Plurk hates iPlurk, creates its own iPhone app - VentureBeat

A few weeks ago, I had some problems with iPlurk, an iPhone app for the micro-messaging service Plurk. My main problems with the app was that the third-party developers who made it failed to capture what makes Plurk unique in the space. Well, I’ve got some good news: Plurk itself has come around and released its own iPhone app today.
The app, just called "Plurk," bests iPlurk in many ways. In the main timeline view you can now see the service’s trademark verbs (like "hates" used in the title) outlined in their appopriate colors, you can see which messages in your timeline are unread, you can easily browse you contacts and it even has emoticon hints. The main advantage of the app though is its price: free versus $1.99 for iPlurk.
