Hi Anne, welcome to Plurk!

Comparing to Twitter, it's the flat vs threaded discussion debate

welcome to plurk!

hi! glad u r here!

Once you get some friends, do a test post in various times of day. Ask for feedback on both Twitter and here. See which gives better resp.

oh, and nevermind the Karma. It's just a plurk ploy to get you to behave well in social networking. That's rarely a problem for us.

u can go to ping.fm to post to twitter and plurk at the same time

the code is vivalaping

And I recommend about 20-30 friends for a newbie. Any less than that and this can be really boring. Any more than that can overwhelm at 1st.

Welcome to Plurk. Great folks on a fun network!

Welcome to Plurk! You helped me when I first started Twitter...I'm glad to see you here too.

Welcome! Give Plurk some time. You'll soon be addicted like the rest of us!

you can find all the responses to your plurk in one place.

Welcome and greetings from Virginia! Love the name of your town... We have great discussions here about education & life & dinner menus.
