Okay , okay, when I first heard about Plurk, ANOTHER site to social network, I thought my head would explode. Honestly, aren't I on enough sites already??? (See yesterday's posts for that). But after reading RoseWorksJewelry's blog post on how it is similar yet different to Twitter, I thought I'd give it a try. To me, it seems like a great merger between Twitter, Facebook and MSNChat. You can easily follow conversation threads, or ignore them. You can easily find your current friends, or make new contacts by following other's friends. Want to see people's lives but don't want to chat with them? Instead of becoming theyr "friend", become their "fan". You can't message each other, but you can see what the other is up to. It can automaticall post your updates to Twitter and Facebook as well, to save you posting time ifyou are into that.
Yup, I love Plurk! I've already met some cool people and I've gained 10 new followers to this blog in the past 2 days - welcome to all the new people, thank you for following me here!

ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of Plurk. I'll have to have a look, although like (the previous) you, I feel a little scattered with the sites I'm on already and the thought of joining a new one is intimidating.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds very cool, and I'm glad it's working for you. I can barely keep up with Blogger :), so I was very impressed with the list of sites you posted yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI noticed you were chatting up a storm over there Meghann! LOL - so how are you getting new followers? I haven't been using it much, but since I realised it will tweet and facebook whatever I post there I'm thinking it's a pretty useful resource!
ReplyDeletePlurk is fun :) I'm enjoying it as well!
ReplyDeleteRuthie's post tempted me as well but I'm still a little intimidated. I might have to check into it further though now that you second her recommendation!
ReplyDeleteI looked at it once, but I think I'll pass. Just can't keep up with what I'm doing now!! If only I didn't have house work, yard work, part time job, hubby, kids, etc. Then maybe I could be on the computer all day!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my posts! Welcome to the new ones, welcome back to all my regulars!
ReplyDeletePlurk is, like anything else, something you have to get used to, fortunately it is WAY easier to get to know than just about anything else I've joined. I look forward to seeing some of you soon :)
