I find the side-scrolling timeline annoying, and I think that giving people props/karma/whatever for updating only encourages idiots to post five times a minute. Picking a verb is time-consuming and not fun, and I don't really have any desire to see emoticons anywhere outside of instant messaging (if even there). And if I was to be honest here, I'd have to admit that anything that threatens to tear apart the community I love on Twitter is going to get one nasty scowl from me. <i>That</i> is my real beef with Plurk.
