Email Notification for Single Private Plurks?

Posted in Plurky Stuff | October 8th, 2008

Hey everyone,

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.

If we got notified every time we go a new private message on plurk it would be insane as many people send out large group messages. However this has more to do about the single private plurk messages that are sent in the system; shouldn’t the receiver be notified by email?

Reason why I’m thinking about this is I want to message someone something. I talk with them mostly on Plurk but if I want them to get my private message and actually check it out I figured I had to go with twitter. With twitter when you send a direct message the person is notified in their email. I LIKE that feature.

That’s all I really have to say. It would be great if Plurk could make a mod so that if a private message is sent to only 1 recipient; the recipient gets notified by email.

What do you think?

Stay tuned for more things plurk!

I would love that!

Actually… it wouldn’t matter because I rarely get private plurks but I do think it’s a great idea!

I would indeed love that. Personally I think I’d prefer it if it worked so, when I got private plurks to myself alone then I get notified. Or even better, to get alerts regarding private plurks rather than emails - just as you do when somebody fans/friends you.

I think that email notifications are one of the most useful things on the internet. I love being able to go to my inbox and immediately see all the changes that I need to check across the web, be they comments on my blog posts, replies to forum threads, advertisement requests on my blogs, etc.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the trend toward email notifications increases until you can do almost anything from one central location.

I agree with NathanKP that email notifications are great! I do like the idea of only private plurks getting email notification.

Yeah great idea here. I’m actually pretty sure Plurk should hire you as a usability guru

Actually, the subject matter reminds me of the movie, “The Color Plurkle,” and a very old pop charts music hit called “One-Eyed, One-Horned Flyin’ Purkle People Eater.” Are you sure about Plurk origins? My boxful of Crayola Crayons even has Purkle, and “Purkle Mountains Majesty” is a familiar phrase from one of America’s most patriotic songs. . .

(and wasn’t there something about Peter Piper picked a peck of purkle pickled peppers . . .?)

Have a great week ahead! Best - Hal
