Check in once a day at first and grow your friends list. It get so much better! Steal my friends!!

Kevin is so fast! That is exactly how I would respond! Pop in and respond to a few friends, keep adding friends. Welcome to Plurk!

You need around 50 people to friend/follow you to make Plurk useful to you. Add the people who respond to KevinH's plurks,

because they tend to be the ones that are around the most.

AND they are great people

I would love tips on tracking different communities too! Every group seems to be adding their own. Maybe an iGoogle page to host them all?

Plurk is really great! You will find lots of people with similar jobs/interests to bounce ideas off of, get suggestions from, etc.
