Now we all know about that 140 character micro blogging service called Twitter and we have also seen so many of its copy cats. There is no dearth of Twitter based services either and some of them are even fortunate enough to get Venture Capital. Now, there’s is a new kid on the block which is not actually a Twitter clone or anything related to it but it shares DNA of thought and inspiration from Twitter.

Plinky calls itself your web enabler and unlike Twitter it doesn’t ask “What are you doing?” Plinky merely asks you certain prompt (i.e. a question or challenge) which you can answer. The questions are not super easy in a sense that you do have to apply your mind and often recollect something from your past in order to answer.

Plinnky has set the stage for virality by integrating with services like Facebook, Twitter and others and I am trying what Plinky holds for me. Luckily, I have registered the same user name on Plinky as I have on Twitter (@su). I will be trying it out for some time and give a deatiled analysis of this new kid in some time.
