Twitter has major problems with uptimes, Plurk is missing some major features, and Brightkite is having issues with Verizon. But they all shy away from implementing features that worked, from other services. Threaded Comments – one of the largest feature missing out on Twitter was the ability to actually respond to someone.

Effectively, they’re porting their press release information to the wide open, and perhaps going a little more granular by featuring content specific to elements of iTunes.

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. Both of these features continue to support my argument that Twitter is not Plurk, nor is Plurk a new Twitter.
