Inappropriate?It will be nice to have a "button" so we can just Click to REPLURK that Comment of him/her so my other friends can see it and at the same time they can try be friends with that friend.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Seem to be LOTS of replurk questions on Get Satisfaction & especially on Plurk itself. Plurk needs a much better replurk method.
The button method that @uchari mentions here would be the best. When a user clicks it, rather than a cryptic URL, a plurk would appear in my timeline stating "Vdub144 replurks: WGraziadei SAYS ____" it then appears in my timeline for my friends who DON'T follow Bill, but doesn't show up new for our mutual friends. It could say on Bill's original Plurk page at the bottom that "this has been replurked by @Vdub144, @uchari and 20 other Plurkers..." if you wish.
More bots are coming on line now. Like Twitter there are CNN bots, quote bots, and Slashdot bots. With hundreds of friends, I can see the same thing requoted from a bot by like 10 people- each one an original plurk over & over. It makes it hard to follow a discussion, often spread across various plurks. Makes it hard to bookmark. And sometimes points are made in one Plurk, but not one that the best responder who has already answered that question is in.
Again, this keeps coming up as a topic. Two months before Bill posted this, I wrote this:

We LOVE plurk - but its the exponential growth that tends to burn us all out. I'm not talking about or advocating 10,000 friends, but with a network just in the hundreds I get an awful lot of repeated Plurks that would be most easily handled with a "replurk" button.
I’m happy, thankful, confident & excited to see this come about...

Inappropriate?This was a pebble in the shoe to using Plurk. Got tired of seeing 10 people all Plurk the same thing on my timeline. And it isn't so easy to delete or ignore w/out hurting friends Karma. Plurk missed the ball on this one.
Wave seems to do this right, allowing new folks into the thread, while protecting old parts. It's obviously FAR more complicated than Plurk which is supposed to be more social by design.
Plurk SHOULD have a replurk ability, that lets you put someone else's Plurk into your timeline and maintain some type of link back or spawn control.
I’m frustrated
