Eventually we all have to make some choices as there is so much on offer out there. Mind you "plurk" is hardly a catchy name, now is it? What you say about not having time is spot on.

Twitter is however getting a little spammy and noisy of late, I still find the conversation keeps me around....though maybe not listening as intently as I did before.

I also don't know how people can follow a huge amount of people on Twitter. Conversations definitely get lost. If there was something in the middle, that would be great.

The challenge I had with Twitter is when most of my connections have too much folks to follow themselves. There was less one-on-one conversation than it was before. It became more of a plugging type of service. I find Plurk useful for more intimate conversations and when you really need help from folks that are reliable.

Sounds like I might have saved myself some time for once. :) I didn’t start with Plurk as I just didn’t think I had the time for another social medium.

I too found it time consuming and frustrating. With twitter I feel like I can come and go as time allows but I found with Plurk that you really needed to be using it fairly regularly in order to keep up with friends, keep up with karma and so on.
