Plurk vs. Twitter

Ok, so I've said before. I am a technoboob. I never really got the hang of StumbleUpon (but I still add sites to it), and I was late to the whole Web 2.0 thing. But I have something to share that is so good, it'll knock your socks off.

You want to be part of this club.

Lots of people use Twitter, the quick burst here-is-what-I-am-doing-right-now one liner microblogging that continuously makes me laugh (I'm "GardenPunk" on Twitter). Now imagine those notes, but on a timeline, and with all comments linked under the same entry? And crazy smileys you earn through karma? Now that's Plurk.

I've seen a couple posts about how cool Plurk is (including this one from Anthony at CompostBin), and I have ignored them, scared of yet another thing I would have to manage on the web. (There seems to be an ever growing list of sites I have to maintain/log into/check. Do you feel this way too?)

But I promise, Plurk is way more fun. it takes a few minutes to get used to it, but I love it. I even tempt fate and sometimes use it at work. I just like to think it is making me more productive...

Anyway, hop on over to Plurk to see what us garden bloggers are up to. We're having a heck of a time! You should join us.

Oh yeah, and I'm "GardenPunk"...imagine that!

EDIT: Effective 2/21/09, I have decided to stop Plurking. I feel overwhelmed with trying to keep up with Plurk AND Twitter AND Flickr AND Google Reader AND blogging...so something had to give. As much fun as I've had over there, I'm glad to be able to refocus on those other areas I've been neglecting.
