Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to post an update message just as you would in an instant messaging client. These updates (otherwise known as tweets), are text-based posts that can only be 140 characters in length.
Plurk is similar to Twitter only that your updates (called plurks) and your friends’ are arranged in a timeline so your friends can easily view and comment on them. Plurks can be posted with qualifiers, which are one-word verbs used to represent a thought (ex. “feels”, “thinks”, “loves”, etc.). Its like an instant messenger / social networking / forum / micro-blogging service rolled into one.
An easier way to update your Plurk and Twitter is to use SMS or text messaging.
To start plurking via SMS, sign up first at phplurk.com. Then, register your PLURK account to their gateway by sending:
PREG <plurk username> <password>
To update your timeline, send either
PLURK <your update>
or
PLURK <qualifier> <your update>
Valid qualifiers:
loves, likes, shares, gives, hates, wants, wishes, has, will, asks, was, feels, thinks, says, is
mahal, ipinamamahagi, nagbibigay, kinasusuklam, gusto, naghahangad, nagtatanong, nararamdaman, iniisip, sinasabi, ay
To start twitting via SMS, sign up first at phtwitters.com. Then, register your TWITTER account to phtwitters.com, by sending:
REG <twitter username> <password>
To update your timeline, send
TWIT <your update>
To send a direct message, text
TWITD <username> <your message>
The gateway numbers to send to:
GLOBE – +63-916-4967171
SMART – +63-929-3632359
Update: SUN CELLULAR – +63-923-8852052

I’ve tried using phplurk SMS gateway, but it’s not that consistent. In my 10 tries, only 2-3 updates were successfully fed to my Plurk account. What gives? I have followed the instructions to the last detail, but it’s still not that reliable for me.
FYI, I’m also using Plurk’s instant feed application in order to post the same update to my Twitter account.

July 29th, 2009 at 2:09 am

August 18th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
I tried using the globe gateway, but i still didn’t get a direct message in twitter. Why?
August 29th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
for sun, text help to 2555 and it’ll give you the instructions (for free) on how to update to twitter and facebook, but not on plurk. the status messages are worth P1/update

you can try @tweetitow, http://tweetitow.com for your 2-way SMS/text twitter update here in Philippines. You can both send and receive tweet updates via SMS. The service is free. Of course, your mobile network’s standard text rates apply. So it will come out as free if you are subscribed to those unlimited text promos.
