Plurk is here, and after a few weeks of testing it out, I think here to stay. It’s a wonderful site for getting to know the more personal side of people (esp. in my industry), networking, and some heated debates. Plurk also sports a powerful feature, not yet seen on the other popular social site Twitter, called Cliques.
There are several people that would say Plurk is a time waster, and that Twitter is where the “news” is at. I agree with that, but only because Plurk is still new compared to Twitter, and Cliques aren’t yet being used to their full potential… yet.
Creating Cliques is Quick
- Click on the “My Friends” link at the top left.
- Click on the “Cliques” tab in the new window.
- From here you can name your new Clique.
- Now type in the names of the people you want to add.
What to do with Cliques
Well now that you’ve spent the time to create Cliques on Plurk, it’s time to let the lucky people know they have been added. Cliques are missing the ability to invite your friends to join you, but there is a simple way around this! Check out ShirleyTipy’s blog to learn more about who and what to do with your privates on Plurk.

Okay okay, guess this Plurk thing isn’t going away. Did you ever find any extensions/tools for managing plurk accounts yet? That’s the only thing really holding me back at this point.

I’ve been wanting to know how to add some cliques to my plurk! I have become addicted to plurk, and I’m sure I will be setting up many cliques soon. You did a great job of explaining everything, thanks!

Still no real browser application other than putting plurk.com/m in a Firefox side bar. I’m sure one is feverishly in the works somewhere.
