Plurk has become a second home. Plurk has, for me, such a status, that no other service can take its place

I believe there’s also an addictive factor, which applies to those susceptible (as is true with all addictions) — a combination of the demanding Karma system, and the immediacy of the AJAX updates in the lower left corner of the timeline, new Plurks, new responses, always “just one more” before you click away. I base this belief, in part, on the fact that I know many very avid social media users who checked out Plurk and said “meh — I don’t get it”. This is probably a lot like trying coke or heroin for the first time, not everyone proceeds to become a cokehead or a junkie, but those who do, oh, they “get it”.

Welcome to the subset of online social folk who “get” Plurk, we’re always happy to add another addict to the fold.
