  • MarkSheppard says
    "your life, on the line" The dog must tried to go through the fence.
  • brofkand says
    that must change before they plan to take on twitter :-)
  • jeffmckown wishes
    for more Karma points so he can have the one-eyed-lizard picture. For now, it's the duck.
  • vanekkendonk likes
    the blowfish loading animation.
  • aorick likes
    the duck-like thing
  • Hillary
    it's creeping me out
  • ChrisAldrich says
    It really looks more like a ham with a tail and legs...
  • jasonpercival says
    I think it looks creepy as well.
  • jackjohnson thinks
    Its got everyone talking about a logo...Pretty smart
  • dvander says
    it is clearly a Plurk. That's just what they look like. :-D
  • bearclawcoffee asks
    is this available on mobile and or SMS?
  • steverosebush thinks
    it just looks like a beheaded dog / pig or whatever you say it is.
  • timothyandrew says
    the bone sticking out adds for a nice touch. :-)
  • timothyandrew thinks
    the bone sticking out adds for a nice touch. :-)
  • spiri feels
    the same way
  • moeffju
    I think it's funny. Also, you can change it in your profile.
  • chuckreynolds says
    I like the little characters - personally I went with the flying eyeball
  • FreddieB says
    My God, I thought it was a ham with feet.
  • jimlyons says
    it seems to be wagging it's tail must be happy
  • AndyinFinland feels
    the same way about the logo as Leo. Changed the one on my profile. Maybe it's our age, Leo
  • TJCS63 says
    looks like a ham shank that sprouted legs and a tail... Franken Food... cool. will this mutate us?
  • thor13 says
    i choose the weird bat looking thing :-&
  • ezra loves
    the default logo... off-beat and amusing (LOL)
  • shaneo thinks
    the karma creatures are cool, sort of, but is not sure what the heck they are.
  • fsulawyer thinks
    the decapitated dog logo is just sick. (And not good sick either.)
  • JulianN likes
    the puffer fish, but the beheaded beast, not so much.
  • brianpartridge says
    I think it's odd that his tail is still wagging, isn't it? What does it mean?
  • melissaox hates
    the logo and thinks its kinda scary :'-( and creepy.
  • Toby Weston says
    Dvorak is loving the logo ;-)
  • ianmunroe likes
    the Plurk logo. It's a zombie dog.
  • SierraPhotog says
    the logo can be changed in your profile; looks like it's all karma-based, tho
  • daynah hates
    it too! Creepy!
  • lu_lu says
    it looks like ham, with legs. somewhat offensive. zombie dog would need a head to eat other dog's brains.
  • Nostrum354 says
    I agree. It looks like a ham with legs
  • fsulawyer loves
    that he can replace the headless dog with the wingless bird. By why do they all have missing body parts? The bat is even 1 eyed
  • heavensrevenge asks
    why the beheaded dog looks so happy...
  • ZillaFan thinks
    it reminds me of John Carpenter's The Thing for some reason I cannot comfortably explain. Is that a new head it is growing??? Weird graphic.
  • kasnj says
    amen to that - hate it! :-&
  • SiggiHrafn thinks
    that you have to earn karma points in order to "purchase" nicer logos.
  • yorgle feels
    that you all should just change it to one of the other Karma 0 logos
  • jimmyb says
    They're all pretty weird.
  • chimney is
    more or less ok with the logo, but finds it a little wierd as well
  • danlovejoy says
    They're all kind of grotesque.
  • spsmyth says
    looks like a cartoon canned ham with little legs--disturbing zombie imagery.
  • spsmyth says
    So zero Karma means you get headless Dogma? :-P
  • jimmyb says
    Pretty much!
  • egelmex loves
    the dog logo
  • spsmyth says
    I'm using the flying Mike Wazowski thingee for my Karma creature
  • spsmyth feels
    that you rate a star next to your avatar when you get at least 10 replies to a plurk
  • neek says
    Leo, you can change your karma creature in your profile settings, under customize profile. ;-)
  • Affan thinks
    that dog looks delicious!
  • planetnelson feels
    ambivalent about the logo; kinda creepy. :'-(
  • skoops likes
    the logo :-))
  • hacool feels
    it wouldn't be so bad if it were clearly pork rather than a puppy kebab! (and was glad to have changed hers to somethign else)
  • masto thinks
    their graphic designer is so hip he has difficulty seeing over his pelvis.
  • Arixsin says
    you can change the beheaded dog to a few other logos in your prefs
  • mattido says
    I don't care for the logo either.
  • PSiMac says
    I think you get different heads as you go.
  • Telperion says
    hey, don't diss the plurkimal (s_unsure)
  • Jason thinks
    the Plurk logo isn't friendly :-& :-& :-&
  • schwegler thinks
    that you can change it in the profile editor.
