music and tv entrepreneur , visionary and friend , claude carrere , passed away april 9 , 2014 .
in 1978 , prompted by the uk success of carrere artist la belle époque’s single , ‘black is black’ , which was released through emi , claude carrere decided to set up carrere uk and appointed fred cannon as managing director . his first signing , and carrere’s first uk release , was ‘substitute’ from south african girl group clout , which reached number 2 in the uk singles chart . with fred cannon at the helm , carrere uk would go on to enjoy hit after hit from artists that included dollar , rose tattoo and saxon . in 1985 , carrere uk released ‘move closer’ by us artist phyllis nelson . it went to the top of the charts and became carrere’s biggest selling single of all time in the uk .
the album was already out in europe on the french label carrere records as breakin’ the chains . however , this 1981 version contains some different mixes and alternate song titles from the later us edition .

there were no riverside records issued between 1972 to the early 1980’s . in the 1980’s riverside records were released by fantasy records as part of the original jazz classics ( ojc ) series . these records had the graphics of the first riverside label but white and gray rather than the white and blue used originally . at the bottom of this label was“fantasy , inc . , berkeley , california” .
creative and dreams music network , llc and fred cannon are proud to honor the achievements of french legendary record and tv company founder , producer and songwriter claude carrere .
in 1988 , carrere uk closed its doors , and in 1990 , the company was acquired by warner music group . carrere has the distinction of being the only french label to have attained multiple worldwide successes , including a number one in the us with the song , ‘friends and lovers’ , performed by gloria loring and carl anderson .

re - branded as rage , the band signed to enterprising independent label carrere records ( home of saxon , rose tattoo and dokken ) and began their fight back by releasing the album ' out of control ' . surprisingly , it also became an entree into the emerging nwobm movement , a scene that embraced rage as not only defenders of the faith but also as an exciting new prospect that would undoubtedly reach new heights in the future .

don ' t know the answer for sure but all the carrere singles i bought in the uk from the late 70 ' s to late 80 ' s that didn ' t have picture sleeves came in plain white paper sleeves . except for 1 that had a wea company sleeve .
interesting account on riverside in its various ramifications . how is the french black mono sound wise ? who has got a copy ? michel out there ? what is the year of issue of these french black monos ? and who produced them interdisc or phonogram or somebody else ( carrere ) ?
music industry credits : while an executive with emi records , he worked with artists including john lennon , ringo starr , george harrison , paul mccartney , the rolling stones , pink floyd , kate bush , queen , stevie wonder , jim capaldi , elton john , lionel richie , the sex pistols , romina power and al bano carrisi , suzi quatro , deep purple and michael jackson . as managing director of carrere records italy and uk , he worked with robert “mutt” lange , trevor horn , hans zimmer , clout , dollar , saxon , rage , vibrators , ottawan , demon , the church , phyllis nelson , the monks , ryan paris , stingray , debbie bonham and eros ramazzotti .
in the mid - 1970s , nashville’s major record labels began dropping country music’s most legendary performers from their rosters . frustrated in particular by decca records’ release of ernest tubb , pete and rose decided to record some of tubb’s new songs in the hopes of regenerating interest in this legend’s music by a major label . when that didn’t happen , pete and rose formed first generation records for ernest tubb and other grand ole opry and traditional country artists they had been so proud to be associated with through the years . they would eventually record more than 350 masters with legendary country artists . these icons still have product available through first generation records .
grauer died , following a sudden heart attack , in december 1963 , and the company went bankrupt not long after . the catalogue was leased by abc records , which reissued some of it , but virtually all riverside masters were acquired by fantasy records in 1972 who proceeded to flood the market with bland reissues , which often do not do the music justice , and so ensured the continued desirability of original pre - 1972 riverside pressings .

don ' t know about the musidisc editions ( from the 60s ? ) . sometimes though ( and not often ) the carrere ' s ( from the mid to late 70s ) can throw a total wobbly and sound fantastic . i have a clarke / boland big band french mps lp that comes in that category .

