Isn't that topic dead yet? - ChaCha Fance

It isn't so much first mover as the massive reach/distribution of Twitter. That would be parallel to saying Facebook shouldn't have gotten the Myspace and Friendster users to convert. I find the Plurk UI counter-intuitive actually... for me, anyway. I'm always so lost when I log in that I just don't want to bother anymore... unless all my friends jumped shipped. - Marie Casas from FriendFeed MT Plugin

I still can't consider Plurk and Twitter comparable products for the <a href="http://www.techipedia.com/2008...">reasons I highlighted here</a>. Granted, Mu, you took a different approach (as related to the user interface). But as <A href="http://mashable.com/2008...">Rizzn pointed out on Mashable</a>, the people who are using Plurk are *incredibly engaged* more so than any other type of site that has been in its infancy (at least from my observations). I still use both, but when I want to share quick information, it's typically Twitter that I'll do that on. Plurk is still the site where I establish and build up strong relationships. It just works better imo. The big challenge is picking one over the other. To me, they're two different products entirely except for the 140 character limit. - Tamar Weinberg from FriendFeed MT Plugin

The UI advantage you mention that plurk offers on the site are of not much use to most twitter users as they use a mobile or PC client. Now as far as shifting the network to new service is concerned, why should one do it when the new service isn't solving any problem - Sachendra from FriendFeed MT Plugin
