Plurk the world
I signed up for Plurk a while back and have only made a half-hearted effort to interact with it. That is until today. Today I decided to play a little game with Plurk. I noticed that when browsing other people’s friends that it often shows what city and country that each person lives in. So I started clicking on people from other countries and seeing if they were actively using Plurk and if so I would send a friend request.
It’s simple and a bit silly, but I think it would be interesting to see the Twitter-like messages of people from all around the Earth. Sure not all of them will accept me as a friend and many of them don’t write in English but that’s OK. I can make out what some of them are saying in some cases and in other cases it probably doesn’t matter. I don’t think it’s possible to get friends in every single country in the world… but wouldn’t it be cool if you could?
If you are interested in signing up and haven’t yet, you should. http://www.plurk.com

Hi Cybrpunk
I added you as a friend on plurk. Just like you, I do really enjoy ‘hearing voices’ from all over the world.
I usually connect with other bloggers.
So far I have been concentrating on twitter, using twitterfox, where I can easily follow the popping in news, and on the other side shout out myself again.
Would be nice if there would be something similar for plurk. Actually I prefer twitter, cause there are many features and sites supporting it.
I also use friendfeed which is a great tool for following the international friends.
So …
Have a great weekend.

I’m making some good progress on this actually.
