Plurk is really not growing?

I recently joined Plurk.com but I already had an account before but I delete it because of personal reason. So I came back because most of my friends used to hang-out in the sites since few months. Will add and checking updates is the first steps to connect them. While I’m waiting the reply from my friends, I check the comments and popularity status of the Plurk.com.

The question is, Plurk is growing or continuing decline?

Here are some comments:

• Plurk is totally original but its main page screams generic
• The main page has no video on how and why to use this new network site
• No promotion obviously
• The private messages are good but in the other side are lame. No notification at all. That can kill relationship.
• KARMA is useless in that it’s just a toy to get more emotes, some users didn’t see it having a real purpose
• Time consuming with the web interface
• “Good or bad”, no matters. Some people love useless stuff.

Will, I try to realize some people thoughts. When I first joined the network and try to explore the network services, it feels so complicated because of the interface, confusing timelines. That my first impression anyhow. It is friendly if you really explore and make sense joining the conversation and updating your time lines. I think KARMA is matter to boost and make silly competition to the friend you have and to the other user who viewed your Plurk page.

Plurk is useful networking site. Recommended by thousand and commented by millions.
