Plurk in a Twitter World & Why I Prefer Plurk
I’m a big fan of Plurk, a micro blogging platform, that is often compared to Twitter. It has basically taken me away from Twitter by fixing some of my big Twitter concerns. The more I use Plurk, the more I realize how many limitations and issues Twitter currently has.
Here are a few reasons why I like Plurk better than Twitter:
- Inline Replies – Keeping conversations together. This really makes it feel like a community of users and not just a string posts. In Twitter, when someone replied to a Tweet I put up yesterday, it was hard to follow the conversation. Plurk however, keeps everything together.
What happened to SpyMac?
I can remember a few years ago when SpyMac was all the rage. It was a very up-and-coming Mac community that tried to do everything and with style. Now it seems like a social media crash site.
I guess classic SpyMac is a better representation of what it use to be. It was a huge Mac community with pretty good web hosting options, free email with tons of space and a decent forum community. It seemed to have a lot of drive, dedicated people and a large user base.