the british inland revenue served connolly and the other members of the sweet with a multi - million pound tax assessment for the income earned off their hit records . connolly sold his house to pay his share of the tax bill .
during 1990 connolly reunited with the original sweet line - up , for the promotion of a music video documentary in london at tower records and again there were rumours of a full band reunion which , ultimately , came to naught .
8 . saxon / power & the glory ( carrere 1983 ) up to this point , let’s face it : saxon occasionally stumbled upon an anthem , but for the most part , the group luckily was allowed a handicap or a few paces’ head start , sorta like the way we deal with kiss or the rolling stones . then a shocking transformation takes place , and saxon gets beside itself with manic metal . drummer nigel glockler has a lot to do with it ( traps to cannons ) , as does producer jeff glixman , who unwittingly takes a page from the ebony records heavy - metal handbook .
this box set was bought brand new in 1978 and only had outer plastic removed , records have not been played . white album has four photos and poster that has not been unfolded . rare piece of beatles music history all in one box set .
ahh . . . i ' m talking about musidisc editions ( earlier ? ) , the few carrere lps ( mostly ojc copies ) i have are very variable . lush life is very good and meets the esquire version head on , where as art peppers modern jazz classics sounds like mud - very poor indeed compared to a vogue mono of the same session .

a question i have is : in the early to mid - eighties did carrere have a standard company sleeve for its 45 releases , and what did it look like ? every release i am seeing so far that doesn ' t come with its own picture sleeve is in a plain white sleeve ( or is matched up with what is obviously the wrong sleeve ) . if you know the answer , please post an image of the correct sleeve . thanks .
for rage , this scene provided them with the perfect opportunity to not only update their sound but to also wipe the slate clean . signed to the fast rising independent label carrere , they issued two well received albums before settling in to record their third record , the slightly more refined ' run for the night ' , a record that would be the band ' s bid to hitch their wagon to the more melodic , arguably aor , side of rock genre .

in 1955 the prestige records contract of thelonious monk was bought out and monk was signed by riverside , where he remained for the next five years . during the next few years , cannonball adderley , bill evans , charlie byrd , johnnygriffin and wes montgomery made substantial contributions to riverside’s catalog , establishing it as a major jazz label .
the black french riverside cover say “distributed in europe by interdisk” and the matrix looks like it could be decca - related ( decca pressed british riverside up until end of the fifties / very early sixties after which pressing shifted to philips . ) but it lacks the usual decca master version and engineer codes . no idea who pressed it or exactly when , but it is not deep groove , and the cover is sixties laminated made in france ( paris printer ) certainly before seventies and definitely not carrere .
the fifth label was used on the rs - 3000 series . it was brown and black with a black and white logo . printing was white . a large “r” above the center hole with “riverside” below it . at the bottom of the label was “distribted by abc records , inc . , new york , n . y . 10019 – made in u . s . a . ”
23 . tygers of pan tang / wild cat mca 1980 ) the only tygers album featuring the katz klaw vocal grit of future neat records boss jess cox , “wild cat” was an early biker - metal classic exuding all the boisterous charm one would expect from a bunch of young kids excitedly helping build a scene . an appealing cross between the smart riffs of maiden and the roughshod delivery of tank .
10 . witchfinder general / friends of hell ( heavy metal 1983 ) no less than the band that invented doom metal , witchfinder general crunched its way somberly through bleak songs of loss , impossibly turgid , charmingly loose and guileless . a mere two records , witchfinder general nonetheless gave the nwobhm its leaden anchor , staking claim , proposing that metal , logically , was supposed to weigh down body and soul .
18 . motorhead / another perfect day ( bronze 1983 ) yes , i know , motorhead pioneered this stuff through five hugely influential previous records ( ok , maybe two of them are vastly lauded ) , but true usefulness in the life of this writer doesn’t happen until brian “robbo” robertson arrives and cleans up the sound a bit . in tandem , lemmy writes some of his most artful words of wisdom .
liverpool based outfit rage were been born out of the ashes of well - respected 70s hard rock unit nutz , a group who had released four well received albums for a & m records . with relations cooling between the label , the band and their management , it was decided , out of sheer frustration and political uncertainty , to cut off those associations and move on to pastures new , albeit under a different name .
rock n ' roll aint dead , it ' s just waking up . in a watered down glass of phony indie pop and cookie cutter rock , the beat seekers bring you a shot of genuine american rock n ' roll . the band is anchored by prolific lead singer , guitarist , and songwriter keith fertwagner . with four records released since the bands inception , these guys are no strangers to hard work and good music .
the frenzy and raw energy of the early days were captured by their debut single “i’m alive on the bands own labritain label and sold well enough to become a minor hit . next through their association with united artists records the second and third singles , “nasty nasty” and the now classic “emergency” were released both scaling the lower reaches of the charts and confirming 999 to be one of the major forces in the british new wave movement .
progressing through two independent albums and gaining a solid following , they eventually signed a major deal with industry heavyweights atlantic records and cut this self titled album in san francisco . issued in 1990 , it is a record of extreme maturity , harnessing their power - metal onslaught with precision and force . featuring killer tracks such as ' don ' t wait for me ' , ship of fools ' and the title track itself , the album is still impresses to this day .
rose managed the businesses , which included five publishing companies , a recording studio , a record label and the administration service , while pete produced artists for major label production deals and first generation records while also playing steel guitar on major artists’ recording sessions . rose also made the time to be active in the community ; serving on boards with the easter seals , american lung association , nashville entertainment association , and committees involved in the music row beautification with the mayor’s office .
“i am excited and truly honored to welcome sir cannon and miss rose to the airplay direct family . they are both amazing people and accomplished music industry professionals . together they are the gifted executive team that owns and operates creative & dreams music network , and first generation records” , said lynda weingartz , ceo – airplay direct . “airplay direct’s collective evolution manages the ‘apd artist ambassador’ program , and will work closely with rose and fred on airplay direct initiatives to help educate , develop and mentor the global apd membership . ”

