		<description>Thanks for the mentions Jane!

@Casi - I do want answers but I also want a conversation. I try and push that as much as possible. If I was strictly after facts I&#039;d use a search engine. 

Plurk is like the evolution of the blog. If yo want stagnant commercial information search engines are great. Blogs came around and suddenly you could hear what *someone* a real person actually thought about it.

Now we have plurk; you can participate in an actual conversation in real time on any topic.  Instead of older results and bloggeries it&#039;s like mini focus groups; pretty cool.</description>

		<description>That makes a lot of sense, Ethnicomm!

Given that Plurk flattens the world, I need to be mindful of when people I usually Plurk with are online, to maximize results and minimize the suspicion that I&#039;m just Plurking to myself.</description>

		<description>I think that there is an optimum time frame in which you should ask questions. Even though there are plurkers from all over the world, I would suggest that your question would likely get more responses if you posed a question at a time when your friends were most likely to be online. While this sounds obvious, it is dependent on your friends being in the same time zone as you are.

I have noticed that first thing in the morning EST during the weekdays seems to work better for me than evenings or weekends. Of course, I am in the EST zone and most of my plurking buddies are as well. A few like Jane are on the west coast of course :)</description>

		<description>you may be right about bloggeries&#039; intent, Casi, it may be both to increase his karma and also gain answers. still, he knows how to ask the type of questions that gather many answers! most of my questions get maybe one or two responses :-)</description>
