A list of suggestions

These are a collection of suggestions that have come to mind as a result of using Plurk for only a week or so. We have a clique of about 20 users, and some of these suggestions arise from our use of Plurk as a group. I also realize that some of these suggestions have probably already been mentioned or discussed. Pardon any repetition. I also realize the development team may already be quite aware of these requests and already working toward them or unable to do so because of limitations of which I may be totally unaware. This is by no means a negative or complaining post. I am also finding many distinct features and functionality that are unique to Plurk. I won't take the time to enumerate those, but they are indeed appreciated and notable. I apologize if these should have been listed separately.

A way to show links for my other 'hangouts' and social websites on my Plurk page. Cross traffic doesn't hurt, it helps. Some privacy options may be helpful in this regard or otherwise connected to my regular plurk privacy.

An option for the default send on plurks to be other than public (at least with in browser plurk, if not possible in the mobile version). I am part of a group that often has predominately clique plurks. That option could still allow for another plurk on the fly different from the user's current default setting whatever that might be.

A way to forward plurks. In that forwarding it would be dreamy to have many selections such as public, public but those who haven't seen, all friends, all friends who haven't seen, a specific clique, a specific clique but those who haven't seen, obviously individual friends, and so forth.

A way to favorite plurks for easier navigation at a later time.

A way to edit or delete plurk replies within a thread.

So that newcomers initially coming to plurk may more easily know and configure all the options in the setting up and configuring of their account and do so properly, I have these suggestions. Have either the top tabs entitled "My Friends" on the top left and the "My Account" on top left, be either one tab or at least located immediately next to each other. The reason being is that some may overlook one or the other in the initial learning curve, specifically in the "My friends" tab they may not initially see the Timeline following options and the Clique setup. I believe those may be vital enough to some to necessitate some type of tweaking in some form. I'm not exactly sure how this could be accomplished, if feasible. It did however seem something for that I personally encountered discontinuity with and specific difficulties. Then again that may just be me.

A way to view friends availability or status, such as online, available, away, and so forth. That might also include a privacy options for a plurker so they can hide or manually set their status to something other than what is 'accurate'.

Thanks for both listening and the services and functionality you already offer.
