I can now be found on another micro blogging platform called Plurkhere is my Plurk page. I found out about Plurk this morning via Inquisitr and it has an interesting format. I spent some time reading reactions to the Plurk service and feel basically the same way – except I am looking for a centralized login system to all these services.
I still wish there was a centralized way to login to these new services and bring my social graph with me. I know about OpenID and others, but it just seems silly to import my friends into yet another social network. Even if this system were active, I would want a way to screen and filter the friends I do import so that I do not bombard them with yet another invite to another service. It would be nice to have features like importing friends with a certain friends\followers ratio, activity on the service, last login etc…
Back to Plurk; I think the interface is polished. I like the response system and the ability to choose what you are broadcasting. Although it is usually obvious, choosing your beginning “plurk” makes conversations easier to follow. Conversations also happen inside many “plurks” which can sometimes be very confusing – at least to me.
