Twitter is an interesting idea, but as I joke with Liberty, telling a bunch of random fellows that you are going to “eat some cheese” borders on megalomania.  Sure, potential exists for other possible uses like getting out of jail in egypt, but examples like this stand in almost insane opposite to “decided my farts smell like toast”.  It’s a matter of depth, ya know?

Now Plurk seems to add another layer to their Twitter clone by color coding their entries based upon what you are actually doing or ‘verbing’.  For instance, If I say “Jimmy feels like enjoying a string cheese”, the word feels gets highlighted to a specific color.  Also, if you want to share a link or a video, it automatically converts the link based upon the url ending.  So a jpg will show up as a mini image in your little plurk.  So it adds just the smallest amount of depth to your twitter-like experience.  It is like a personal mini-tumblr.
