Could plasma be a building block for life?

I'm talking about ionized gas not the plasma in our blood. I have been reading science articles about plasma and they keep hinting at the idea of plasma based life.

Here is my first example and an added second. Apparently plasma can arrange itself into cell-like structures that even "transfer information."

I would like to create a plasma based life-form. What obstacles to staying alive would this lifeform experience? What would such a being look like?
