It to me has more of a sense of community, while on Twitter its kinda like everyone yelling at each other.... I dunno just my 2cents
I've found the mix of people, and their interests, on Plurk to be quite fascinating.
While the timeline might be off putting for some, it is conducive to conversation, and is probably one of the main reasons for its fast growing popularity.
Cheers
Plurk is really addicting, and the communication becomes almost similar to the conferences that we see in IM services..
I am just loving Plurk and its features.
I do have a hard time with the behaviour in Plurk - for example if I am replying to a Plurk and accidentally click outside the reply box, my response vanishes. These sort of behaviours need to be addressed, as well as the silly Karma thing which I completely ignore.
I am completley private in Plurk as the intimacy of my comments is something I don't want available to all.
pownce has a entire month of unstable behavior and a on and off API that caused some of pownce users to jump shift.
and while plurk may never catch up to twitter it is now third just after friendfeed and already bigger than jaiku and pownce. quite impressive for a service that don`t has a API or official desktop app but that was smart enough to have a good mobile version and a good widget.
of and have you checked that it got 10 sites dedicated to plurk related things?
Plurk has quickly become my favorite social connecting site, the interaction there is simply amazing. What is surprising is that less than 10% of Plurk users are teens. Perhaps even more surprising, there are quite a few users age 50 and up.
There are indeed a large group of knitters, but there are also a good number of early adopters hanging around. To me, it is the ideal mix for a site, techies and non-techies all hanging out and making friends. In fact, it reminds me a bit of when I first started at SU, where there was also an eclectic mix of people learning from and enjoying each others interests.
