Recently I wrote when I quit using Pownce because of instability issues. So I thought I would give Plurk another shot. Now I didn’t really use Plurk when it first launched. . .but I did sign up to get the name ‘Four20′.

I looked over the service that first time and thought ‘what is this place’. An image of a dog without a head. . .what. . .why?

So the time line adds a nice kick to the entire experience. I like that the ‘plurks’ are threaded, so you can have a full conversation with your friends.

My favorite feature is the auto-refresh or the auto-update that the time line does. I was looking for something like that with Twitter(web app) and even tried the greasemonkey script but it messed the replies up. The ‘new plurks’ and ‘new responses’ that pops up in the bottom left are useful. . .though I could see a ‘new replies on plurks i’ve participated in’ being more useful.

The Karma system is interesting. . .but I think it could turn in a way to game the site. . .which could devalue the entire website.
