It should be interesting to watch and I might come back and talk to these Plurkers in a few weeks to get a barometer of things over time. Thanks for dropping by one of my new hiding places Barry... always nice to see a familiar face ;0) Well since this research some other short commings have been noticed and there is much to sort IMO – the strange thing is that you would think the developers would be more active in the community, considering the personal nature the site fosters.

I think unless Plurk finds the key to finding your own ongoing conversations, it will never manage to be the Twitter-killer it has the potential to be. Very much on the ball, Dave.

I have to think that Plurk is about as appealing to the masses as forums once were. Those that were shy and less involved may not find much to change their minds on Plurk. So, do we have professionals being personal more than the greater public? So far there is ample evidence to that end. People go where their friends are and if you have no friends on Plurk, then the timeline is a barren wasteland...

Sure it's a significant player and it's clearly made a statement in the way it's users share information and communication. Here are some actual numbers from March 2008 Total Users: 1+ million Total Active Users: 200,000 per week Total Twitter Messages: 3 million/day So just over 1 million users is considered a big time player? Enough so to be named alongside Myspace or Facebook? Not by any standards. I disagree that Twitter big time player in any sense of the word.

I have my own feelings about Plurk and it's future, I wanted to try and see what others felt. It will be interesting to look back at some of the suppositions that emerged in a few months to see how it turns out. ‘Twas success that brought the Twitter Whale to prominence; what does the future hold for Plurk?

Like you I enjoy the pure social aspect and the ability to participate and follow threads instead of digging arount in twitter to see what that snarky remark referred to. A lot of noise but you can choose to participate or not and see who is plurking who. Nice review of Plurk Dave.

However, that could be the reason why when I sign up for these sites and invite family and friends - no one sees the point or has the desire to try it out -- thus decreasing my own usage of these "trendy" sites.
