Topic “twitter”

So it's not exactly news, Plurk is on the scene. For the uninitiated, it is yet another microblog site. The big feature they tout is a cool AJAXy dragable timeline to display your updates (plurks) on. As a graphic designer, I really like that the folks at Plurk are carving their niche by focusing on the interface, but as a twitter user, I need attention to ease of post. . However, I'm sure I am far from the first to suggest that a liberal API would help a startup in this market.

I have had an account for a little while now. But it was not until recently that I got "it". There are plenty of people explaining twitter, but the "it" factor can/ will not happen unless you play with it*. I dabbled, but until saw the "itis" at FOWA first hand, I resisted. Now, I follow via IM with sms forwarding while I refresh a web page and sample 2 air clients. It's not a habit, it's cool.
