I just joined Plurk. I have a couple of Twitter accounts–my personal one, which I never use–I find the whole layout too confusing, the symbols, how to search, who/how to follow, and a huge waste of time. I use Twitter as a tool for a class I teach, where my students all log into to the class Twitter account and complete an assignment. It works for that purpose just fine. But PLURK? I LOVE PLURK! It makes sense, it’s easy to navigate, you can find people, groups (cliques), you can search, it’s the hidden secret of microblogging/social networking! I’m thinking of changing my class’s assignment to PLURK, yes, I am!

It’s really amazing how the competition heats up at the last moments of victory. Plurk is alright, but Twitter holds a east to use database. Twitter all the way no competition hands down.

It’s just good for the site owners to make money… rest in my opinion if everyone uses one of them only, like myspace it will be better… you find your friends easier!

Awesome post Tamar. It’s funny because I have done a number of Twitter vs Plurk posts weighing the pros and cons of each, but I think you have it pinned. They are simply two different kinds of social beasts that should not be compared. Much like yourself I use each service for a different purpose.

[Tamar's note: Thanks Sohbetci--but I had to remove the spam links you added to the end of your comment.]

I or a friend posts a blog post of mine, I get a great deal of hits and comments from Plurkers. For me it is very easy to say that Plurk is a new favorite…
