A New Eclipse Plurk Theme for Twilight Fans



Just recently, I changed my You're Beautiful Plurk Theme to the newest Plurk theme at Plurk Designs. 


The Eclipse Plurk theme was made available upon the request  of friends from Plurk who are Twilight fans.

I haven't watched Eclipse yet (heard fairly good reviews about it, though) but I thought it would be cool if I used Plurk Design's Eclipse theme and have Edward and Jacob stare at me all day.  The Eclipse theme is not Plurk Design's first Twilight-inspired Plurk theme.  The site also has themes based on New Moon, my favorite being the one with the wolf pack. 


Plurk Designs is  a cool website offering free plurk themes to its users.  Lyle, the owner, is a an avid Plurker and spends much of his time connecting with his friends at Plurk.  He started to dabble with Plurk themes last year and released his first-ever Plurk theme in May 2009.


Plurk Design's first Plurk theme was based on the hit movie Star Trek and remains to be one of my favorite Plurk themes.  Since then, Plurk Designs has added more free plurk themes to its collection, most of them inspired by movies and requests from friends. 

So if you want an enhanced micro-blogging experience, check out the latest Plurk themes at Plurk Designs. You might find something that you like.  And best of all, everything's free.

Plurk Down, Hoomans Desolate


I tried to open my PLURK page and what displays is a notice (see image above) saying that PLURK is under routine maintenance for under 10 minutes. What are we hoomans going to do the whole time PLURK is not operational?

Background song (Plurk Creaures Singing): "We are the world, we are plurk creatures, we are the ones who make a brighter day, for all the hoomans...."

Tee-hee!:-P

No to Friendster, Yes to Plurk

Before you grab me by the hair, you gotta hear my story. I don't have anything against Friendster or people who have a gazillion friends in their Friendster page. It's just not my thing.

And I tell you, I received my own share of flak from people who are disgusted upon hearing that I don't have a Friendster account. Because they think I am lying when I tell them I don't have a Friendster or MySpace account. I do have a Multiply account which I don't access anymore because I always end up buying stuff online.

While social networking is not new to me, I don't think I gave myself the opportunity to really "get into" it. I have heard of micro-blogging and Twitter, even tried to sign up for it, and used it once or twice. And it was only when I joined the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit that I heard of Plurk. Yeah, this is me, Brendel the Neanderthal.

When I got home from General Santos City, my BFF urged me to sign up for Plurk as he already did. And so I did, early this morning. Proof to my "innocence" at plurk-ing is a karma of sub-13 and 10 mutual friends, plurkbuddy included. But the question is: Will I be addicted to Plurk and micro-blogging in general ? Nah. I don't think so. But I think I will be using Plurk as often as I use Yahoo Messenger. It is a great way to connect with friends and acquaintances. Heck, one can even use it to promote one's blog and create a huge fan base. If you have the stamina for it, that is.

I personally don't think I have the makings of a hardcore plurker. But it will be cool to have a million karma like a fellow blogger, Dulce, has.
