22 Reasons to Plurk

I've really become addicted to Plurk. The Karma points system is what really got me. I need to get Karma. Anyway, if you like blogging and you like making friends online, then you're going to love Plurk.

Some of my online friends recommended it. At first I thought it was going to be a waste of time, but as it turned out, I've gotten a lot out of Plurk. First I started connecting with online friends and co-workers. Connecting with them gives me ideas to write about and helps me get motivated.

Then I started looking up other parents of kids with autism. This has helped me realize that I'm not alone in dealing with difficult, although gifted, children. Maybe you have something you need help with, maybe Plurk can help you too.

After you've tried Plurk, come back here and tell me what you think about it. Also, I want to know, which do you like better Plurk or Twitter?