  • margreto is
    Aawww...... Changed the logo, much better now :-D
  • mellowgeorge says
    looks more like a walking ham dog to me, imo
  • SgtSpade has
    changed his logo to the sitting duck. The headless dog was too disturbing :-D
  • SmoochyTX says
    I changed mine! LOL
  • SgtSpade will
    not inquire about it
  • Rana likes
    the little flying thing, so is using that.
  • gastaoss will
    change mine too... :-)
  • crystalclear asks
    dont you need karma to change in preferences?
  • gastaoss says
    you have some options... without karma...
  • markschulz says
    its hard enough to succeed with a new service, the logo won't help
  • daigo says
    I agree. I thought the logo is offensive!
  • daigo says
    I agree. I thought the logo is offensive!
  • jfull15 says
    yeah i dont like the logo, but i like the style of the site. it's original
  • kacy says
    You can change the logo. You have four or five options if your karma is less than 10.
  • jfull15 says
    my logo is like the pig thing now. but its bad PR to have your default logo a beheaded dog.
  • kacy says
    Well, the name "plurk" isn't the most pleasant either. ;-)
  • jfull15 says
    hahaha. yeah def. i wonder if leo came back tomorrow morning how many "unread" things he'd have. that would be scary.
  • kacy says
    Thank goodness you press mark all as read
  • jfull15 says
    hahahaa plurk will kill you if you dont reply and read them all yourself. remember your life is on the line!
  • kacy says
    I'm having a similar problem with my RSS feeds. I just want to read them all, and now my free time is slowly going away!
  • jfull15 says
    lol. i reserve sunday as my GTD day - clean up email & rss feed inbox
  • kacy says
    jfull15 Dang, I wish I could do that. I'm a student, so my schedule changes a lot. I was lucky enough that I finished all my work earlier.
  • jfull15 says
    kacy it helps to have a really great family. going to LA & SF for a week. even heading down to cupertino :-) not attending WWDC, but
  • jfull15 says
    ill be in SF
  • blackfeathers
    speaking of rss, you guys know that if you put .xml at the end of your username, that's your feed? k thx bai! :-)
  • kacy says
    Freakin' awesome. Thanks!
  • kacy says
    Oops, not really an accurate feed. It says that I am saying what some of my other friends are saying. Hopefully they'll fix this.
  • jfull15 says
    is plurk in beta?
  • blackfeathers
    plurk is in headless candidate. j/k :-D
  • Schwarz says
    any web 2.0 service is always in beta ;-)
  • jfull15 says
    hahhahaha. like insurance.
  • blackfeathers
    guesses pple don't get that mutant creatures on plurk represent the future. mutants & toxic evolution is the inevit wave of the future. :-D
  • timelady says
    this is about the evil, suck us in until we lose our heads of new socnet sites :-))
  • jackcollins says
    That *IS* strange. Maybe we should look up the origin of the name Plurk now.
  • kacy says
    They have multiple suggestions for the name plurk
  • Bwana
    It looks like a beheaded dogbert.
  • p00bahr says
    Doesn't bother me really, reminds of a cartoon that used to be with those four little monsters running around
  • marty0518 likes
    the one with his head. I'm using that version for my profile page. :-)
  • nightsky wishes
    plurkers could create their own logos.
  • MikeLewis says
    I switched mine to the sitting confused....monster thing..
  • marlenunez thinks
    it's awful and also, that it will generate buzz for Plurk, which they are so much in need at this point.
  • dane says
    First thing I'm going to do: work out how to change the logo.
  • Dasme says
    It's interesting if nothing else :-) Much better than looking at birds lifting a whale...
  • AriX
    Agreed, dasme
  • sandielaw likes
    that you can change the beheaded dog...plus, you can earn cooler ones with more karma. Wheee!
  • carlie says
    That plurkin' logo stinks. (Works great as a swear word.)
  • spldrttngrl says
    Was thinking the same thing myself???
  • danlondon says
    switch it to the bonked out cat logo in your settings!
  • LindaEskin thinks
    it's a newbie detector. If you still have the dog-ham you must be new. (Or they tried to go for a dog-cow thing, and missed.)
  • davidblock says
    Listen... I appreciate letting everyone know I'm new, but how about a seedling, or a cute puppy, rather than a flying cycloptic thingy?
  • scim says
    it kinda fits the crazy style of this site/app though
  • davidblock says
    Speak for yourself. :-D
  • blackfeathers says
    davidblock, if you think about it, there's alwys those cute puppies etc. evrywhere. there needs to be a place for cycloptic thingys too :-)
  • davidblock says
    true 'nuf... but, I'm rather particular about my iconography. Can't be having symbolism that identifies me incorrectly. I kid, I kid.
