Spotlight On: Plurk
Plurk is a new kind of microblogging site. Blogging= what I do on this site, and what other people do on sites you probably read. Microblogging= itty bitty blogs, usually around 150 characters or less that typically state what a user is doing/thinking/reading/writing/feeling, etc. at that particular moment. Twitter is one of the most popular micro-blogging sites, but hasn’t attracted much in the way of a teen audience. Plurk, with its funky graphics, “cliques” (groups), and karma (akin to earned points, which earn different features for Plurk users), looks to be the forerunner in attracting the much-desired teen demographic. So, check it out, Mom and Dad. Let the kiddos know about it if you approve (but make sure you know their usernames and check up on them to see what they’re plurking about!).
