A Brief Look at Plurk, Pownce and Twitter »
The latest news online is the emergence of Plurk in the realm of social sites. Heck, I don't even know if that's the right term. But it allows you to find and connect to others, so that makes it social enough for me, and you'll just have to pardon my ignorance if I happened to classify it incorrectly.
The about page at Plurk is simple - it's less than a half-page (depending on the size of your monitor) and simply defines the site as A really snazzy site that allows you to showcase the events that make up your life in deliciously digestible chunks. Straightforward enough for you? In practice, it's like a competitor to Pownce and Twitter (yes, jaiku too, but since they are still in closed beta, and no one takes them seriously, I can't really say).
So the big question is: Which one is for you? That's the tough question to answer. Luckily, you don't have to pick just one, but chances are you'll use one more than the others.
