Standing Out From The Crowd With Plurk

Plurk Offers More Than A Run Of The Mill SMS Service.

Let’s call a spade a spade.

Twitter is not a micro blogging tool, but a glorified SMS carrier.

As good as it is for sending messages, it is not the be all and end all when it comes to this type of service.

Times are changing, and there is a new kid on the block.

The kid’s name is Plurk, and if you are an early adopter of new technology, then you really need to check it out.

I posted about Plurk yesterday as part of a Blog carnival about the service, and here is a selection of other blogs carrying a message about the service.

Working your way around them will help give more of an understanding of how things work on Plurk.

Marjorie has Plurk Fever and talks about the Plurk time line, as well as the addictive nature of Plurking.

Shai Coggins has fun, and writes about the connectivity and conversation that she finds there.

Sasha Manuel enjoys the community, communication and ideas that flow on Plurk.

Hope explains how to get the most out of Plurk, and why conversations there are better!

As well as these excellent posts about Plurk, you can find Teeg’s guide to Plurk by clicking here!

While you’re there, you can find a wealth of information about Stumbleupon, as well as a guide to another new social media platform, Kwippy!

I will be featuring more social network news here over the next few days!
