Recently, I heard a bit of chatter on Twitter about a new micro-blogging platform called Plurk. Plurk, a lot like Twitter with a timeline and sort of an incentive structure, has been the business for the last week or so. I referred to it last night as the "true open social" because, unlike Twitter, everyone seems to get in on the conversation. Speaking of conversations, each update of 140 characters has the potential of becoming just that, a conversation, a full blown meeting where all are invited. What's happening here is that people who might have been sandboxed behind their private Twitter profiles are making contact on a level that just doesn't seem possible on Twitter.

It has a share feature which is out of control. People are sharing their otherwise private or dead accounts because they have found an existing, avid audience to engage. Which brings me to my neglected accounts. Follow me aday and expand my neighborhood dramatizations at vox. I haven't used either in quite a while but I guess this post to the aforementioned accounts (simultaneously) is the start of a whole lot more fun.
