Awhile ago I discovered a pretty cool service known as Koornk. Koornk is pretty much like Twitter, but it has a cleaner interface, less users, and is not that well known. Personally, I like Koornk, almost better than Twitter, but alas the popularity of Koornk isn't quite there yet. One thing that I love about Twitter is the ability to text your updates from your mobile phone (as a participant of unlimited texting, this is most useful). Koornk does however, allow you to post on Koornk and have it send it over to Twitter. It seems as if it is powered by JavaScript, but I'm not sure on that (someone let me know if you find out). This Twitter-lookalike also has a user suggestion board, hinting that both text messaging service and direct message and IM is coming! If IM hits Koornk, goodbye Twitter!
But what is with the name Koornk? Well apparently it was created by a group of Slovenians and in their words:
The name “koornk” comes from Slovenian language and is a geeky way to write the word meaning henhouse – where the chickens just can’t shut their peepholes.
You can get the full story on Koornk's website.

great post!
we have a lot of features coming soon - some of them next week. yes, its not that known as twitter, but we're getting there :)
you can "cluck" trough koornk direct to twitter (if synchronized), or you can send your statuses to ping.fm or even upload an image to pikchur.com. ping via your blog is also supported (for new blog post), clucking via googletalk etc...
stay tuned :) greetings from slovenia, matija
