Plurkaholics!

In the dark twisted world of microblog love affairs, Plurk is the wife and Twitter, the mistress! At first, the wife and I had a wonderful relationship. We talked everyday, sometimes many times a day. We have our private jokes and we giggled at our special codes that only we understand. Our conversations are at once [...]

one thing i gotta say about the plurk crowd is that there are many great people who are happy to welcome you back even after you’ve been gone for a while.

That said, I’m on Twitter more now, because I’ve had [...]

Payson Cooper plurked on SwordMama‘s line of Plurk plush creatures. I don’t know which is cuter, the plush dolls or the personal stories that come with each. For example, there is Wanna Be Michael Phelps Plurk Bunny and The Mayor of Plurkville ; I didn’t even know Plurk had a mayor, but there you go. SwordMama’s Plurk Plush Creatures may be [...]

I aim to offer a fresh perspective on the use of this new social media platform for the attendees, many of whom may be interested in leveraging the [...]

I really need to learn more LOLCAT than “I can haz” and until then, I’m getting as much mileage out of the one LOLCAT I know as you can barely stomach.
