Today I went back to visit Plurk and updated it since I last left it in favour of Twitter back in June. While I was trying to re-familiarise myself with Plurk, I had a sneaking suspicion that there were many like me who tried it when it first came out but now exist with 0.0 karma and have not been back since. After a bit of poking around, I found that friends like Kevin and Adrianna were karma-less like me. I guess it was comforting to know that I wasn't the only one who can't manage two microblogging platforms. But then in an attempt to restore my Plurk reputation and give this platform another chance, I stumbled upon the very helpful "Find Your Twitter Friends" button. I clicked it, put in my username and got a bigger surprise! All the top social media and Web 2.0 experts I follow on Twitter including Steve Rubel, Jeremiah Owyang, Mitch Joel, and Nat Torkington have picked abandonment in favour of Twitter. I don't think Plurk is a bad service at all, but I think it'll take quite a bit of effort to do a Facebook on me (I've officially abondoned Friendster in favour of a Facebook which came much later). Maybe I'll visit Plurk again in another four months to see if it has evolved into a game changer. But for now, there's just too much going for me on Twitter's shores to migrate.
