Plurk and what it can improve

I have been using Plurk or plurking for the past weeks and it is addictive but at the same time frustrating – not as frustrating as twitter but it still is frustrating.

Do not get me wrong. I really like Plurk and this because: (i) It keeps you updated on what your friend does or is thinking about; (ii) It keeps you connected; (iii)Its conversation on tap. Each plurk that is a potential conversation.

And from a casual observer it is interesting to see how the conversation progresses. Maybe that is why it is addictive.

The fatal attraction of the dancing Banana.

But that is another story.

What is frustrating about Plurk at the moment is that (I)its alert system is not functioning properly. You get alerted whenever somebody sends a friendship or fan request but not when a friend posts. (II) It might also help if you can view Plurk via the clique function as well.

Anyway those were some suggestion on how to improve Plurk.

Also for those who are addicted Plurk it might be prudent to read this here: Safe Plurking.
