This week, our survey covers the micro-blogging service Plurk and Twitter. According to stats shown by Google Trends, the Philippines is ranked #3 visitor of Plurk.com worldwide.
Okay, it used to be #2 until Taiwan took that spot from us. On the other hand, we’re nowhere in the top 10 for Twitter.com.
Then again, between Plurk and Twitter, Plurk seems to be the more preferred choice among Filipinos. It’s yet unknown why this is so but if you look at the average profile of a Plurk user and a Twitter user, you will see the age range is much lower with Plurk.
The Philippines doesn’t normally follow the social networking trends in the US. We’re into Friendster more than Facebook, into Plurk more than Twitter, into LiveJournal and Multiply than WordPress and Blogger.
So our poll this week aims to answers some of these questions — Which micro-blogging tool do you favor? Plurk or Twitter?

twitter!
STFU, People! Plurk is a lot better than twitter becaulse of the side-scrolling timeline, karma system and friends list.
No one PLurks! LOL
Plurk sucks!
I have both accounts but I’m most addicted to Twitter because I can send tweets thru SMS :D but still update my PLURK as possible as I can. I think Facebook is more popular now than Friendster. As for blogs, I have accounts in Multiply, LJ, WordPress and blogger.
Plurk is lovingly fun because of the emoticons. Twitter is lovingly straightforward and simple.
I have accounts on both, but since none of my friends have a plurk account, I decided to use my twitter account more.
I’m still keeping my plurk account. I’ve started to meet new friends there.
But like what I said, my friends are on twitter, so I might as well stay with it.
Wherever they are, of course, that’s where I’m gonna be! That’s the sole purpose of it all. To communicate with friends.
