I really need to learn more LOLCAT than “I can haz” and until then, I’m getting as much mileage out of the one LOLCAT I know as you can barely stomach.

Plurkbuddy announced: “Plurk’s first ever Plurktacular Design Contest! You can win one of 20 $50 Amazon.com gift certificates!” (Plurk’s official blog post)

Do all stuff creative with plurk!

I don’t think the kind of stuff I’m doing with Plurk would fit into the design category, but I’m going to speak on Power Plurking at the upcoming PodCampAZ - can I get a badge for that? At least a brownie? (plz make that the edible kind)

Plurk Tabs Gone Wild

This morning when I logged into Plurk, I wasn’t sure what made my jaw drop lower:

Plurk’s A-team adding a “Responded Plurks” tab,
or
The gazillion plurks on my timeline saying “Woohoo! We got a Responded Plurks tab!”

Anyway. Woohoo!

But then I got to thinking… this tab business, like anything good in this world, can be corrupted and misused. Say, for example, if the A-team unleashed upon us Plurkers the power to add our own tabs. What would happen?

I’ll tell ya. We’d have Plurk Tabs Gone Wild.

Witness my first rendition: Mo’ Tabs.

Soon after I plurked about this, I got suggestions for new tabs. They were great suggestions! And given the recent political plurks plundering our timeline, I figured… why not?

Result: Tabs Gone Wild.

(whaddya know, I got even more suggestions once I shared tabs gone wild, so what you’re seeing above is like, the 4th iteration, which would make it “Plurk Tabs Gone So Wild, The Bikini Tops Have Floated Down the River”)

Now we’re Power Plurkin’.

At least in the form of a jewelry line, if Plurk’s A-Team agrees to allow New York City’s Payson Cooper to design and manufacturer jewelry based on the Plurk critters.

Payson has, in fact, a prototype - see picture below:
