There are already more desktop apps for Twitter than we could ever possibly cover without losing our minds. But what about that OTHER microblogging service, Plurk? A couple of people have hacked the mobile version into Adobe Air to create two similar apps: PlurkAir and PlurkIt. This is ok for now, but it's nowhere near the level that Twitter clients have achieved. That's where Plurker comes in. It's scheduled to be the first dedicated Windows desktop version of Plurk, and the feature list looks pretty impressive. Sort Plurks using custom searches, set alerts for private Plurks you receive, enjoy autocompleting @message functionality, and way too much more for us to list here. If Plurker is as good as promised, it could give Plurk a big user boost by taking away one major excuse not to use the service.

You mean other than the fact that plurk looks like it's the xanga of microblogging?

I'd have to say, as the developer of Plurker and an avid user of Plurk, looks can be deceiving, Tom :)

Hey Keith, thanks for writing. Definitely keep us updated on Plurker as it develops. I was looking for a screenshot to use for this post. Are you guys sharing the details of the UI yet?
