Mrs Schwarzman says Preamble : Plurk is about having conversations. It6s designed around that. Follow the principle or fail miserably .
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:14PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 1. Don’t try to read everything : individual plurks are conversation headings, only drill down those that sound interesting.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:14PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 1.1 for everything else, « mark all as read » is your friend.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:15PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 1.2 obnoxious conversations can be muted (you will not be notified of new responses)
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:15PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 2. Don’t try to follow Plurk realtime (unless you are having a realtime conversation on it anyway).
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:16PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 2.1 let Plurk aggregate, and come back to it in bouts. Don’t be overwhelemd by the « New replies » count, it’s easy to cut back.

Mrs Schwarzman says 2.2 On loggin on, scroll the timeline looking up plurks **without replies only** for interesting convos. Add replies as you see fit.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:19PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 2.3 when you ahev fondthe poitn you last left, jump back to the start of the timeline. « View Replies » and repeat 2.2 until timeline ends.

Mrs Schwarzman says ahem *when you have found the point (sorry for that)
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:20PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 2.4 only drill down convos with replies you actually want to see. Leave all others untouched.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:21PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 2.5 « Mark all as Read » when you are done.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:21PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 3. Jump back to timleine start, voilà, abotu 5 minutes work to catch up on 50+ people plurking for several hours.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:22PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 4. Plurk yourself. The stilted third person usage imposed by the qualifiers somehow seems to be universally recognised.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:23PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 4.1 Your plurk is an inviattion to converse. Do not plurk to reply to another plurk. That belongs in the originating plurk’s thread.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:24PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 4.2 Don’t worry too much about what might be a good plurk : unlike Twitter, full of its own improtance, Plurk is very informally chatty.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:25PM

Mrs Schwarzman says 5. Think friedns on away trip, not micro-blog. And enjoy

iYan says well done!

Tenebrous thinks that's very useful! good job!

Mrs Schwarzman wishes she had committed less atrocities on the English language while typing *blushes crimson*

Rev. Pâçќє†Rάt intresting.

spiderkitten thinks you should add"
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:32PM

Tenebrous adds
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:33PM

Mrs Schwarzman asks I should add *what* ?
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:33PM

spiderkitten "It's easier to just connect the timeline directly to a vein. This will keep future withdrawal symptoms to a minimum"
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:33PM

spiderkitten *laughs* sheesh plurk much? my fingers are cold, sorries
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:36PM

gracemcdunnough asks .. could you expound on "plurk yourself"?
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:37PM

Mrs Schwarzman glares at gracemcdunnough for pointing out my deficient English. « yourself » as in « do it yourself », Grace.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:38PM

Mrs Schwarzman says or else, juts go plurk
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:38PM

MeerKatje loves this short guide... thanks!
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:38PM

jjacek likes to plurk herself.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:39PM

spiderkitten likes the phrase "Go Plurk yourself."
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:39PM

gracemcdunnough was just making sure you didn't mean "plurk off"
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:39PM

Tenebrous likes the phrase "Your life, on the line" especially in the light of recent plurk-RL-revelations/privacy-policy-breakage
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:40PM

Mrs Schwarzman thinks she might as well tattoo « plurk yourself » on her forehead.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:40PM

Mrs Schwarzman says oh don’t be such a plurk, Grace
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:46PM

MeerKatje asks if one can make a conversation a 'favourite' in some way... or did I miss that in the short guide?
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:48PM

Mrs Schwarzman says to MeerKatje : not isnide Plurk, but you can bookmark the plurk page (every plurk has its own page, linked to in the bottom right corner)
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:48PM

Mrs Schwarzman wishes there was a less cumbersome way, but then, Plurk is still under active development.
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:56PM

Mrs Schwarzman says there is much more to plurk, notably the privacy / firdns versus fans / cluiqes thing, but that is another story entirely...
Jun 24, 2008 - 04:57PM

MeerKatje votes rheta as the Plurk-x-Pert...
Jun 24, 2008 - 05:16PM

Nethead says great guide
Jun 24, 2008 - 05:57PM

ArminaX says TYVM, rheta! Now, we should put this in the plurkopedia. Is there one?
