• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:40 gdruckman says it actually already has an API otherwise we couldnt use IM to post msgs
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:41 gdruckman says it may not be as obvious, but it's there
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:41 matthooper thunderror how do you know? have they said anything officially about opening up an API?
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:42 amix of course we'll be having an API, but we can't add everything at once and scale at the same time
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:44 matthooper amix i understand - a lot of social media afficionados would like to know that the API is coming, though..opens up so many possibilities
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:44 matthooper amix congrats on the service so far - totally loving plurk right now!
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:45 the JoshMeister thinks it would be cool if Plurk opens up its API to the public, but I doubt they're ready to do that yet. Right now is mostly a stress-test phase.
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:49 the JoshMeister thanks amix for answering questions! You rock!

  June 04, 2008 at 07:53 tjgillies says see look, plurk is already scaling.... twitter take note

• 
  June 04, 2008 at 09:12 MaartenFM says Plurk has to release their API or people will leave!
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 09:13 ryan says They better. This is great and all. But It needs to be accessible from anywhere. an iPhone adaptation would be lovely.
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 09:14 evan says Ryan_Tir yes, especially if I can flick the timeline .
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 09:14 ryan says you said it.
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 09:27 mahadewa says They have to be really careful with it, not to get the same problem like Twitter.

  June 04, 2008 at 09:39 realkosmar they might have different tasks, now you joined

  June 04, 2008 at 11:34 MikeonTV feels Twhirl would destroy the charm of Plurk
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 11:37 Hawksdomain thinks MikeonTV is right on that call
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 12:19 saint_ethique wishes twhirl would support is verry soon
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 12:59 danlondon says THEY NEED and API
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 13:00 esonline says I will be looking forward to twhirling (or some variation) my way around Plurk. WinMobile support would help too. Thanks amix!
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 13:27 niczak thinks Fortunately for timeline haters the mobile interface is a lot more shall we say.. familiar.. An open API could make or break this system.

  June 04, 2008 at 14:25 martinbogo is finding ways of posting to plurk via the plurkbot + XMPP
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 14:25 martinbogo It's -kind- of like an API
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 14:25 martinbogo but only lets me post plurks, but at least I can read plurks -and- all replies to the plurks
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 14:29 alanataylor But do you really think you'll be able to keep up with Plurk? Seems too overwhelming for me. Too many responses.
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 14:39 nibbler says alanataylor that's partially new toy syndrome
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 15:34 Scoundrel says AFAIU, amix is right, we'll open an API only when/if we'll be sure that it won't kill us like it did with Twitter.
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 15:36 shaf scoundrel good luck, take your time, get it right as it could be your claim to fame.
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 15:39 zjuul scoundrel It killed twitter perhaps, but it also keeps twitter alive.
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 15:39 Scoundrel says I'll try. At this moment scobleizer-like users with tons of followers look more critical for me...
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 15:42 shaf Scoundrel wait till they start using XMPP then you'll start getting 'real' worried
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 15:43 nibbler says scoundrel so... you're blaming scoble...
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 15:47 shaf rofl Oh dear " Scooble broke my Website "

  June 08, 2008 at 17:38 MichaelKing says I sure hope so but for now on the Mac I am using a program called Fluid to make a stand alone Plurk App.

• 
  June 08, 2008 at 18:24 ismail says there is a python script that lets you post to Twitter + plurk@ the same time.

  June 08, 2008 at 18:29 LindaZ would love a plwirl app... miss it
• 
  June 08, 2008 at 18:30 ismail says twhirl can implement posting to plurk without an API, just use the jabber interface muti a bot is using that
• 
  June 08, 2008 at 21:24 chrisdpratt says lol stelabouras ... that's some kind of API... revolutionary
•
