Underneath the message field there's a little drop down that allows you to type in one or more names that will send what's called a Private Plurk. It's pretty cool! -Kim Krysta,

The only thing that I find frustrating is no private messaging to let other users know to hook up with me. So that we send things back forth because of only one option. Twitter can kiss Plurks ass.

It's more of an actual conversation as each plurk can develop a context beyond its initial statement by replies. You don't have to send a new single message if you want to continue a conversation. That means you also aren't forced to follow a conversation that doesn't interest you. Very cool. It's also viral by design, which is a good thing from two aspects, scalability and accessibility. When someone plurks, their friends see it, if a friend replies, their friends see the whole context and so on and so on... (c; That's great from the getting people involved standpoint very viral, and because it's based on a plurk's context, There isn't the need to follow everyone in case you miss something (that doesn't mean it won't happen, just that it doesn't have to happen). It brings up a question though. How does that work when a a friend replies to a plurk from a protected account or from a private plurk? I don't know yet, but it makes me wonder. It’s a fun tool.

Thanks for sharing. I was thinking Plurk could really do some amazing things if they incorporated the Search function and allowed for groups. A Plurk user administrates and people can join. I would encourage the world to come to Plurk if that were the case! Think of the interactivity and the planning that could be had without friending or following others! Great thoughts there Alison!

I found my productivity nose dive yesterday as my obsession with plurk increased. It was great fun, but kinda like cotton candy, after it was all over I couldn't remember the jist of what was going on, where it happened and it almost just vanished into thin air! Definitely agree - with this mode of communication a search feature is ESSENTIAL...perhaps the hash's will make a reappearance here and that will help But overall as far as people I like to interact with, I definitely prefer Plurk, much more intimate and I've already made a couple new friends who I feel like it was easier to get to know through this interface...
