Starting in July, Plurkable.com and PlurkCAST will be holding a weekly contest every week for four weeks straight. Participants will be asked to help promote the PlurkCAST via various methods, and will gain more chances to win with each time they help.
The prize winners will be randomly chosen live on the air during the PlurkCAST each week, and prizes will be awarded accordingly.
This is an opportunity for you to get your website, your blog, or your company involved with a HOT social networking podcast show. Our first show (yesterday) had 60 live chatters, a plethora of live callers, and has since seen over 100 downloads of the mp3/podcast file. We expect this to get even bigger over the next few weeks.

Another sneaky feature appears on Plurk.com today; it’s time to search! Yes, Plurk now has a search utility which allows users to search their own timelines, other people’s Plurks and for other humans in Plurkistan. It’s a tiny icon located on the lower right hand corner of your timeline. Read the rest of this entry…
After yesterdays highly successful PlurkCAST I got to thinking about the implications of social networking via Plurk. Plurk is new and just starting to heat up, and I personally believe it will transform in to a far more interactive community than Facebook or Twitter, or any other social network platform. The system is ripe for growth, and has plenty of room for new features and applications. It wouldn’t be difficult at all for Plurk to implement much more in depth social profiles, and they’ve only touched the tip of the ice berg with regards to networking tools.
We’ve heard of meet-ups, right? Heck, I’ve been to a few. We see social networking/new media conferences happening all over the world, but for the most part these are high dollar events that tend to ignore the majority of social networking communities.
Here is my question to you… and this might be a tad ambitious.. but hey I’m an ambitious kind of guy. What if in 2009 there was a PlurkCON? A national gathering of Plurkers and social networking junkies? I’m talking two full days of networking, social media panels, workshops, parties, etc. What if we were able to find sponsors to put on an entire event? And to keep the pricing low, we could even do it as a not-for-profit event.
If this were made a reality, would you try and attend?
Time for another Plinks Post (Plinks = Plurk Related Links). Todays Plinks will also be discussed on the PlurkCAST, which airs this afternoon at 4:00 PM central time.
Enjoy!
-Plurk & The Blogosphere
Plurk, it’s the newest addiction on the internet. It’s allows people to meet, chat, and develop friendships that otherwise would not be possible. Plurk has allowed me to meet many people from across the world; there is nothing like seeing people from Australian say “good morning” as you Read the rest of this entry…
Thomas McMahon here, aka TwisterMc, and I’d like to share a few of my recent Plurk creations.
First off is the Plurk Firefox sidebar. This Firefox extension takes the mobile version of Plurk and adds it to Firefox’s sidebar for quick and easy access to Plurk. Works cross platform and in Firefox 2 & 3.
