Though to be fair, they are two completely different beasts in purpose. Twitter's original function was as a microblog only. I don't think the people at Twitter realized their own potential, and thus the Fail Whale was born. Plurk was created to create the social interaction options people wish Twitter had. And it's groovy. The one thing I am worried about... I have a (currently) running fiction piece on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/junkdnafiction), I can't just up and move. Moreover, I'm not so certain that Plurk has the right interface for my fiction. I think the side medical-graph flow would be confusing to readers. However, I have yet to try it. Who knows. By the way, I can't read the god damn Captcha below. I don't really believe there is a code there, I think it's all a ruse. I like Twitter, but I like Plurk better (at least for the time being).

While I like the animated, time-flow pluckiness of Plurk, I find Twitter more engaging, (for now anyway). With Plurk, it seems you have to actively participate to get the most out of it. It's a real-time interaction mixer, with the conversations moving before your eyes. There's pressure to keep up. With Twitter, I can come and go, and I don't feel as left out if I haven't checked in lately. I like how the ambient intimacy (http://www.disambiguity.com/ambient-intimacy/) found on Twitter is hard to beat. Interesting post.

The fan base is already rabid. I know I'm rabid, I've spent a total of 12 hours on the service in 2 days! I think Plurk should do well if the word can get out. The fan base is already rabid.
