time to do everything is limited. I do like it. But I think I like Twitter better out of simplicity and no need for a UI. Stephan Millers last blog post..Getting Closer to the Clouds

Plurk is really awesome!Though plurk is better when compared to twitter, the latter is still my favorite. Don’t know why!

I was a little late to the Twitter bandwagon, now I’ve got to check out Plurk! Thanks for the reminder.

Mark – hope we see this piece making the rounds. It’s a good overview and tutorial. Originally, I thought I was gonna Plurk … but then found it not only useful but fun.

I’m liking the look of it, seems they weren’t prepared for the traffic via TechnCrunch, and had some scrambling to do to fix it. About time those with traffic approached their blog posting with more social responsibility, and send a wee warning email to the developers.

Anyway, thats neither here nor there, it seems a good bit more organised than twitter, and more userfriendly interface wise. Definitely going to give it a bash.

I have fell for Plurk big time. At first glance, I was happy to hate it... But after digging deeper I found a great platform to lifestream with. I also like that its built on Python, one of my favorite languages. ThinkingSeriouss last blog post..Plurk Unleashed!

Nice write up – not sure what to think of Plurk yet. It certainly is more stable, but finding it hard to deal with following comments. The roll-over/click/scroll method to find all the bloody things is a PITA.

It’s about two days i’m testing it and it seems more spicy than twitter, it looks like a theme free irc channel chat.

btw i’ve also tested a little the api information that i was able to find, and it seems to be very easy to use, custom widget, email to plurk, sms to plurk are things that a php coder can code in less than a day (i say this because ‘ve just finished to these things).

I still think that the key factor of this new microblogging system, or better it could be consider like a little viral IM, is the karma scoring system that will allow you to increase your features only if you are a partecipative member.

Other key points? Mhhh at this very moment it isn’t crashed yet…

Two thumbs down. It's bloated, clunky, overfeatured, and what's up with needing "karma" to edit my profile??? The reason I love Twitter is simple... Twitterberry. How the hell is Plurk going to be simplified down to a tool that can be so readily accessible and as easy to navigate on mobile devices? Eric Odoms last blog post..Blog SEO Tips - Wordpress SEO

I really like the way plurk looks, although i just got my family on twitter about 2 weeks ago. so i’ll let ya’ll test it out and see if it’s all that and a bag of chips before I make the switch.
I’m not a hardcore twitterer, but the downtime has annoyed me so I can’ imagine you people that rely on crap like this to get the words out must feel.

Sorry for the double comment but, I agree with you on nested comments. I think it cleans up a ton of noise. On Twitter there are a ton of replies and you get lost in the sauce.
The devs of Plurk seemed to take good clues from both Pownce and Twitter. Now I would be blown away if you could share 10mb files on Plurk like you can on Pownce. That would make me 100% Plurk loyal.
