Ha! - Christopher Howie from twhirl

what friendfeed really needs is more friendfeed vs twitter posts. lol - Cee Bee

haha nice - Nicholi from twhirl

I was going to post this myself, and then I realized someone else would definitely already have it. Search works! - Louis Gray

That's not a dog...It's a man, baby! - Dan Kaplan

Aww... I love Rotties. - Roger Benningfield

Aww...I hate Rotties - Dieter Schwarz

I don't hate any dog, but I disliked Rotties before a tenant of mine got one. That changed my tune... he was an adorable little (and eventually, very big) guy. - Roger Benningfield

lol at the last sec of the video looks like hes attacking something - Michael Garrison from twhirl

i have seen more than one rottweiler mix at the local shelter with this reason for "owner surrender:" too nice. - edythe

Edythe: Wow... that's depressing. Good advertising for people looking to adopt, though. - Roger Benningfield

well, not when they're there to get themselves a mean old rottweiler. - edythe

If you have a dog with the hiccups, scaring works just as good as it does on people. - Mark Trapp

it's like twitter, w/ better attachment functionality, on a horizontal time-line thus easier to review, but not mobile friendly. - clarke thomas

I agree, it's silly - Ryan

-100 karma for Nathaniel! :-) - Chris Harris

Its Twitter with the ability to have threaded conversations. The horizontal timeline is hard to get used to, but the mobile app is vertical. - Mike Templeton

twitter for kids or painkiller for heavily depressed tweeple - Dobromir Hadzhiev

move moves the wrong way - Marc Canter

-1000 karma for Chris Harris! (which will be rendered as a severe beating at the next dmtweetup) ;-) - Nathaniel Payne

@clarke, http://www.plurk.com/m <- mobile version ;-) - AJ Batac :)

its like an unnecessarily complicated version of twitter that nobody really uses - so maybe it's more like pownce :) - Jennifer Van Grove from twhirl

it's a chat-room where you can post with ping.fm ;) - Dieter Schwarz

It is a more complicated Twitter - Jared Radosevich

It's a dog without a head. i.e. a website without usability - directeur

As long as Twitter remains unstable, Plurk is the most Twitter-like option out there that also happens to be new kid on the block. - Great Scott! Needs a Ham

It's essentially Twitter, but the conversations stay self-contained and don't send out a lot of noise to the timeline. There are toys like karma, but most people ignore them. - Michael Gaines

Oh, yeah, and it works :D - Michael Gaines

@Nathaniel nooo, -1000 makes all my plurk smilies disappear. you bastard!! - Chris Harris

Twitter is to statements as Plurk is to conversations. Even more than twitter, Plurk requires adding friends and interacting with them. This interaction is the reason so many people are falling in love with it. If you want to know more, feel free to send me a plurk: http://www.plurk.com/user/Teeg - Teeg

tried to use it for a few weeks, but the big problem is that they simply don't have the user base. you end up talking to the same 2 people and after a while, everybody is bored and goes back to twitter (if it's up). - Mark Schulz

Pluk is really twitter with consolidated replies and tweets on a timeline instead of in a stream. - Greg Hollingsworth from twhirl

Right now I have over 300 friends on there, only 1 or 2 of them are teenagers, many are computer geeks of one kind of another, a lot are experts in their fields. In the 3 weeks or so that I've been on Plurk, I've already learned more and received more answers to my questions than I ever did on Twitter, even though I actually have more friends listed on Twitter. - Teeg

Plurk is like Twitter but with participation and interesting conversation. To generalize all Plurk users as "high school kids" is very misleading. If you get on, conversate and make friends you'll see what the buzz is all about. - Patrick Britton

it's Twitter with conversation that you can actually follow. It's got good search functions and none of my Plurk friends are teenagers - Sharon Hurley Hall

It's like Twitter with more conversations, more community, more responsiveness from founders, and less egos and snarkiness. - Mack Collier

