Plurk is Shutting Down Empty
PostSubject: Plurk is Shutting Down   Plurk is Shutting Down EmptyWed Apr 01, 2009 10:39 pm

Many rumors and plurks arrived at my timeline this evening saying that Plurkbuddy announced that plurk will be relaunched as Bitter. According to the Plurk's Blog:

Quote :
Plurk to relaunch as Bitter
April 1, 2009

Dear Friends,

Lately, times have been tough at Plurk. Declining new user growth, a tough economic operating environment (clearly, it is impossible to compete in this space with any less than the portly sum of $55 million USD in VC funding garnered by supposed comparable entities) and severe cases of caffeine induced hysteria amongst rank and file A-Team members (bunch of no good, talentless hacks that they are) have all begun to take their toll on our most beloved service.

Although we have made a valiant attempt to create a truly game changing and unique social communication service here on the web this past year, and desired to push the envelope yet further in the coming months and years, ultimately, we have felt threatened and spooked, much like Facebook has in recent months, of the runaway success of social media darling Twitter. Clearly, the unending, and carefully orchestrated multi-million dollar media/PR blitz coupled with the incessant chatter of unworthy egos, and vacuous self-exhibitionists all vying to win the great ‘most followers’ arms race have done their job in leading millions of minions to this soul-sucking, and dehumanizing service.

Rather than admit defeat with our obviously flawed model of attempting to democratize multi-user social communication and empower users to converse amongst each others as peers, we have chosen, effective immediately, to shut down our present day Plurk service in favour of yet another orgiastic paradise of talking down to others and shouting insipid drivel into the audient void. We have decided to call this wonderful new service of ours Bitter. Here is how it will differ from Plurk:

* No more emoticons. No fun.
* Forced usage of geeky conventions such as “@username” and “#blah”.
* You will be unable to follow conversation replies easily.
* No more picture or video embeds. Life in mono rocks!
* Promoting a landfill of unmarked, potentially incentivized and potentially misleading url shortened links.
* No more private messages to a smaller subset or clique of your friends or followers.
* Limited customization options aimed at keeping the tone of the service clinical, boring, spammy and lifeless.

In closing, we believe we are making the right move in launching Bitter and continuing to promulgate a hollow celebrity culture of excess in favour of our current vibrant communal community chock full of selfless, good hearted and jovial individuals of all ages, cultures and walks of life. We sincerely hope you enjoy the madness.

The A-Team

I find this fake. Why?
Firstly, in the page of PlurkBuddy, there is a plurk in the timeline which states that there will be a maintenance on April 3. But, Plurk will shut down on April 2. How come there would be a maintenance?

Second, they enumerated the changes they made in Bitter, why would they say "No more emoticons. No fun." Di pa nga nalalaunch, No Fun agad. So pag ganyan wala nang magreregister jan.


Well, let's just hope na it's just a joke kasi it's April Fool's Day. We had many experiences na sa plurk, madami tayong nameet na friends at kung ano ano pa. And dahil din sa plurk kaya nabuo ang PU. So let's pray. Smile
