I was challenged by CableGirl to Plurk and blog at the same time. Oh, and I stand up to challenges, fool. (And she’s smarter than I am, so I bow down.)
Earlier today, I received an innocent email from the Church of St. Lotus about “Plurk.” I’ll try anything new, especially if the Blog Oprah says so.

I sign up, and within, NO JOKE, 2 minutes I’m hooked.
Think of Twitter on serious heroin, crack, and speed.
I had delusions of gradure of actually getting things done today. But no. Crackhead Plurk cannot be quit.
I can’t even walk away.

I’m sharing this with you to show just how bad it is. Anna peed on the floor while I was Plurking. But I’m blaming her because she only asked me ONCE to help her go potty.
“When Mama’s plurking, please ask at least 10 times, and then wait for my aknowledgement.”
How dare these kids try to interfere in the newest social networking site? How DARE you try to get my attention! Mama has updates to read!

This shiz is so easy to get sucked into, it takes NO training, NO FAQ, and NO help to learn. Yeah, you might have a question here or there, but as an expert (all 6 hours of plurking today), I’m here to help.
If you don’t want to get SUCKED in, DON’T sign up.
But you might like it. Who knows, you might not get addicted.
Come on, try it. You’ll like it.
(I apologize for the crappiness of this post – I’ve had one eye on my updates wondering what I’m missing.)

Okay I see the potential but here’s the problem I’m having .. which if you can tell me how to solve would make all the difference. How do you find people to follow/friend/stalk if you don’t keep an address book with those people in it? There doesn’t seem to be a way to search? For example: I don’t have Blog Oprah in my email anywhere ’cause she’s a superstar and I’m just a peon… Twitter doesn’t care it says stalk away… Plurk seems to require I am only 1 degree away from her to get started? Advice? Assvice? Or just tell me to go away you pesky little person.

These are the first good words I have heard about Plurk…you may have pursuaded me to try it. Ah maybe not.
My sis is also addicted to Plurk and she pissed me off whenever I need to use my PC and I can’t take her off my chair! And I am amazed that even you likes Plurk…I guess, I need to give it a try

I’ve received 2 or 3 invites to Plurk in the last week. I don’t need another online addiction. I think my family would revolt.

As I type I am staring at 1 unread! My kids hate PLURK, says I hog the computer now! I do believe I see you on there often too. I managed to post, PLURK, Twitter and tend to dogs this morning, OK the dog used the floor, but I cleaned it up! We should start a support group of those addicted or at least hire a maid!
justmylife’s last blog post..Good Morning All!
i’m suddenly feeling so out of it. i have never plurked. but am deathly afraid of heroin, crack and speed. i don’t know…
Blog Oprah?! I love it! She is one amazing woman, eh?
Yeah, so I’m not quite hooked yet, but give me another day or two and a few more friends who will actually respond.
A Jill of All Trades (Wendy)’s last blog post..Down by the river.
Ah HAH! See… OHMommy tried to drag me down by inviting me to succumb to yet another social network that will occupy every breathing minute of my life and I just. cannot. do. it. I’m going to rip up my plurk invitation and never look at it’s puppy dog eyes again! I’m already like 2 months ‘clean’ from cre8buzz and now this? Uh uh. No siree.
Mommica’s last blog post..It’s Business Time.
Plurk? This is the first I’ve heard of it. Now I’m torn between resisting temptation to yet another addiction and feeling left out. To plurk or NOT to plurk. Maybe I oughta first ask my doctor if Plurk is right for me. Are there any side effects?
