Why MamaisPlurking...

Plurk is a new microblogging network that's keeping netizens busy. When Liz Strauss invited me, I promptly joined.

Plurk's slogan is "your life on the line." It's very apt as you will be interacting with your friends, called plurkers on a timeline. It is also like being in a bar, where everyone seems to be talking all the at the same time and you can eavesdrop or join in any conversation.

With that setting, it's no wonder why I plurk. Here are more reasons why I plurk:

1. the Friendship - you build a community with friends and you get to know them in their most candid. It's also an effective way of sharing links or interesting websites.

2. the Communication - you can ask questions, post a question, answer questions and get quick responses. Through this, also, you get more ideas for future projects.

3. the Challenge - you are encouraged to plurk every day or every hour because there's a reward by doing so. The rewards can be in the form of more choices in icons, among the famous ones is the banana dance; customize the look of your plurk; have a plurk display name.

4. the Karma - when you're up for that challenge, you get more karma. The rewards are computed through karma points. My idea of karma before bordered on the negative, but with plurk's karma, the term is put on the positive light.

5. the Plurk - It's fun, it's hilarious, it's simply plurk! See let's catch up at Plurk :)

So, why do you plurk?