ten years ago i used to pass the ojcs up when buying records with the idea that i would find earlier pressings , possibly first pressings in the racks . i ' ve never been one to collect multiple copies of an album , so instead of buying the first copy i saw , i . e . an ojc sometimes , i would hold off until an earlier pressing crossed my path . with the rising cost of those originals and their scarcity , i am looking at ojcs from a different perspective . for the most part , i ' m finding used copies in near mint condition for $ 6 . 00 to $ 10 . 00 . the sound of these lps is quite acceptable and if i really want the title on vinyl instead of cd , i ' m no longer hesitating on purchasing these editions .

i ' ve been waiting for a keenly priced & decent re of this masterpiece & this fits the bill . its housed in a mid weight gatefold sleeve & the disc is quite thick , not virgin vinyl it seems but the sound ( after a clean ) , is excellent with no loss of low , mid or top register . a steal for a tenner .
i heard instruments that didn ' t know it existed . forget about
cd
version .
i really don ' t understand what do you ' re waiting for to buy this masterpiece . you will feel yourself inside of their recording session ! they kept totally analog in the masterization . you could touch the bass with your hand ! they kept the spaciousness and breath between each instrument . you will experience a truly alive drum , as you never heard . if you ' re a musician will know what i am talking about the sounds are totally dry . no compression . truly analogue . you can hear the dancing of the
fender
rhodes keyboard between the channels . it was really amazing ! much better than i expected i felt like having a masterization from japan or from germany , not from brazil . linha do horizonte is the most beautiful brazilian song of all time .
quite possibly the greatest thing to be printed on vinyl . . . maybe not . . . but this album goes deep . classic all the way .
you are fully responsible of your bid and i cannot be held responsible of any misunderstanding .
first record , any destination = $ 15 . any more record is $ 3 extra .
i cannot be held responsible if the parcel is damaged or lost . if you want to choose for a registered mail , please ask and i will advise on extra costs .

