Blog needs love
June 4, 2010
To all Plurk users,
We have a confession to make – we need help in maintaining our blog. To be precise, we need your help.
Over the past year, we probably published like what, 4 blog posts? As a small team of 6, there just isn’t enough time. Our motivation, time and resources are spent on mundane tasks such as improving Plurk, fixing bugs, introducing new features, sobbing over angry users emails and taking out the trash. Of course, some of you have written to us before complaining about the lack of updates on our blog and that we need to do more in promoting Plurk and keep the media buzz going. I fully agree. I know how bad it reflects on us, as a community, as a company and as a product, when people find out about Plurk, go to Plurk.com, check out our blog and find that the last time it was updated was 6 months ago. Is this company even alive? We are and we are growing at a tremendous pace and we need to let people know how awesome this community is. We can do better.
So why don’t you write for us? Anything related to Plurk is welcomed. Your stories, constructive criticism, suggestions, meet ups, funny plurks, what Plurk has done to you, what you have done for Plurk (I always wanted to hear some feedback from our beloved translators) and etc. You can write whatever you want – surprise us. You probably have already written something similar on your own blog. You can cross-post it to blog.plurk.com. We will be more than happy to drive some traffic your way with disclaimer and link-backs. We can also give you access to our WordPress blog as an author. Of course, not all submissions will be published. And if we do get a lot of contributions, we will spread them out just so we have enough content to publish for the next 5 months. So please don’t worry if you don’t see your writing on our blog as soon as you submitted it.
If you are interested, you can write to us here. You can cut and paste your entire article or give us a link to your writing. Either way works. We will notify you when we publish it.
You can also write in your own native language(s). It might take us some time to google translate and review it so please be patience.
Oh and all published contributors will be given a happy, pinky microphon-ish badge as a token of our overdosing love-appreciation – tada! 
Beside from the occasional official announcements, we hope this blog will be largely maintained and written by you from now on.
Thank you in advance. Please take care of our blog.
Alvin,
co-founder, Plurk.com
