Plurk like Twitter, is a micro-blogging site. Although they both have similar functions, Plurk’s layout, organization & style provide users a considerably different experience.
Short Profile
Plurk was launched in May 2008 and is created by the A Team. Plurk’s goal is to create a fun, social, laid back and collaborative community that consists of genuine and positive people.
What’s Special
Plurkers are governed by a karma score keeping system to promote sharing and discussions. Higher Karma reflects you as a better plurker and also entitles you to more emoticons, which are widely used in the Plurk community.
Layout & Features
Unlike Twitter, which has a list layout, Plurk places your updates on a time line illustrated in the screenshot below.
Plurk gels all replies to respective updates together for easy reference and a better chat experience. This is something that Twitter might want to work on as we are often confused which tweets are @replies referring to. Plurk also has an interesting feature that conveniently connects your Plurk updates to your Facebook, Multiply and Twitter accounts; saving tons of effort to update each social media site manually.