loud and f * * k ! ng clear
displays a wide array of influences and subject matter that is not easy to define , but definitely easy to swallow . the songs go from guns n ' roses style riffing to punk rock anthems with a dash of twang and 70 ' s rock , while still maintaining a modern edge and pop sensibility . let ' s just say if music were soup , this batch wouldn ' t lack ingredients , and it would taste pretty fucking good .
throughout the beat seekers existence hardships , setbacks , and dumb luck have only made the fire burn hotter for keith , and there is a flat out refusal to go away quietly . while there ' s been no shortage of adversity , there has also been no shortage of the need to overcome it . some people make music because they want to , but some people do it because they have no other choice . in a world where everything is shiny and plastic , the beat seekers offer a healthy dose of something heartfelt and real . the beatles wanted to hold your hand . the stones wanted to burn down your town . the beat seekers want to hold your hand while burning down your town , taking over the airwaves , and starting a revolution . we ' re all in this shit together , let ' s make it count .
keith ' s songs have been featured in television shows such as 90210 , one tree hill , shameless , and big love to name a few , as well as movie trailers , video games , and the movie
warrior
. he has also shared the stage with social distortion , joan jett , rancid , john doe , sum 41 , afi , and many more . with his crew of talented cutups , the beat seekers are ready to blaze a new path full of familiar rock and roll nuances .

early video footage of dokken performing in bremen , germany in 1982 was surfaced . the video footage of the entire gig has actually been available as a bootleg for many years prior .
“a year before heavy metal band dokken released their debut studio album breaking the chains is the us , the band took to the stage for german tv show beat club to perform some of the tracks from the record , including ; “paris is burning” , “young girls” , “nightrider” , “breaking the chains” and “seven thunders” .
“paris is burning” is called “paris” and is actually a studio version as opposed to the december 1982 live recording . the album also contained a song called “we’re illegal” , which became “live to rock” . ”
ex - dokken guitarist juan croucier who played at the beat club show in question stated the following on his facebook account about the video footage : “ah yes ! the good old days ! originally , dokken was a three - piece band with don , a drummer named greg pecka and i . after our first tour of germany , don and i brought george and mick into the band and ( without getting into too much detail ) the rest became history ! i have a lot of good memories from this tour . we had some really funny things happen during these times… it still puts a smile on my face to this day . ”

999 celebrated their 38th anniversary on 5th december 2014 . the reason for their longevity is not airplay , massive publicity , hype or even a major recording deal but word of mouth and that “word of mouth” now extends to nearly every country on earth .
the first album titled simply “999” was released and was greeted with impressive sales and critical acclaim . extensive touring took them throughout britain and europe where they now encountered full houses .
the second album “separates” was released and immediately the single “homicide” leapt straight into the uk top forty without any radio airplay and was banned by the bbc and most radio stations .
early 1979 saw the band embarking on their first u . s . tour , which was an achievement in itself , as they were still without a record deal in america at the time . response to the band was ecstatic , all the venues being filled and import albums being sold out in a rush of enthusiasm . the band were immediately booked for a return trip .
since leaving united artists 999 have recorded another eleven albums . jon watson was replaced in 1986 on bass by danny palmer and subsequently by arturo bassick in 1991 .
daddy wonk used to be in a band called the flying medallions back in the early 1990’s when the punk scene was well underground . they kinda crossed over into the mainstream and the music press would get themselves into a right tiz over the chaos they caused .
the chaos caught up in late 95 when the band suffered a fatal tour bus crash in france . bassist dougie didn’t make it and mc mr stephen suffered critical injuries ( he made a full recovery ) .
they released the album “we love everybody and everything’s great” in 1994 . ( now available on itunes ) .
about 5 years ago , myself and original wonk axe man gavin “mad dog” kinch were laying a crazy paving driveway .
their 5th album is a limited edition vinyl ; feel the wonkness , originally released as 100 green , and 200 black copies , with a reprint in 300 white vinyls .

