Plurk Symbol

Ever since I stopped playing World of Warcraft (Dec 1st) I’ve had more time to spend on this website and checking out social networking sites like Twitter (add me “mr_gadget“). It was through the latter that I was encouraged to check out the new social networking kid on the block - Plurk.

Like Twitter, its main function is to act as your online mini journal / blog where each post is limited to 140 characters. The way that Plurk differentiates itself from Twitter is the way it displays post entries; rather than list your entries in a chronological list, Plurk displays each entry as a bar on a full page timeline. Entries are sorted by most recent Plurk entries to the left which some may regard as backwards.

For those who are using Twitter and are of the refined browsing club who use Firefox, you’ll love TwitterFox. This Firefox extension allows you to see that status of friends, families and whoever else you’re following from the comfort of your current Firefox browser without having to visit the Twitter website or run a separate Twitter app. It’s also just as easy to send up your Twitter updates too!

I got wind of TwitterFox through one of my “followers” and now friends, ericnicolaas. Thanks Eric!

You may have heard the word “Twitter” pop up in geek talk conversations as of late. Twitter is a basically a website that allows you to set up your own mini-blog. Each Twitter post is limited to 140 characters. Your friends and family can “follow” your Twitter feed (Tweed) which you can even update using your mobile phone.

Now for those of you already Twittering, you can now give fresh Tweed from your Windows Mobile device! Download the app for your pocketPC here: Twitter for Windows Mobile

Thanks Solsie!
