I was just writing a similar suggestion. I don't necessarily think Ping should use Tweetburner, as this is currently pretty Twitter-specific. I'd just like to see some bit.ly style stats features for my Ping URLs. This would be a doubleplus good feature, in my book!

Amir, This seemed to work since your last comment, but today a plurk from someone I had marked as "unfollow" showed up on my timeline. I went back in the timeline and found one other plurk from here, but she doesnt' post very often so I don't know if this just started or has been going on for awhile. I marked her "follow" then "unfollow" again, and it looks like her plurks disappeared from my timeline. I have a few other friends who are marked "unfollow" and I'm pretty sure they don't show up on the timeline.

I can send you an email listing the plurkers I've unfollowed, if that helps.

I tried to unfollow someone's plurks and it appears to have worked. I did follow, then unfollow. Will update if there's a change. Thanks for fixing this!

thank you! plurk rocks! :D – bunneh, on July 24, 2008 15:18

Thank you! I just re-unfollowed any that were still showing up, and so far they're staying off my timeline! (Wish we had the dancing banana on here.) :) – Teeg, on July 24, 2008 13:31

With the help of the great community, this bug is now fixed. Thanks for those that emailed me.

In the future: you just unfollow a friend to unfollow this person.

If you have some friends, that are unfollowed, but you still receive plurks from them, then do following: Go to their profile page, follow them and then unfollow them (this will reset the following).

Hope it works this time.

I just e-mailed you. Hope it helps. :) – Teeg, on July 23, 2008 15:22

thanks! i just emailed you some information. – bunneh, on July 22, 2008 05:55

This bug really bugs us as we can't reproduce it.

If someone can mail me (amix at amix.dk) with information on what user you are trying to unfollow (nick name) and a description on what you try (how to reproduce the bug).

I will gladly look into it as it's a frustrating issue for us as well.

Kind regards,
Amir

wow, that's really bad :( – bunneh, on July 21, 2008 16:41

this bug is affecting me too, and no the plurks are not private nor clique-locked. frustrating.

like jay, i also have removed some friends just because this bug still exists, and now i see one person still in my timeline who is not a friend. STRANGER IN MY TIMELINE. this is ridiculous.

i would agree if they say if i'm not willing to follow them then why add them as friend, but then WHY make a follow/unfollow option on friends? this is about a broken feature!

I've actually got another bug as an extension to this.... if I've unfriended someone, their plurks still show up too... even if I go so far as to block them! :(

This is happening to me as well - no amount of fussing with settings or anything makes the plurks stop showing up on my timeline, and this one person makes up so much of the timeline that it overwhelms all the other plurks.

I'm really frustrated.

Kim,

Yes, I'm aware of the "My Friends" and the little Red / Gree "follow / unfollow" buttons. However, with 95 friends currently, if I see a person on my timeline that I don't want to be there. I may have to click through to page 8, 9, or 10 to get to the friend that I need to reset the on off switch.

It's easier for me to see someone on my timeline, click username, click follow and then click unfollow.

However, it appears as though this is a fruitless effort until they seem to fix finally fix this bug on this awesome feature idea. Until then, I'll still visit Plurk, but much less frequently. And I'll only read the most recent 5 or so plurks each time. This is a bummer, because some of my good friends, "LIKE YOU KIM," may have plurked before the last 20 or so Plurkers and I might miss out on when you are doing the laundry, fixing dinner, or something else vitally important like that. (slightly joking to lighten up the perceived mood of my posts here).

Really though, I like Plurk, but I'm finding it difficult to LIKE MORE with so much PLURK BACON in my time line.

As for the mobile page for my own timeline. THANK YOU! YOU ROCK!

I understand your concerns. I'll share with you an easier way to adjust your friends list as well as how to access yourself on Plurk mobile.

Click on "My Friends" in the upper left of your browser to bring up your friends list. You can click "timeline follow" to OFF and not have to go to individual friend pages. That doesn't fix their glitch though, but makes the long issue of going friend page to friend page a bit easier for you right now.

It is indeed possible to see just your own timeline on Plurk mobile by going to: http://www.plurk.com/m/u/USERNAME

So yours would be http://www.plurk.com/m/u/gspn/

(Tip to remember: in the URL the m=mobile and the u=username)

It's not fixed. I'm still experiencing this issue daily. – Cliff Ravenscraft, on July 16, 2008 05:48

I am very frustrated by my time line. I have too many friends to make Plurk useful. I have chosen to only follow about 15 of them on my time line. However, every time I go to the site, I see these folks filling up my time line. I click on their profile and it has the option to follow them, as if I'm not currently doing so.

I click to follow them, then click to unfollow them. I go back to my profile and they are no longer on my time line. However, if I close my browser and then go back to Plurk, guess who's there in my time line? A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO I HAVE SET TO NOT FOLLOW ON MY TIME LINE.

It's insane! It's one thing to have no notification service. It's another thing to not allow me to see ONLY MY PLURKS on the mobile client.

But this bug of having so many people show up on my time line even though I spend as much as 5 to 10 minutes cleaning them out by going to their profiles, clicking follow and then clicking unfollow, and only to have these same people show up the next time I log in is just too darn frustrating.

I've tried to read through most of the posts in this thread. But I'm wondering if you folks think that this is a non-issue or not. What's up?