metal’s first discernible movement , our first codified army of punters , air guitarists , headbangers , denim and leather… such is the glory of the new wave of british heavy metal , an explosion of heavy metal bands and lps and indie 45s emerging from all over the u . k . from roughly 1980 to 1983 . here’s a batch of the best , gamely ranked , a tight 25 metal masterpieces to match the tightness of the time frame from whence they sprang . up the irons !
1 . angel witch / angel witch ( bronze 1980 ) no record signified doom and gloom and egregious , resolute metal - forging like this evil debut from kevin heybourne and his small band of witch music - makers . an infernal album cover forged in the depths of hell provides the perfect visual accompaniment to the band’s skillful sabbatherian churn , not all of it slow , some of it as erudite as priest circa ’76 through ’78 .
2 . savage / loose ‘n lethal ( ebony 1983 ) lathered up with buzzed electricity , “loose ’n lethal” is a canny concoction of songs that sit between under - written and aptly written , but then delivered with such alcoholic power that the unsuspecting punter is bowled over and headbanging hard before he knows what hit him in the pit . this energy is cogently captured upon the cover art ( r . i . p . garry sharpe - young ) . oh , yeah , and there’s never been a better riff written than “cry wolf . ”
3 . iron maiden / iron maiden ( harvest 1980 ) iron maiden’s frantic debut was a dark , loose - bolted affair dripping in vibe , its note - dense attack evoking priest at their most sincerely pioneering but roughed up by a punk ethic . it sounds like metal aching to be made , white - knuckled as the guys resign themselves to a life of sleeping in lorries and celebrating identity with pub - doomed metal minions . given that things turned out sunnier is neither here nor there .
4 . quartz / stand up and fight ( mca 1980 ) a mere three studio albums and all vastly different from each other , quartz was visually stuck in the ’70s and thus probably doomed to obscurity , despite the blinding professionalism of this high - fidelity record of a proposed stadium metal still 100 percent forged in fire .
5 . more / blood & thunder ( atlantic 1982 ) with a new singer in mick stratton for this band’s second and last album , all of a sudden we’ve got a flash band with def leppard - and whitesnake - like potential , yet with a sound that is all molten riffs , zeppelin swagger and howling ac / dc - proud power . maiden should have been a hard sell compared with the direct socket - injecting stratton and guitarist kenny cox , who cook up on tracks like “traitors gate” and “rock and roll . ”
6 . iron maiden / killers ( harvest 1981 ) totally different record from the charming , gritty debut , “killers” bullied maiden’s quickly assembling legions to keep up with the band’s virulent strain of proto - thrash riffing and prog - metal quick changes . production was much improved , as well , and a discernible canniness with respect to pacing , variety and sequencing pointed the way toward inevitable fame and fortune .
7 . raven / all for one ( neat 1983 ) frustrating band , raven ( both before this record and exasperatingly long after ) being irritatingly thin and yelpy . but forsooth , “wiped out” is a speed metal classic , and then its follow - up , “all for one , ” found the band anchoring its power - trio mania in the stomping production values of michael wagener . killer grooves and money riffs everywhere , “all for one” loomed large enough to garner the band a major - label deal , which it famously fumbled with bad material and even worse image choices .
9 . gillan / glory road ( virgin 1980 ) oh , sure , i could reverently place all six gillan albums within my top 25 nwobhm ( possibly my favorite band of all time ) , but i will act responsibly , ’cos , in fact , the looped chemistry that is ian gillan’s frantic nwobhm incubator is admittedly an acquired taste . so i’ll propose one , the third , “glory road , ” being a hugely inspired and energetic spot of purple punk endlessly dimensional and human .
11 . grim reaper / see you in hell ( ebony 1983 ) the allure of “see you in hell” is that it is very much evil metal seducing through hook and melody , much of the reach inside the soul occurring through the emotive vocal holler of one steve grimmett . if a band can sound underground , barroom and anthemic all at once , this magical collective is it , even if the exotic , mysterious atmosphere of “see you in hell” was never to be repeated .
12 . diamond head / lightning to the nations ( happy face 1980 ) the third great hope from the nwobhm free - for - all , diamond head never lived up to the promise of tatler’s dependable , connective , emotive riffs and sean harris’ rock - star good looks and better pipes . strange franchise though . i mean , there is so much wrong — almost everything wrong — with this record , and even more so “borrowed time , ” yet the listener feels he’s in the presence of greatness .
13 . fastway / fastway ( cbs 1983 ) doesn’t quite feel like a nwobhm album , but hey , fast eddie is from motorhead and dave king is barely into his 20s , irish and unknown . fastway sounds american , though , which nonetheless is a nice break from the dodgy proto - speed metal and fantasy themes somewhat branding the genre and causing its appeal to be limited .
14 . def leppard / high ‘n’ dry ( vertigo 1981 ) def leppard squarely fit the nwobhm bill through its singles as well as their aggressive “on through the night” debut . the sound begins to shift with “high ’n’ dry , ” which is nonetheless considered by many to be the band’s best album , given its handshake between young , roustabout metal and a certain ac / dc - ish stadium - rock swagger , an atmosphere of spaces and pregnant pauses masterminded by producer mutt lange .
15 . tank / the power of the hunter ( kamaflage 1982 ) the metal armies have always considered tank the baby motorhead , but i’d add that tank’s also a smarter , more entertaining , more event - minded version of motorhead . plus , algy was in the damned , a fist held high around these parts . and , yes , it’s a certain modest , miniature , diy - punk vibe that is the charm of this plucky trio . ’eads down , ’meet you at the end .
17 . iron maiden / the number of the beast ( emi 1982 ) third record for maiden of four commendably very different from each other , “the number of the beast” is a punkier , faster , more urgent album that the considered “killers , ” more like the debut but with an immense upshot in songwriting ideas . still think there are three bad songs on it , which would be blasphemy to metal blade founder brian slagel , who has consistently called this the greatest record of all time .
19 . tygers of pan tang / crazy nights ( mca 1981 ) second record with the operatic and rock godly jon deverill at the mic finds the band greatly improving on the thin production of “spellbound , ” cranking it into the red . the band’s songs remain squared - off and hooky , based on meat - and - potatoes power chords , but the result is an earthy , pleasing rock headbang not unlike that of simplistic whitesnake circa 1981 - 84 .

