but then, I don't understand Twitter.

Not sure I really understand Plurk all that much, either! But I like it better.

twitter is for broadcasting, and plurk is for conversations.

MissM, you are very cool to help me try to figure this out. So, when you mean broadcasting... all I see are people saying, "I'm going to

work" "I'm baking a cake." blah blah

I mean, is that it?!

it some sort of marketing tool I don't get?

I've never used Twitter so I can't say I have an opinion.

it can be, or for "geek celebrities" my life isn't interesting enough for broadcast, either

good enough. To me, it is vastly boring, so I feel I'm missing something. I just don't get it.

But think if I keep asking, someone can explain it.

are you a geek celebrity?

I've rubbed up to celebrity and found it about as exciting as Twitter.

oh heck no. lol I am a geek, and I follow some of the interesting, but not too posty folks

I like Plurk alot better, but almost none of my longtime friends use it, they all use twitter, so I have to switch back and forth

yeah never used Twitter here either but my friends all switched to Plurk, so it must be better
