Why Plurk will not survive the Social Networking Wars
Plurk was very promising, more engaging than Twitter even. Sadly, my stint with Plurk has turned into nothing more than a social network novelty.

To kick off the year for this blog (wedding preparations not withstanding), I have decided to make a conscious effort to embrace social media. We’re not talking about collecting “friends”on Friendster, Plurk, Twitter, or Facebook here. I am talking about building one’s online reputation. Being an Internet marketer after all means putting your name out there.

With the attention the micro-blogging tool has been getting the past few weeks, I’m actually on the brink of letting the the thing go. The novelty behind gaining a “follower” has started to lose its luster. You don’t know if the person who added you wants to know what you think, or just added you in hopes of getting a reciprocated “follow”.
