Plurk Should Upgrade Private Plurks
Basically if you get a lot of private plurks, most are group sent to you and 50+ other plurkers. Not replying isn’t required or expected from everyone. However if someone sends one EXCLUSIVELY to you; they probably expect / hoping for a direct reply.
The current problem is that these plurks sent just to you are being lost in the noise of all the others. Checking every private plurk is as logical as checking every single plurk on your timeline. This issue becomes increasingly problematic the more friends you have.
Proposed solution? Make private plurks that are just sent to one person a different color and/or make them always stay at the front of timeline before group ones until they are checked. This will give them the priority they deserve over the mass recipient ones.
I’ve started a plurk discussing the issue here.
Stay tuned for more things plurk,

Having them a different colour would likely solve the problem. Or maybe adding a “star” to ones for your eyes only would probably solve the whole problem…

@Olivia Definitely; let’s hope they do something of this nature in the near future.
[...] I’ve been continuing to use Plurk but also branching off into other networks as well. Today’s topic goes back to the issue of private plurks and notification. [...]
There’s now a Private tab next to My Plurks (just below the timeline) that will show you All or New Private Plurks that you’re part of. You don’t really need any email notifications. Anytime you open the plurk page, the notification is right there on the Private tab (the number indicates the new responses on any of your private plurks).
Granted, you can only check if there’s a response to your private plurk when you have your Plurk page opened. But most plurkers I know keep their Plurk pages open all day long, so… I don’t really see the problem here.

I dont know if they should upgrade them or not. Things like this may have it draw back especially for facilities management professionals who use Plurk in their day to day activities such as building maintenance, electrical and mechanical engineering jobs and serching for vacancies within London and UK. FM careers may not like it?