"its like an unnecessarily complicated version of twitter that nobody really uses - so maybe it's more like pownce :)" Has 155 friends on Plurk, been there maybe a week. Twitter, 127 followers and I've been there for several months. Not to mention Plurkers actually talk to you, Twitterers just blab on about their own self indulged lives. - Patrick Britton

No "fail whale." :D - Patrick Britton

It's more fun at times. I tend to get more responses. but it's only cause people are trying to build karma. timeline is an interesting interface that allows a little better view of when in time everything is happening. - SolidSmack

Josh, they're helping you build karma when they respond. They build karma by getting responses on their posts. A neat idea that drives conversation levels up. :) - Teeg

Twitter on crack. or meth. or your mind enhancing chemical of choice. - Jane Chin, Ph.D.

I agree with Konstantino "Many of the comments here are naive and misleading, not to mention ignorant" For one, my teenage years are long forgotten and my plurk friends are adults with adult conversations... I LOVE Twitter for the sharing of great business information & links but you cannot have nor follow a conversation there. On Plurk you can create or follow conversations from beginning to end if you want, & some conversations are long we discuss all sorts of topics personal and or business, politics.. - Linda Zimmer

silly chat room with emoticons & reaching for a level of *karma* gets ya better emoticons. that being said, there have been good discussions there :) - Barbara K. Baker

oh, and FriendFeed is still better. just not as... silly! - Barbara K. Baker

plurk confuses me, thus I keep playing along. sorry I can't explain it, but that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger. - Peggie Arvidson

Check out my spore creature created by my son at http://www.Sporevote.com - Robert Scoble

Interesting that they switched celeb thumbnails and creatures. Wonder how many actually create one. - Andrew Smith

I'm officially amused! =) - Eric Hamilton

ZeFrank's spore creature is kicking my ass. I guess that was to be expected, huh? :-) - Robert Scoble

Uh...Goatse didn't exist when you were 14, Robert. - Richard Klein

well i am in my thrities - i am gonna go google goatse .. never heard of it. taking my chances - Jared from twhirl

wish i hadnt done that... - Jared from twhirl

yeah, but did goat.se even exist before your thirties? - Ivan Pope from twhirl

Jared, I'm sorry you had to see that. I still remember the first time I was assaulted with that, with no warning or anything. - Steve Lowe from twhirl

oh, just googled goatse too. damn you, friendfeed. oh jesus - Marcel Weiß

wow could have gone at least another 50 years without knowing what goatse was - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

for everyone who googled goatse, here is a site with cute kittens to help make it better. http://www.dailykitten.com - Susy Doyle from twhirl

hehe! I found out what goatse was from Wikipedia and I never got the courage to actually see it. I think I'm better of not seeing it. - Rahul Das

-15 FriendFeed points to Scobez for infecting more peeps with Goatse... +15 points for imagining the looks on their faces as they spew out their morning coffee... - iTad from fftogo

just reading the description was bad enough for me - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

i'm older than "in my 30s" and don't know what goatse is! guess i'll have to google it, and it sounds like i might be sorry! probably better to live the rest of my life without knowing! - Jeanne Breault from twhirl

ok, nevermind the google! just read rest of the comments...think i'll pass! :-) - Jeanne Breault from twhirl

Goatse - Oh no Sluggo! - Russellreno

NOTE - DO NOT GOOGLE GOATSE!! You do NOT NOT NOT want to see it. DO NOT DO IT. No matter how curious you are, you don't want to see it. Once you've seen something, it can not be unseen. - iTad from fftogo

Just in case any of you happened to take a photo of yourself at the precise moment you clicked that google link, here's a place where you can share that priceless expression on your face with the world (SFW): http://www.flickr.com/groups... - Jason Wehmhoener

it occurs to me that goatse is the original rickrolling - Ivan Pope from twhirl

@Tad Donaghe: Way to reverse psychologize some people into Googling goatse. **smirk** - Cheryl Jones

Some of you are just now seeing this? Just remember, you can't "un-see" something, so you should be cautious when Googling such things... - Vince DeGeorge

@jason - that is awesome. im still not looking though - Marco(aureliusmaximus)
