Plurk - the horizontal twitter
Today, I learned a new word: ‘Plurk’.
Plurk is a new service for all you microbloggers out there. You can say it is a twitter/jaiku clone, but this one shows your Plurks(?) on a horizaontal timeline. Unique? Maybe. We find the same functionalities, like fans (followers_you), friends (followers_me), and the same amount of caracters you can use: 140!
New features: Instead of answering by posting a new plurk, you can reply on the post itself. There’s also something about karma. I’m not sure, but it seems you can earn emoticons???
The timeline presentation is nice, but I wonder wat happens if I follow more people (Don’t you, Robert?).
It reminds me of Twistory, a Twitter Mash-up by Tijs Vrolix. Twistory provides an iCalendar feed (think iCal, Google Calendar, …) allowing you to easily browse through your Twitter backlog… I guess Plurk does the same.
Read about on Mashable, and put your life on the line!
Enjoy!
