Plurk Makes Compete's Top Five Fastest Growing Sites
Compete.com just released its June 2008 Top Movers data. In the top five was Plurk. 
Landing the #4 positioin was the newest microblogging site to hit the web.
In my June 1 Twitter versus Plurk post, I wondered aloud if Plurk might be the prime beneficiary of Twitter’s trouble scaling and related downtime. Based on the Compete data, that appears to be the case.
I’ve continued to play around with Plurk, here.
With all of Twitter’s faults, it has remained sticky – mainly due to the inertia it has created, couple with all of the Twitter apps that make accessing Twitter so easy. While Twitter continues to grow, part of that growth may be due to PR momentum that to date has help Twitter add more user that it is losing due to performance. Whether Twitter can shake off the “dead man walking” moniker remains to be seen.
