if Plurk already has it and he just doesn't know about it cuz he's a n00b

Plurk needs "tags" like blogs have that people can Search by topic

that would make it easier to find Friends with common interests

I've plurked about this before, though I said like the interest links on LiveJournal.

that could work as well

some way to increase Friends count, is all - not that I need to spend *more* time keeping up with Plurk!

look for interesting plurkers on the interesting plurkers page.
