hover over the name in the plurk, click the arrow, select send private plurk. I don't think they have to follow you to get it. Not sure.

so is this a private plurk? (sorry to drop in on you)

Wait.

this isn't, otherwise you wouldn't see it

if you expand the "Plurk privacy & option" just under where you type your message you can choose who you send to.

Ah! Cool!

Got it! Thanks!

i saw that, but does it work for people not on your list too?

Yes, just tried it. YOu can send to someone not on your friends or fans list

Ah.... Very nice!!!

cool! good to know.

Do other people have "Plurk" button when responding? I have no on-screen button, just have to hit "Enter" key.

I don't have one on reply either. Enter it is

I have no button, just hitting enter ...

Interesting. On iPhone interface there is a button when responding.

to see the plurk button for ea plurk/tweet click the 'plurk page' link on the bottom right. will take u to a twitter style pg w/ it.

blackfeathers, Thanks. for some reason I never clicked on that, but I wondered what it did.

good thing this isn't a rocket ship since i am clicking on all the buttons here

this thing is weird!

So there are no direct messages? Is that the conclusion?

you can direct message usingthe "Plurk privacy & options" under your name

select the "only" tab and input the name of the person you want to receive your plurk

got it. thanks!
