Why Twitter? Why Not Plurk, Facebook or Something Else?

Out of all the mini blogging sites out there I'm forced to wonder why Twitter is the one that's all over every's talking about. Out of the three mini blogging sites that I use (Twitter, Plurk and Facebook) I'd have to say that Twitter is the least useful at holding a conversation.

I have a terrible time keeping up with conversations on Twitter. They just pass me by so quickly and their gone before I know they were even there. Poof! If I comment on them, there's no chance of ever finding my comment again, unless I download some sort of secondary software to help me track it.

On Plurk I can easily see all the recent conversations. Anything I commented on is in it's own tab, all I have to do is click on it, and there it is. Then I can re-comment. I love the format of the site to, it's so cute.

The new streaming Facebook page is sort of like Twitter, except every time someone comments on something I wrote, I get an email so I can see what they said. I love this feature. I'm never left out of the loop.

What I want you to do today is really take a look at the three and think about what I've said, then, let me know what you think.
