Among the bloggerati, <A href="http://www.friendfeed.com" class="external-link">FriendFeed</A> is filling in the vaccuum and could become the new Twitter. It's got a good feedback system and it also has features that make finding and adding friends very easy. And FriendFeed reads in Twitter content, so users can have the best of both worlds.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9957487-2.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=Webware">
Now there's an even newer Twitter clone: <B><A href="http://www.plurk.com" class="external-link">Plurk</A></B> (<A href="http://plurk.ryanlim.com/help/index.php?id=32" class="external-link">about the name</A>). Its big advantage is its user interface</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9957487-2.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=Webware">The system also has a good design for adding friends by finding them on your other buddy lists (AIM, Yahoo IM, Gmail, etc.). Also, there's a good method for responding to Plurk posts that shows you a conversation thread laid on top of the timeline.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9957487-2.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=Webware"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.webware.com/img/E306AFE3-BD76-451B-B827-1A2A5C362032" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9957487-2.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=Webware">Plurk looks great and has very strong features.
