Well, me i do not know what it is..LOL..



btw, according to PLURK's site,

Noun. plurk (plüer-kh) - A really snazzy site that allows you to showcase the events that make up your life in deliciously digestible chunks. Low in fat, 5 calories per serving, yet chock full of goodness.

Verb. plurk (plüer-kh) - To chronicle the events of your always on, action-packed, storybook, semi-charmed kinda life.

according to WIKI answer;

"Plurk at the core is a micro-blogging site that allows users to post short messages similar to instant messaging, but charts the messages based on a time-line. The format is becoming increasingly popular with sites like Twitter and FriendFeed becoming more mainstream."

according to blahblahtech.com;

"Plurk is more than a Twitter clone. Plurk is themed IM (Instant Messaging) for groups of people spread out on a time line"

and according to the great technology blogger: TANOM:

"Plurk is just like twitter, i used it to spread my blog news and updates..LOL"

why join PLURK? there are many reasons to join, one of those are you can make me one of your PULRKADAS here... see me THERE!

First of all, i am not into web development, eventhough i am a newbie blogger (a 1 year in blog? still considering myself as newbie..lol)
But want to share this idea to those who still do not know about Twitter.
As define from twitter itself, It is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Bloggers can use it as a mini-blogging tool



For blogger like me, there are many definitions we can think of but as of now, i define Twitter as:
:140 characters mini blogging
:its a minute online talking for self and friends updates
:creating and expanding online circle of friends
:it will make you a better editorial writer, the briefer the words the better.
:one way of promoting and advertising your blog..LOL

So what's with TWITTER? This cool web application topped some of the Technology news sites last 8 days ago when some of the users or i may say twitterers including ME encountered problem asking why they are always get disconnected and get some error call outs. The reason is that Twitter have encountered Database failure and they are on the process of recovery until yesterday, when Twitter official representative, Jason Goldman, in their support Forum officially stated:

"We are coming back to life now - the recovery took a bit longer than anticipated.
With outages of this type, there is impaired performance after the database recovers. Essentially, it needs to be restored by handling incoming traffic but it takes a while to catch up with demand.
This process is concluding now but the site will be slow for a while longer."

Hmmm... do i hear the word SLOW? Anyways, every applications whether online or not, needs to have more testing or i may say development for it to be reliable and stable. so long live TWITTER! follow me NOW!
