Does plurk have a benefit?

Over the past few years, I’ve accepted much of the social media that has come down the pike:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Last.fm
• Myspace
• LinkedIn

And more.

But plurk? I don’t know what it is – but I’m having trouble adopting it. I like the concept – mini conversations that basically anyone can jump into. A little more adaptable than twitter in that way. Yet, there’s something that keeps me from fulling accepting it, fully using it. It’s fun, but . . .

Maybe it’s the time line aspect? It has a design that doesn’t flow in what I consider a logical pattern. Or something. I don’t know . . . ??

I’m sure it has great potential and, at some point in the future, it could ultimately be one of those social media tools we can’t imagine *not* using. Right now, though, I’m having serious trouble getting my head around it.

If you’re an avid plurk user or you can at least espouse it’s merits in a way that changes my thinking, please share! I’d love to hear your thoughts on plurk or even on social media in general.
