Soplurk many of you have probably heard of the accusations from Plurk, that their code was stolen and used by Microsoft China’s recently launched microblogging platform Juku. It’s definitely a biting blow to Plurk, since their service was first suspended/blocked in China, only to have Microsoft China create a blatantly similar service.

The latest update is that Microsoft has admitted to stealing code, and have since taken the service down. You can read more at guardian.co.uk.
