Though a neat concept and platform design, the timeline aspect doesn't work as well for my brain... it's too disjointed to see quickly at-a-glance what's going on. I like scanning my vertical Twitter feed. Plus, I didn't see too many high level conversations going on... yet. It seems mostly a slew of global early adopters (heavy on the teens/twentysomethings) chitchatting about... um, er nothing much. :) We'll see, but I imagine Plurk could reach the tipping point with a certain demographic sooner than later because of the many cool features. I just doubt I'll be there ... much. I plurked around yesterday for a good 45 minutes.

I also agree with chayaldora though that Plurk feels like a big chat room. While I'm undecided about my use on Plurk, for the moment it seems to be interesting. I'll follow the trend as it happens and either pick up use or drop it to go back to Twitter.
