First thing that impresses me is the interest domain name. And the site does just that. It is for all those microblogging fanatics who have got an account with every microblogging site in the universe….

Now, Its similar to ping.fm. But, different in many ways…I personally prefer updating me over any other simultaneous posting service…Plus it supports all those services which I need…Right now, they support

Facebook Facebook
FriendFeed FriendFeed
Identi.ca Identi.ca
Koornk Koornk
Plurk Plurk
Pownce Pownce
Rejaw Rejaw
TwitArmy TwitArmy and of course,
Twitter Twitter
Now, if that doesn’t satisfy you…they have their own Adobe AIR app which lets you update all these services without ever visiting their website. And, if you are on updating.me, you get to see your stream on any of these services all the time (yeah, you have to do a manual refresh, though)..
Right now, it is limited private beta and you are going to need a secret invite code to get in.
So here it is, just for thunderror.com readers
invite code: thunderror

But, firefox was acting all weirdly in the morning and I had to close it down for sometime. I downloaded twhirl, the desktop client for twitter meanwhile. Adobe AIR based Twhirl has one of the best interfaces out there and really makes me want to use it just for that…This got me thinking, why plurk which was more closer to chat did not have a desktop client and there I was searching for a client for plurk and I found 3.

Both the applications require Adobe AIR which can be found here.

Plurkair

An Adobe AIR based application which is a desktop application for plurk. I used it, liked it and recommend it. Though I would like a few more features, I need to consider that this application has been developed even in the absence of an API from plurk. Plurkair uses the plurk mobile version of the page and is quite decent for a desktop app. Download it here.

Plurkit

Same as Plurk air, except for a few minor negligible differences.

Plurk Firefox Sidebar

This is to plurk, what twitterfox is twitter. You need the firefox browser, which you can get here. But I am sure you already use it.
