Shirking Plurking

OK... so the other day I decided to sign up for Plurk because "...all the other kids were doing it too..." (Yea, yea....I'd probably jump off a cliff, too.)

I was warned: "It is addictive," some said. "You'll check it constantly!!" "You'll want to do it more and more!" "It is killing the blogoshere!" said others.

So I Plurked. And I read others' Plurks. And I built up Karma points and told fellow Plurkers when I was hungry or sleepy or thinking about something.

But, so far....I do not get the appeal. Maybe if I stuck with it for a very long time it would grow on me, but I find it a quite boring at the moment.

So, I will let my karma points fade away to nothingness. I am relieved that it hasn't been appealing for me - 'cause with Second Life, I do not need another addiction.

  3. Margo - Plurk is a social networking site kind of like Twitter (I have been told) where you post your activities and thoughts all day long for everyone to see. I don't get the appeal.

  5. I was looking at plurk on someone's blog and wondering if it was like twitter... which I don't really get twitter either... I mean really, do my friends NEED to know that I'm flossing my teeth, RIGHT now, or that I'm driving home... I am afraid I just don't get those instant notifier things. SL is already plenty addiction for me :)

    And nice blog by the way, I was snooping it and just wanted to add in my 2c.

    Cheers!
