Why I Like Plurk More Than Twitter
I just love Plurk!
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind Twitter either, although just lately it seems to be down more than it’s up, and that’s not a great way to build confidence among users, especially with so many competitors arriving on the scene.
Quite simply, Plurk has taken a winning formula (microblogging in 140 characters or less), added more features and dressed it up!
I believe that Twitter will still do well, but of all the alternatives that have appeared so far, Plurk is a lot more fun.
That’s the keyword here: Fun! 
Plurk is more suited to conversation than the ‘Fail Whale’, and has a more relaxed atmosphere.
People tend to be friendlier, and more likely to respond to comments.
What do you think? Have you tried Plurk yet?

I agree. Plurk spells FUN! People interact on Plurk in a much more direct and continuous manner than on Twitter and you can see all the responses to a comment. This makes it easier to build a community of friends and followers. Now one can't wax too eloquent in 140 characters but then most daily conversation consist of short sentence interactions. (Well I do know some people that can ramble on forever – but not you Allan ;D ) So if you're more into social interaction than internet marketing, then I'd suggest you drop over to Plurk and sign up for some daily fun.
That's it 110% – fun! That is the ingredient that Twitter and others tend to be lacking, and I would call them colorless, and as dry as old chips! Umm, Don, you wouldn't be saying that I ramble, would you? Cheers mate!
For myself the quality of my experience in any network is the quality of the people you befriend or follow.
Some people are great sources of information and others just talk nonsense.
For example, from reading your blog I have learned about Plurk which I never heard of before. Good information.

G’day Jon,
I’m glad you liked the piece about Plurk, which to me is a great place to get to know other people and make friends, which to me is part of what networking is all about.
Giving and sharing is a vital part of networking, especially if we hope to receive benefits as well.
Cheers
