Plurk- A New Microblogging Service

So, the new service everyone’s talking about is Plurk. It’s kind of like twitter, as it’s a microblogging service. But, unlike twitter, you can only use plurk on the plurk website.

Ping.fm-Update Your Accounts From One Interface

Ping.fm is a service that lets you update your social networks from one place. You can update from anywhere using AIM, GTalk, iGoogle, WAP, iPhone, SMS and E-mail. Currently ping.fm lets you udpate facebook, twitter, hi5, bebo, jaiku, plurk (that was fast), xanga, tumblr, blogger, myspace, linkedin, mashable, livejournal, and pownce.

Here’s what it looks like:

Just add your text in the box and hit ping it, then you’re done. Everything gets updated.

Okay, I admit it. I don’t know what I want.

I complain when twitter’s down, but just can’t get comfortable with any of the alternatives to twitter. I want a service that lets me update all my services from one place, but using it is unsatisfying, as it’s only a post technology and I can’t see my friends’ posts.

I complain, and what I get what I ask for, I’m not happy with it.

Meh.
