I have also started working with Plurk, and I must say that is a good piece of software (webapp), but I can use some improvements.

Thank you very much for your article and I think that your information will be useful for my job. Before I and my friends we used to use Twitter for this functions. Now we have started to use Plurk.

You know I have heard a lot about these short messages called Plurks. As for me for all this time I’m still using Twitter. It was very interesting for me to read everyone’s different opinion. And I think you have chosen a perfect way to follow the events of the people that matter to you.

Cool article, but I like Twitter more Plurk. My friend and me don’t move to Plurk now.

I like Plurk, but I think my biggest gripe about the service is that there isn’t a way to import your Plurking Twitter contacts. Other than that, I’m really enjoying the interface.

I’ve just started Plurking but it’s making me think I’m too old for this stuff…

Interesting. I’ve been ignoring Plurk, but you made it intriguing. I may have to check it out.

Great overview! Interesting you didn’t really discuss the karma system. I think there are definite cons to using a points system to encourage user participation and activity. I think the biggest drawback is “low value” or spammy Plurks and friends requests as people try to increase their Karma scores. I still really enjoy this one and I’m eager to see how it does. Time will tell how well it holds up under the load of new users, it’s handled a pretty major influx this week with reasonable agility so I’m feeling positive.
