TOP 10 Yay PLURK Nay TWITTER Reasons
Plurk is rocking the social media scene of late and for good reason! Twitter is cool and I’m sure there will be many other twitter clones but to label Plurk a clone is simply outrageous. Looking back on that last sentence I wrote would you believe I signed up for Plurk almost exactly 24 hours ago?
Plurk fittingly has peace love unity and respect written all over it from the get go but that’s enough of the hippy stuff. Doesn’t matter whether it was planned or it was simply a short brandable domain that became available. I’ve heard in the plurkosphere it’s a cross of “Play and Work”. Whatever it is they have hit the big time with something that’s bound to become a blockbuster. I can’t see how it won’t.
What Are The Top 10 Reasons To Say Hello To Plurk?
1) Everything is organized on a graphical timeline. It is quite easy to interpret and makes things relatively easy and clear to follow.
2) Three different options for viewing the timeline of plurks. You can switch between everyone’s plurk’s, your plurks, or your private plurks. You’d naturally want to spend more time answering comments on the plurks you started out of respect for the people plurking. Also I would hope it’s a conversation on a topic you find of interest.
3) It has CLIQUES! That sounded bad I know but it’s just a fancy word for group. Now you can follow everyone and anyone until they spam you and if they are someone you are interested in hearing more from you can chime into that clique. So I went to check it out and the below quote is direct from plurk.
“Cliques make it easy to send plurks to a group of people. You can even filter your timeline via cliques.”
What’s even cooler is you can message a whole clique at a time? Maybe that is why there is a difference between a fan and a friend? Some people are more sensitive to perceived spam then others.
4) Each new “Plurk” is an individual thread. A dialogue that you can track on a timeline. Imagine writing about something of interest and coming back later to find an active conversation on the topic? Since I have only been a member for a day can’t confirm how long you can go back but I’m hoping a while.
5) You can easily share all types of media such as images, videos and links. The images and videos appear as clickable thumbnail; very cool.
6) It has a karma system. I’m not going to write much about it as I have no clue how it works and I have no clue when it updates except that it’s apparently not in real time.
7) You can talk in third person with a slew of choices to choose from that are also color coded. This will help the dedicated plurker know your mood simply by the color of your action. Items currently are things such as wishes, feels, has, says, is, thinks etc…
8) It’s still in the early adopters phase. As of 10:55PM June 5th 2008 the search term “plurk” on google brought up 59,300 results; “twitter” was 68,700,000. On the compete bar it showed 31,000 as the people count. I mean it probably/easily had more people then that register today alone. It’s in its infancy and now is the time to discover it. Imagine finding twitter 12 or 16 months ago?
9) It has emoticons. Whether you’re a high, moderate or low emoticon user / lover it’s good to have. It’s so easy to convey the wrong tone on email where you can write a book let alone 140 characters!
10) It has a built in top 10! It’s “intresting pluckers” features the top 10 users by karma and also lists the latest noobs who are always looking for a friend right? It also has 10 features worth mentioning for this and MANY more.
This may come across as a twitter bash which I guess it is sorta. I still like and plan to use twitter it’s just Plurk took a good idea and made it great.

I’m a big fan myself. So big in fact, I slipped in my PLURK invite URL into the URL field of this blog, so clicking my name up there will give me a pretty star if you sign up.
That sounded really lame. I love it so much and I don’t know why I am so addicted. I mean WTF! Why do I even care about a pretty little star? Can’t explain it. I just love it.
It’s Twitter on METH and ACID.
I find Plurk strangely addictive. That, and Twitter is broken half the time.

I’m totally liking it too. I think people are a bit more frisky and laid back on plurk and also more open to discussion. I can plurk something and get 20 responses in a minute whereas with twitter I’d get maybe 5 if I’m lucky. I’ve heard it said that ‘twitter is work and plurk is the party’ and that ‘twitter is a gateway drug to harder things, such as plurk’. I’d agree with both.
Btw, I did the same thing Hooley did… click my name below, sign up and you’ll automatically become my plurk bud ;)
Way to stay busy on Plurk downtime :)
Haha I was just sitting in Court and wrote a pros/cons of Plurk v Twitter out in the back of a notebook (gawd, I felt like I was back in highschool!!!) but you beat me to a post! LOL I’ll just have to ping/trackback ya with my own ;)
I’m a big twitter fan. I’ve never heard of plurk before. It’s down for maintenance right now, but will have to check it out later.
Thanks!

I can’t help but giggle at this:
“Plurk is currently unavailable. We are working on bringing the site up again. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
One of my biggest complaints with Twitter is that every time I want to really get into it, they’re full of errors, glitches, and downtime. My first time exploring Plurk and I get an error message, lol.
Hey Rob,
For me Plurk & Twitter just joined a long line of addictions I have. And quite frankly, I’m proud of my addictions. but thanks 4 the analysis of the two, it certainly helps to look at T & P from another perspective.
Interesting coincidence, it was about 24 hours ago that I joined Stumble Upon.
I thought it would be nice to surf through my link exchange list and do reviews, however that might help.
How disappointing it turned out to be finding that you’ve dropped my link; or made it impossible to find.
Hi,
Thanks for the post!!! Just now I have signed up with Plurk and added you as my first friend. Once again thanks for sharing your knowledge…
I’m still doubting Plurk, and sticking with Twitter. I guess I’m too lazy and I’m sticking with the simpler service. I did sign up for Plurk though, but again I’m too lazy to figure it out. Besides, I have no contacts that are on Plurk. If I have a wide variety of friends on it I would surely use it more often.
I can’t wait to try Plurk! For advertising I currently use Google Adwords along with Glyphius but I am defnitely going to give Plurk a try.
I really wish I would have found plurk sooner than last night. It’s so much better than twitter. I mean twitter is ok I guess but this goes from just status updates like twitter to full socializing with other bloggers and friends. It’s alot better and appeals to me so much more.
This blog Is very informative , I am really pleased to post my comment on this blog . It helped me with ocean of knowledge so I really belive you will do much better in the future . Good job web master .
