Microsoft rips off Plurk

I'm still working on the new website. Most of the posts (including artworks, blog posts and 365 posts from 2009, 2010 and 2011) are missing. These posts will return eventually. Thanks for your patience! :)

I'm an active user on Plurk. And today I came across some Plurks with disturbing news! Apparently, Microsoft took the code (and design!) of Plurk and made it their own. You can read more about this on Plurk's blog. It's insane. It's an exact copy!!

Whatever happens, I'm sticking with Plurk. I hope they can sue Microsoft or something. They shouldn't be able to get away with this.

Rosie, even if I dont use Plurk anymore, I saw that and twittered about it. Damn they're so dumb not to think ppl would see that!

Nice blog and good that you're active again, missed you!

Yeah, it's incredibly stupid of Microsoft to do this. I've heard they have been making more of these "mistakes" lately. :?

Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog btw! :D I'm glad to be so active too. I really missed doing this!