  • LindaEskin says
    I kinda like the pensive little ducky-thing.
  • frog says
    I love that, what's sticking out of the dog body is a dog bone. Perfect. But what does it have to do with Plurk? Its one of lifes mysteries
  • ChangeForge... says
    Hah, I was commenting that it seems like this is a wierd mix of monkeybone/edward scissorhands / dr. seuss.
  • daamsie says
    For me, I don't mind id, but i've changed mine to a flying squiggle.
  • JAG says
    I need more karma to change anything. Go figure they are having trouble with the karma due to spike in activity.
  • realkosmar
    you can change that in your prefs
  • JAG says
    right but only a few choices ATM.
  • amix
    we are currently optimizing the algorithm behind karma calculation. it is expected to be updated again in the next couple of hours
  • JAG says
    amix awesome
  • haruszpapa hates
    it too. wish it could be removed from the timeline background. it's annoying.
  • Scruffy Bob says
    I changed mine to a headed dog thing. Much more pleasant.
  • Donklephant.com likes
    his floating eye, but wishes he could place the bling anywhere.
  • laurenette feels
    that it is a meaningless and ugly logo
  • kingkool68
    I actually like it. It's different than the glossy, shiny web 2.0 logo you see everywhere. Besides look how much people are talking about it
  • DarthGuru
    __**i was hungry sorry**__ *Burp* excuse plz
  • RoyalHumpy
    It's like a dog that ate a lit M80. All it needs is a little smoke.
  • RoyalHumpy
    Ditto, I also have Birdclops
  • PolarBear thinks
    of it as a ham with legs, it is less disturbing and more delicious that way. ;-)
  • Anome says
    The headless dog logo reminds me of a Mambo T-shirt. Or possibly Reg and Pete's Dog Trumpet.
  • RoyalHumpy
    Double concur. Instead of opting out of threads you should be able to "follow" certain threads
  • justinzero thinks
    the headless dog is the best part of plurk so far.
  • Lasha says
    It makes it memorable. It's subliminnal!
  • mdestis says
    I changed mine quickly. It is a little disturbing to me.
  • Lasha says
    I changed mine too, but because I didn't prefer it.
  •  swemoney likes
    the beheaded dog. Think's it looks neat. :-P
  • hotmilkgt thinks
    that dog is from china.. someone ate the head.. :-(
  • clith loves
    the headless dog, and the whole Plurk design sensibility in this area.
  • tcooper185 thinks
    the bone-headed dog will keep him from using Plurk at work, since he's getting strange looks over the cubicle wall.
  • kaydub says
    Do check out editing your profile. More "mascot's" to choose from, more choices with more Karma, although the dog is one of my favorites.
  • geekomancer says
    ... I thought it was a headless hippo...
  • theproductguy asks
    how do you know it is a dog?
  • nectro says
    OMG! I just noticed that...what does that have to do with Plurk?

    filezilla. oops wrong plurk. mute button ftw :-P
  • Ric says
    it's sickening! :-& (s_sick) (s_angry)
  • Bwana
    omg mute so hard
  • // e thinks
    that's what makes plurk cool!
  • varunpitale says
    definitely a pig.. unless the plurk people say otherwise
  • Espen
    darthweef Definitely. This post has been bugging me for a couple days now.
  • dirt thinks
    it's a dog.... 'on a stick"
  • nthused says
    Yep. First thing I changed. Creepy.
  • geekomancer thinks
    dirt is arguing with himself :-)
  • Glitch620 says
    change it on your profile edit page... ;-)
  • fozzyfatboyslim says
    is cause your karma ran over my dogma and knocked his head clean off.
  • BluePhoenix thinks
    his vegetarian friends might not join if they see the beheaded dog...
  • A Bunnyfear says
    you know you find your mind by plurking or um something like that...
  • Djinn1973 says
    It is a bit... Whats the word? Creepy :-&
  • Beonarri says
    Just change it. There are others, like this Floatiball thingie.
  • theproductguy says
    seems friendly enough to me... can't fault the dog for being born that way...we should all be nice to the headless dog..embrace dog (g_lol)
  • barron has
    one of the 50-karma characters, but only has 35 karma. How did that happen?
  • nicatronTg thinks
    Plurk means to 'Puke' because of seeing a head less dog all the time :-&
  • TJCS63 says
    Love the logo...
  • cowlady says
    That plus the name is keeping the service from kicking Twi**er's butt, IMHO.
  • Just Sarah W.
    Testify, Leo! It"s morbid, to say the least. :-(
  • Nethead says
    it' slike a bearded lady?
  • Feld wishes
    it would go away, doesn't want to see it anymore. (s_angry) :-D
  • TheDudeDean says
    Like the multi-eyed fish is better...
  • Nethead
