Plurk

Plurk (plüer-kh) offers users a way to chronicle and share the things they do, the way they feel, and all the other things. Plurk is similar to Twitter in its basic functionality, but it asks users to select qualifiers such as loves, likes, is, hates, etc for each message. This means every message you write is in third person, but it also means you can search for messages under the same qualifier.

Like Pownce, Plurk lets you embed Flickr images and YouTube videos.

Additionally, Plurk differs from Twitter in its user interface. Plurk shows your friends’ updates in a horizontally scrolling timeline.

I've tried Twitter and hated it... I swiftly moved onto Plurk and have since not looked back. It's great and a lot of fun but I've come to see it's not for everyone :)

Why is plurk different? because its more social than twitter ... its an almost IM

the timeline needs work i think but yes. great little snappy/ajax chat convo more so than twitter ever was. my heart will still be on twitter thou - like a first love. but plurk is definitely the girlfriend that gives out more so far. . :)
