New In The App Store – Plurk On The iPhone

Got Plurk? Are you a plurkrastinator like I am? Do you plurk more than you tweet? If you answered no to all three questions or have no idea what Plurk, a plurkrastinator or a plurk is, then read on to be converted and/or enlightened. If, on the other hand, you answered yes to each question, boy am I so glad to meet you – a fellow plurker on WOiP! Have you heard the good news?

Yes, Plurk, the micro-blogging site similar to Twitter that has compelled many an employee (myself included) to remain stuck to their ergonomic chairs, incessantly sending updates a.k.a. plurks to their friends and fans to push their karma up (karma is sort of a measure of one’s progress in, or addiction to, Plurk), is finally on the iPhone – thanks to a native app called, well, Plurk on the iPhone. Emphasis on finally because apparently this app was submitted for Apple’s approval way back September last year. After spending four months in App Store limbo, it’s now out and ready to satisfy my and your mobile plurking needs.

With the Plurk on the iPhone app, you can retrieve and view your and your friends’ timelines, reply to plurks, edit and delete your plurks, and view and manage your Plurk contacts, among others. Plurk qualifiers, such as is, thinks, loves, has and shares, are integrated within the app, as well as hints to including emoticons in your plurks, e.g. type “:-)” for a simple smiley or “(woot)” for a particularly psyched emoticon.

Plurk on the iPhone is a great alternative to the Plurk mobile site and is available for absolutely free. Download it HERE in the App Store to start experiencing the wonders and addictive powers of plurking or to begin increasing your karma through your iPhone/iPod Touch. Who knows, you might reach Plurk nirvana in no time.
