Go Plurk Yourself, Buddy!
It is official, I spend too much time checking Plurk. This is why you should too!
The Rewards of Being a Good Plurker
The "rewards" feature of Plurk is very interesting too. You can get a little star by your name if you achieve a certain goal. Also, certain customizations (such as page styles) are not available to you until your Karma number has reached a certain point.
Go Out and Do Something Creative!
A great inspiration as well is the status messages you can pick from. You have:
freestyle, loves, likes, shares, gives, hates, wants, wishes, has, will, asks, was, feels, thinks, says, and is
Speaking of inspiration, seeking that great conversation starter?
- Messages of "good morning" seem to go over well with your following…
- Random messages really do the trick, create snippets from your brain do wonders too.
- You can’t forget the plugs for your own site content or interesting links you have found on the Web.
- Plurk is much more social than the other status and micro-blogs out there. Many more replies here and much more feedback to be had if you just ask.
Share Your Photos and Videos with Everybody!
You can share photos too, just make sure that link your posting ends with a .gif, .jpg or .png. Plurk will automatically generate thumbnailed images for you and open them up inside of Plurk when somebody clicks on them. The same is done for YouTube videos too.
What Makes Plurk So Different?
The timeline is what sets Plurk apart from the competitors. This gives you a unique view of all the messages from your friend that may seem a little odd at first, but you quickly catch on. You also have the option to view all the new message, or mark all messages as read.
Maybe it is just me, but Plurkers seem to be a lot more friendly too. They are all looking for replies of their own, so they might be more willing to stop by your personal Plurk page and say, "Hello!". Looking for a friend? Feel free to click here and add me!
When push comes to shove, Plurk really is becoming a favorite stop for me (or several stops depending on the speed of the day) and I wish them the best of luck in the future.
