NeoPets FTW! w00t! ha, ha! - Susan Beebe

neopets pwn you - tylergillies

Plurk is like a game - the more plurks / invites, the more karma, the more pretty toys open up - martin english

What's with the name? Tweet sounds cool, plurk sounds strange. - brian junyor

Couldn't have said it better myself. - Dewald Pretorius

I suppose I'll go be a 14 year old girl then... wait did that come out right? ;-P - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge via twhirl

Whenever I think of plurk, I think of a fish jumping out of its bowl onto concrete...strange. - Jeevan Padiyar via Alert Thingy

My verdict which apparently is so very important - plurk will do more for twitter than anything else recently and will remind us ingratiates why we loved it in the first place. - Kamath (ಮೆತ್ತ ಭವನ) via twhirl

I can't get their stupid timeline to show up in firefox on my mac (though it works on safari & firefox on my windows laptop). Not worth using safari just for that. :-/ - Bob

you know, I agreed with you until I used the mobile site on the browser on my treo tonight - then I was blown away... fabulous for conversations - blows FF & Twitter out of the water in that aspect. Seriously - I was kind of surprised. - Lucretia Pruitt

dont underestimate the power of a #plurk - kosmar

@lucretia is right. i use http://plurk.com/m in the sidebar. also check the group feature. - kosmar

Plurk will probably end up being the MySpace of micro-blogging services - and that is not a bad place to be. Great implementation IMHO. - Aviv

Wow, Neopets? Been ages since I've thought about it... Comparing Plurk to it never occurred to me. - Voyagerfan5761

its just who you follow. you wont see the myspacey customized or teeny user part of it, when you dont add them. also ist not likely to browse on anywhere else than your own customized page. - kosmar

Was not impressed with Plurk at all. I must agree it was to weird for everyday use. Good luck Plurk. - Admiral70

I resemble that remark! Think I'll err on the Tamagotchi side, though ... - Ashton

جالبه حرفش,خب راست می گه لوسه خیلی - shandiz

what the hell is a neopuppet? LOL! :-) - Chuck Boyce via twhirl

I had to go back a few times before liking it a nice twhirl-like client would be good though - Sebbe D'Hose

It's hard to say. It might get a different Twitter-sized audience. The audience isn't us, that's for sure. And they do need to take a few barriers to use down though in order to get really viral. The lack of an API is also a major issue. - Dion Hinchcliffe via twhirl

robert is just mad someone took his name http://www.plurk.com/p/2urp - Zach Chisholm

There are more 14 year old girls than 40 y/o geeks - Mark Drapeau via twhirl

plurk me baby one more time - tylergillies

it's called PLURK for god's sake. Surely that ranks as one of the worst web 2.0 names ever? - Sam

I actually think the name is very good. A really good pick imho. - Aviv

It's better than all those names that simply remove the "e" like Flickr did. - Robert Scoble

Robrt Scobl - tylergillies

at least you can conjugate plurk like a regular verb. with twitter i usually felt stupid trying to come up with a verb form ("he, uh, twittered") and there was the whole "twitter/tweet" thing for the noun. whereas a plurk is a plurk is a plurk. - Karim

That's right, considering all the silly names we've been seeing in the past few years, Plurk is a brilliant pick and I think it'll be a key contributor to its [potential] success in becoming the MySpace of micro-blogging services, as well as attracting its intended audience (yes, all those 14 year olds currently populating the service). - Aviv

Robert, at the end of the day, 14 year old Plurkers simply don't have the same expectations as Twitter super-users and tech geek early-adopters. If Plurk goes down for 30 minutes, they'll happily turn on their Tivo and try again after a Hannah Montana fix. - Aviv

There's got to be a better critique of new things than 'Not as simple as Twitter" - Ivan Pope via twhirl
