It appears as though there is yet another twitter like service on the web and it’s called Plurk. Twitter was down Sunday night; actually it was down pretty much all day and night. I got wind of Plurk and went on over there to check this thing out and it was kinda fun hanging out over there.



It looks completely different from twitter, pownce and jaiku, which is kinda refreshing. But all-in-all, it’s the same concept. However, there are a couple things that stand out for me in Plurk that I really like. 1) the way you respond to someone’s plurk is nice because you can respond to a plurk and see the trail of responses just by clicking on the initial plurk.



2) Plurk allows you to share photos and videos, but the cool thing about sharing the photo is when you add the photo url to your plurk, other plurkers can click on that photo link and view the photo within the plurk timeline.


Other than that, it’s your standard 140 character messaging service, but it is a nice alternative when twitter is on that downtime madness.

P.S. Twitter - I still love you, but when you abandon me with that downtime, I need something else to get my quick fix of 140 character messaging. Still friends????

P.S.S. Plurk Me!
