Plurk, What’s New ?

               We all know about social networks in general, but how many of us know about this kind of social network. Plurk, a kind of website that connecting people around the world with just finger tips. But, All is just a tip of the iceberg, no matter what you do, it never seems what appears to be. When you register to Plurk.com , the layout seems to be so strange.

               The neat thing about Plurk is that you can organize your friends into “cliques” a.k.a. groups. You can also control which “cliques” can see your messages. This is a feature that many people want twitter to add, well Plurk already has it. The time line view on Plurk is also pretty unique. It’s a horizontal time line that you can drag around with your mouse to see the different online conversations. It’s relatively easy to use and figure out.

               What Encyclopaedia says about Plurk ? Plurk is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send updates (otherwise known as plurks) through short messages or links, which can be up to 140 text characters in length. So, you got it, its a social networks + micro blogging, hmm .. micro blogging seems familiar , yes, just like twitter.

plurk                When you login to Plurk, you might see something different, it’s natural, because Plurk is double the size bonuses and when you join them, you might see like twitter , and like facebook .  You can post from videos from YouTube … and photo’s and you can post link, but you only able to do that like 140 characters. The Newest thing now is .. Plurk can also shared your webcam photo’s . Neat..

                Plurk tells you to share more than you could imagine, anything from text post to webcam photo’s they can do it all for you. Timeline on Plurk is horizontally , so you might see this .. a bit weird, but when you plurk you can do like twitter does, become a hot post or trend line (in twitter).
