And Twitter fails as a communication utility when it is down three times out of five in any given day. Plurk is finding its way as well. I wrote a post on that yesterday:
@Frank: Twitter does fail when it's down so consistently. I think they'll get straightened out sooner or later. But Plurk's focus seems to be different - emoticons and karma aren't really value adds in the communications world.
@Rudy: From what I can tell, they're approaching it with the long term in mind. So even though it still goes down a lot, they are doing the right thing.

I've learned over time that sometimes more functionality doesn't always mean it's more functional. I'm sure I've given a handful of speeches to people online telling them to leave x site to go to y because it's "better". Complete failure. Thus y site becomes a whole less useful when the people I interact with won't join. And with things like these tools online, it's not so much the people you know, but the people you don't know that you hope are on the site. For an example, Jaiku. It also allows you to track comments from a message, and so much more. But... eh. http://www.real-ity.com/networks/jaiku/

I tried Plurk and frankly, I'm not interested.
Here's hoping for Twitter to stabilize.
