Firstly, I just wanna say that this is all based on my personal opinion and I do not mean to offend anyone out there. Secondly, twitter sucks. (I repeat, I do not have anything against twitter! It's just that... it sucks!) So I gave them both a fair chance (honest!), made an account on both twitter and plurk, and I prefer plurk! It's just that in twitter, you get confused when other people who follow you comment on your 'twit's (?) (what I meant is whatever you call those comments/status you submit to your twitter account). They can't reply to the specific 'twit', unlike in plurk. In plurk you can refer to the specific one of which you want to comment on, and so making it clear. Moreover, plurk have cute emoticons, in which twitter don't. And also, plurk uses this system 'karma' in which when you reach a number of karma you unlock a set of cuter and more exclusive emoticons. This encourages 'plurkers' to keep their plurk accounts updated in order to keep gaining karma. On other hand, twitter have lots of additional websites, like for example there's this one website where you can 'twit' as long as you can and they'll just put a link for other people to see your 'twit's fully in case if it were too long and contains more than the specified characters. This can both be good and bad, depending on the side you see it from, but from my side, it's bad because it gets too complicated, having to open multiple websites just to 'twit'.
So, in conclusion, no offense to both twitter and plurk (not really), but I think plurk is better. Here's link for twitter and plurk.
Tell me about what you think, and why which is better.
