People actually respond rather than contemplating giving their thoughts like on twitter and then feeling there is some kind of economy of posts like there is with characters.Much better for instant gratification I'm finding.Anyone who would like to join please use this invite! tee hee http://plurk.com/redeemByURL?from_uid=10549&check=-549016863&s=1 I find the conversation go much further on plurk.

All my non-techie friends have migrated to it as Twitter has failed and are happily using it, so now I find regularly on Plurk.Don't let the timeline hold you back either, the mobile version is Twitter like and there has only just recently been an API so we should see more tools soon. In the mean time try my little Plurkair desktop app <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/1230/plurkair-a-basic-open-source-desktop-client-for-plurk/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, it's fairly basic, but it brings the mobile client to the desktop for easy use, and it's delivered me accessible Plurk access (indeed that's why I put it together) It’s Twitter for non-techies, least that’s the feeling I’ve gotten.

SMS and twhirl are big reasons why i still tweet regularly. i’m a little bit of a plurk devotee. like Mack Collier said, plurk is like twitter with more conversations. … or like pownce with less complexity.

karma — and whether you gain or lose it — is designed to encourage some behaviors (participation, friend making, interaction) and discourage others (over-plurking, friend whoring).

and yes, i also like that the development team rapidly develops features, is responsive to feedback, and has a notification system in place (plurkbuddy).

friendfeed has *too* much noise for me. following my friends’ friends is overload. haven’t investigated how/whether to turn that off.

i do think plurk would take off with an API, SMS, and some desktop clients. SMS and twhirl are big reasons why i still tweet regularly.

But Twitter is sort of the Google of the microblogging buisness. Its very simple.I am 16 tho... still i feel kinda unwelcome here right now, since people are like: Plurk is twitter for the Junior high "lot" :(I also like that Plurk is opening for their users to translate. I signed up to translate to Norwegian. Then i can invite my friends. :)In short: Twitter: Most comaptible Plurk: Best interface Pownce: Picture and file uploading :) Put them together: Perfection!
