This is pretty easy, just text in messages and check your timeline once in a while. Also find people you like to communicate with.

thanks jupe. it's like when I started twitter, it's empty til you find people. now how do I do that?!

You can find people using the Find/invite friends on the menu or just browse Plurk's public timeline for someone who might be interesting.

thanks. now do I get on to the plurk timeline, please? ta
