You do remember there are some microblogging networks other than Twitter?
If so, and you have an iPhone, you’ll be happy to know that there’s an official Plurk application, iPlurk, now available via the App store. Ironically for a service that differentiates itself from Twitter with a horizontal timeline and more graphical interface, both aspects have been dropped for the iPhone – then again, if you’re already engaged with the Plurk community, it might make more sense for a lighter interface to update when you’re on the move?
Meanwhile, the Google-owned Jaiku now has it’s own app, developed by third party mJaiku. It’s got most of the features you’d expect to find, although a test by Darnell Clayton over at Blog Herald reveals that it doesn’t support domain shortening, which may be a significant pain in use. But the good thing is you can contact the developer via Jaiku at raiglstorfer
Great finds, I remember apps being announced last year but nearly forgot all about this due to the wait. I have dropped money on twitter and tumblr apps for the iphone but just not sure if I’m ready to do the same for Plurk. And Jaiku… I think I’ll pass.
amazing… just wish i had an iphone….
Dan, I dont know WHY google still tries. Is it just me or doesn’t everyone know that people like supporting the underdog?
Google shoulda learned when Orkut trembled in the face-of-book…
