Plurkit on Adobe Air
I’ve been playing around with Aptana and Adobe Air to see if I could create a basic application. What I created was Plurkit; an Adobe Air version of Plurk mobile.
Ok, I’ll be the first to admit, this is not as good as something like Twhirl. 
However, it is my first attempt at anything in Adobe Air so I’m pretty happy.
I didn’t use the Plurk API and do a lot of crazy coding. All I did was take the mobile version of Plurk and embed it into an Adobe Air application. And voila; Plurkit!
Plurk Lurker – Basic Plurk Search
Ever want to search Plurk.com for topics or friends? Well there isn’t a formal search yet, however you can search with Plurk Lurker, a customized Google search just for Plurk.com.
Plurk Lurker makes it quick and simple to find information on Plurk. It is limited to what Google can see, but it’s better than nothing. You can find posts or users as long as their information is public.
Granted, it’s pretty basic but it’s better than none; which is what I’ve found otherwise. I’m sure as soon as an API opens up, someone will create a better Plurk search.
Plurk Firefox Sidebar [Updated x2]
I recently discovered Plurk. A micro-blogging site much like Twitter, only with more features, a cool layout and that headless thing!
I’m a fan of the interactive and innovative timeline of posts. However some people feel the timeline is a bit busy and go for the simplified mobile version. So I decided to take a bit of code and put the mobile version in Firefox’s sidebar for easy access.
The Plurk Mobile Sidebar comes complete with Firefox 2 & 3 support, a headless thing button for your toolbar and a keyboard shortcut. The actual features of the Plurk sidebar application are under Plurks control.
Lets Get Social
I’m always looking to connect with more people via Facebook, StumbleUpon, Mixx or whatever social media circle. If you want to be my friend, check out my social media profile page and connect up with me.
The more virtual friends I have, maybe my stories will get Dugg more or my Oregon Trail wagon will survive the trip!
