I have been working with Mark Bockenstedt who has created a Plurk updater based on a similar updater used for Twitter. Mark used the Twitter updater as a base and then updated it with a PlurkAPI allowing him to send post information to Plurk.

This is a great idea in my opinion. People are starting to use Plurk more and more, if you want to get your word out there then this is another good way of letting the world know that you are working on something.

Mark put up this updater on his website on July 3rd and I didn’t notice it right away but when I installed it there was some trouble. It looks like there are some class definitions that are shared with other plug ins so I had class conflict errors. I left a comment on his blog post and he got back to me within minutes. We worked together to determine that there was another Twitter updater needing that class and then he told me how to fix it. About 10 changes to his files and it’s installed.

So now you can read about my posts on Plurk if you are not a Twitter fan.

Go check out this plug in if you are a WordPress blogger.
