BIRD1, if you go into the PLURK ACCOUNT forum in the Blackboard discussion forum, everyone has left their names there.

Just take their name & put www.plurk.com in front of it. For example, my name is mkbwsu so you would use www.plurk.com/mkbwsu

Once you see their timeline, at the bottom in what will likely be the orange area, you should see an ADD FAN and ADD FRIEND button.

ADD FAN means you're following their timeline, but they don't have to follow your's.

ADD FRIEND means you're asking them if you can follow their timeline & for them to follow your timeline.

I generally ADD FRIEND if I think the person is interesting or shares similar interests to me.
