Plurk?
After saying that I wouldn’t, I got assimilated into the world of Plurk. It’s like a more visual version of Twitter and for some reason the Ravelry knitting crowd have adopted it with great gusto.
I thought I wouldn’t like it but I’m finding it surprisingly addictive; for me it’s a combination of the best bits of Facebook and instant messaging without the disadvantages. I got bored with Facebook because there’s way too much junk on it (as you can tell from this and the last post, I like my internet to be pretty clean and linear) but the ‘Kirsty is…’ box was always my favourite thing about it. Plurk is basically a whole series of ‘Kirsty is…’ boxes without all the crazy requests to join this, that and the next thing. I don’t use any sort of instant messaging service because I absolutely can’t stand being interrupted by little pop-up boxes when I’m working but Plurk feels like an instant messaging service that I control.
If you’re on Plurk, feel free to add me.
And don’t worry, I promise I won’t start writing blog posts in the third person, even though I’ve been thinking in pithy third person sentences for several days now!
