Step1

What is Plurk? A really snazzy site that allows you to showcase the events that make up your life, and follow the events of the people that matter to you, in deliciously digestible short messages called plurks. (Quote from its website)

Step2

How does Plurk work? First, sign up. Then post new plurks that tell your friends what you are thinking, feeling or doing and it will appear on your timeline. Invite your friends and you can see what they are up to throughout the day.

Step3

What are Plurks? A plurk is a small message or link, less than 140 characters, that you can broadcast to the whole world, your buddies or just yourself over the web, through instant messaging, and through text messaging on your mobile phone.

Step4

To Plurk means you write about your life--but not in a long drawn out way like a blog. To plurk means to chronicle the events of your always on, action-packed, storybook, semi-charmed kinda life.

on 6/27/2008 This sounds like a lot of fun, and I haven't had much response using twitter. I love the name, 'Plurk,' too. Thanks for alerting me to a really cute little phenomenon. 5 stars.
