Are you a “Plurkster” or a “Twit”?
I have recently joined two social network site and am totally hooked. www.twitter.com and www.plurk.com are two really cool places to “hang out”. In both cases, you are limited to 140 characters to answer the question “what are you doing?” The networking is unbelievable! I belong to several listserves, have a myspace and a facebook… but I have never experienced anything as cool as these two new tools. They are quick and fun and a great way to network and share ideas, resources and just keeping in touch. The current debate is about which is better… most folks I know started out with Twitter and then joined Plurk. Most love the threaded conversations that Plurk provides… but are loyal to their “networks” and communities that they have formed on Twitter. With tools like www.twitterfeed.com and www.pingfm.com you can post your update once and send it to both! Easy! Either way, a “plurkster” or a “twit” or both… it is the great new way to communicate! (It also works as a really great procrastination tool!)
