What is Plurk?

Plurk is a new social networking site that is very similar to Twitter. Basically you build a friends list and then enter a “Plurk” which can be read by your friends and the world. The easiest way to describe tools like Plurk and Twitter is micro-blogging. Each Plurk is a little blog post.

How can Plurk help my business?

Plurk can support and enhance your active on ActiveRain. Start within your network of friends and associates on AR. It is a extremely easy and efficient way to inform people about a variety of things. One of the best uses for a micro blog is to promote your other activates. For example, you can announce a open house, or a price reduction on a property, perhaps a new listing. Another use for Pluck is to promote your other online activities for example a new blog post, or industry related article your read in a journal? Starting to see the possibilities?

Why now?

Plurk is a recent start-up and early adopters tend to gain the most. When (and if) Plurk becomes more mainstream established users will already have a strong footprint in Plurk. I recently wrote a blog post title “s Twitter Dead”. In the post I explain why Twitter is dying and the reason why people are migrating to Plurk.

It is easy to use!

Plurk has a simple timeline and all responses are listed under the original post. This makes it much easier to follow a discussion on Plurk when compared to Twitter. Plurk has some really fun imagery and icon which work with its name.

Karma

Plurk has its own point system like ActiveRain called Karma.
