@ Replying Just Got Easier

Posted in Plurky Stuff | August 4th, 2008

Just last night Plurk released the new community badges and made some interface tweaks. Woke up this morning and the A-Team is at it again. The latest upgrade is the ability to reply to someone via their info overlay. I really like this feature.

Plurk Responses from Info Overlay

When I first got in to twitter, (B.P - Before Plurk) I never got into using 3rd party apps. One of my biggest “pet peeves” about twitter was that I had to type in the persons user name each time I wanted to reply. Some people have REALLY LONG or complicated names and on top of that you have to spell it 100% correct or it won’t have the desired effect. This is coming from someone who types well over 100 words a minute; I wonder what this was like for the 2 finger typists and everyone in-between?

Now you can simply click next to the persons name until the down arrow appears; click that and choose to do an @ reply. Doesn’t get much easier than that!

Stay tuned for more things plurk,

- Rob

    Hello, I thought I would post and let you know your web site layout is really messed up on the Firefox browser. Seems to work good in IE however. Anyways keep up the great work.
