They'll show up in the recipients' main timelines as well as in their "Private plurks" timeline. Is that what you're seeing?

annhandley do you see a lock icon on the plurk? If you do, it's private, even though you'll see it in your timeline.

As long as they have the little lock box icon, they're private even when they show up in your main timeline.

Plurk has some serious usability problems.

that happened to me when I first tried it. It wouldn't work. Seems fine now though!

Just keep your blouse buttoned Handley!

If I saw them, and I don't see any plurks here with the lock icon, you would have real cause for concern.

I dunno Ann sorry. I do not even enter anything from the Plurk website. Every web 2.0 platform message I create is sent out from Ping FM.

TheWillingtonCompanies: Doesn't that rather defeat the purpose of the Plurk model? Plurk isn't for declarations of "I have done this!"

Rather, it's for conversing and sharing information. If you want to advertise and create worthless demonstrative comments, use Twitter.
