Plurking... Yet another way to while away time...

You can Plurk.

As if I'm not already a member of almost all networking/self-improvement/diet sites (what is it? social pressure online?), I decided against my better judgement and joined Plurk. Similar to Twitter (I'm a member too, ulk), you can post updates or your status. This is similar to the "what are you doing now" of Facebook and Friendster's shoutout. That's all, you say? Well, you can share links and videos. But it's no Multiply where you can blog entries and photos to your heart's content. It's no Facebook where you can poke, throw a sheep, take quizzes, and add a hundred of apps to your profile. It's no Friendster where you can parade how many (imaginary) friends you have :))

But on Plurk you can (pretend --did I just type that?) tell everyone how busy and interesting you day is/was.

Status/updates are presented on a timeline, making it more visually appealing as compared to Twitter. It's a fun way to keep your friends posted and to see what other people are doing. Like Twitter you can update Plurk via your mobile phone at phPlurk (for Globe and Smart mobiles only, read the FAQ here).

Downside, perfect stalker potion.
