Muhammad Saleem via ReadWriteWeb - When I first heard about Plurk I was ready to hate it. But after using the site and comprehensively going over the feature set and its implementation I am thoroughly impressed. Ultimately, I think Plurk is an amazing evolution over the previous generation of lifestreaming services that does almost everything you'd expect to find and does it better, while adding unique and interesting features of its own. Perhaps the only quibble I have with the service right now is that when I reply to someone else's Plurk that reply is restricted to that person's Plurk and doesn't show up in my lifestream otherwise.

I'm liking the speed, and the fresh and innovative (sometimes subtle) features.

It's certainly hectic, and slightly scary. You'll find me in this dark corner, possibly gibbering:

You can find me at http://www.plurk.com/user/TheKenJones because once again one of the many, many other people called Ken Jones got there first and I had to prefix my name with a "The" (just in case you thin I'm being egotistical or anything ;-) )

Have not really found what I like about it, but it's creating quite a stir so I'm investigating further.

I've read about a similar article about this yesterday but in my opinion no matter how unique the site is when it is second only or another exists first before it..we can't really avoid to call it as being copy cat or cloned.
