Recently I made myself a Plurk account, since I feel so left out by my friends I don't want them to label me as a nerd who doesn't join their league of people who makes accounts and just parks them there forever. After I signed up, I got what I expected - a somewhat rip-off of the ever popular Twitter. Except there are some more shit here than Tweetster, like, there's karma (points that you accumulated while wasting your life on the site) that you can endlessly shove into your friends' faces, and a timeline, which gives a more in depth list of plurks (equivalent to tweets) in a timespan. The timeline is kinda useful, at least for now.
Another thing I noticed about Plurk is that 99% of its users are all Pinoys. Holy shit. Am I still on Friendster? I thought that crap's dead, but it seems Pinoys decided to amp it up by creating an obvious rip off of Twitter. Now here I am again, I stepped on another trap that led to me getting surrounded by a mob ob retards who are obviously wasting precious internet bandwidth. If I find a Chinese guy on Plurk, I'll call him Best Friend in Zombieland.
There's unlockable stuff on Plurk, which will fuel the need for nerds to keep on shouting crap like, "I just got myself a XXXL pair of briefs today" or "Why should I go outside when all of my 'friends' are here on Friendster?" You can get a very retarded avatar of a pig who lost its head when you get 20 karma, then you get more weird doodles of a three year old when you gain more karma. There's also more smileys to unlock with karma so you can torment an innocent person by endlessly showering him with a barrage of smileys.
I'm just gonna keep my Plurk account running in case I pick us signals from actual humans, not teenagers in their stereotypical angsts. Maybe I'll find a Chinese or Black dude to actually communicate with, and not share useless links to Twilight or Harry Potter porno.
