Social networks like Facebook, and MySpace demand ever-changing, entertaining content and earlier this year I stumbled across a website that can help beginning Bloggers like myself stay motivated to post content online.
Plinky is a free site that you can join to have thought-provoking, idea-inspiring writing prompts sent directly to your e-mail address. These ideas can then be either answered via Plinky for other users to read, or posted on your particular website for your readers to enjoy.
Themes to respond to range from ecological issues to what-if situations and are displayed in a list format. The list can then be sorted by either newest posted prompt or oldest.
I suppose that Plinky could also be used as a polling question engine (with some tweaking) for those of us who use Poll Everywhere on our wiki/blog locations or use the polling tool offered with Cover It Live during live blog sessions.
I personally would rather read a response to "There's never enough time, is there? What would you do with an extra three hours today?," compared to a one-lined "we're out of cereal again; headed to the store. AARRRGGG" update.
