Welcome to Plurk

In the last two months, many things have been a-happening in Plurkland! Here is a short summary of the new stuff that has been added in the last couple of weeks…

Plurk poem

New Plurk user winterchild has written a poem about Plurk (who else?). Read the wonderful little ditty here!

Timeline improvements

In late June, we also optimized the viewing experience of Plurk for people with smaller screens (i.e. 1024×768), by making the timeline height variable. The timeline should now shrink if the window size is less than 500, hopefully making it easier for you to view your plurks.

Mark All As Read confirmation

Recently, we also added a confirmation button to the Mark All As Read option. The confirmation button only appears if you have more than 50+ unread plurks, or have unread private, own, or responded plurks, and should help to eliminate the problem of MAARing accidentally.

Music sharing

It is now possible to play and find music on Plurk via YouTube.

Step 1: Select the YouTube option from the “shares” qualifier.

Step 2: Find your video/music using the onsite YouTube search.

Step 3: When you add it, others will be able to play the audio in a player (located at the bottom right of your timeline).

We hope you have enjoyed the new features, but there’s still a lot more to come. Expect some big developments in the upcoming months…

Until then, team on!
