Okay, let me explain how this site works. The key is to get as many friends and fans as you can get. Why? Because your friends will fill

up your timeline with conversations "plurks" that you can respond to. FANS will receive YOUR plurks but you can't see theirs. So they can

respond to what you SAY on plurk. But you won't see their plurks until you make them "friends."

Okay, so the goal is to have a few ACTIVE friends that put up plurks every day so you have something to read, talk about and comment about.

In the upper-right hand side of your plurk screen is "interesting plurkers". These are people who are the most ACTIVE on plurk.

Go there and click on an icon and you will see the person's profile and their timeline. This is all the stuff that they've plurked

about in the past. You can respond to these plurks. Responding to people's plurks on their timelines will get people to "know you"

and they will ask you to be their friend or fan. You know this when your ALERTS (upper-left hand) has a little number in the parenthesis

look like Alerts (1) . . .thank means a person as asked to be your friend. Click on the Alerts. Then click FRIEND next to their name

and you have a new friend! Now, whenever they PLURK it shows up on your timeline (you no longer need to go to their profile page to

respond to their plurk 'cause YOU are their friend). Vice versa for YOU. Your plurks now show up on their timeline and they can respond at

.

Now, you can also FRIEND or FAN those interesting plurkers by click on the buttons that say "Add (name) . . . as friend".

If they accept your friendship, you will begin to receive their plurks and your timeline will fill up.

Each response to a person's plurk (like I am doing with yours) gives you Karma points. Each Plurk you create give you Karma points. Each

time someone repsonse to your plurk you get Karma points.

So go to interesting people and start finding people to add to your friend and fan list. Now you know how the system works.
