I’ve joined the online site named Plurk, it’s abit of a twitter lookalike, but with a bit of a different feel and idea. So far I’m enjoying the experience and see limitless possibilities for gathering a community of like minded individuals together. Another way to expand your social prowess, Plurks are definitely here to stay, I can’t do the Plurk name much better justice than what they’ve wrote on the subject. Here it is in a nutshell:

What is Plurk?

Noun. plurk (plüer-kh) - A really snazzy site that allows you to showcase the events

that

make up your life in deliciously digestible chunks. Low in fat, 5 calories per serving, yet chock full of goodness.

Verb. plurk (plüer-kh) - To chronicle the events of your always on, action-packed, storybook, semi-charmed kinda life.

Example use: “Gee golly, my children are plurking all day long, what’s a mother to do?”

Why join them, of course! Yes, Plurk is for everyone. We’ve taken the time, the complexity, and the deep introspection required out of blogging.

This isn’t Billy Q. Poindexter’s blog, no, no. Instead, Plurk is an easy way to chronicle and share the things you do, the way you feel, and all the other things in between that make up your life, with the people close to you. It’s instant gratification, instant self-indulgence, instant celebrity, instantly YOU. Share your life stream, live your life….Plurk!
