On the brighter side, you’ve managed to turn this very unfortunate event into a learning experience for the rest of us. I would add, don’t rely on passwords alone to protect you.

After using both Plurk and Twitter pretty heavily, I’ve come to the conclusion that Plurk is best at its features for community-building, whereas Twitter succeeds more with its interface that bolsters information-sharing. I think plurk is more for networking and twitter more for tweeting news/events/links.

Too often, standard charts and graphs included in software are just that, standard. They provide numbers, not insights.