if you are looking for a micro blogging service that allows for longer posting ( twitter only has 140 text character limit ) , then plurk would be the next best service there is . it has features unique to itself and is also widely used all over the world . another great reason to make use of plurk is when you are looking to reach other markets outside of the u . s . a . as many of plurk’s members live abroad .

most likely it would be that our system has detected many of your plurk contained content or links that have been reported as spam by other plurk users . if you haven ' t post these plurks , it could be either your plurk account has been stolen , or you ' ve ever signed up for 3rd party services or web sites that requested your plurk credentials and are using it to post bad content . that is not only violating our terms of service but also leaking out your own privacy and personal information and might potentially spammed your friends and fans . to fix it , please follow these steps : 1 . change your password right away . 2 . unfollow unnecessary services or plurk users , i . e . bots . 3 . check if your personal information has been modified . more specially , please check if spammers have replaced your email address .

plurk administrators reserve the right to modify or terminate the service , and to refuse the service to anyone , for any reason , with or without notice , at any time .
though plurk is popular in indonesia , some countries such as korea are not familiar with this social network . this could be due to the fact that it is fairly new .
that takes care of plurk’s first goal in going public with the allegations : shutting down msn juku . now , the company wants an open a dialog between the two companies .
which are color - coded words that are commonly used by plurk members to start their posts . they make it easy for users to identify different types of posts on the fly .
finally , on monday , plurk took a stance . microsoft , the company alleged in a blog post , brazenly plagiarized its popular microblogging service  from the design to the codebase .
“but i am not giving up on north america . not yet , ” he says , though it is hard to really see how plurk could become mainstream in the us and europe .
user must agree to indemnify , defend and hold plurk harmless from and against any and all claims , damages , losses and expenses ( including but not limited to reasonable legal fees ) relating to any acts by user , including but not limited to any content submitted by user , in connection with using plurk , resulting in claims against us by other users or third parties .
plurk is unique because while it has a social aspect , it also has an educational value . you can interact with others and leave comments for others to read and respond back to .
video : plurk is a site which is mostly like twitter but employs a much different view of status updates . these updates appear in a horizontal river interface which i have never seen before . plurk does have an im / jabber bot , mobile support , and a nifty karma system . this karma system rewards you for using the website and also inviting your friends to join .
plurk provides an easy way for users to chronicle and share the things they do , the way they feel , and all the other things in between that make up their lives , with the people close to them . plurk brings people together in a public forum of expression which allows them to easily keep in touch with friends near and far while making new ones along the way .
pteryx : to be fair , plurk doesn ' t really have control over those other apps update schedules . but hopefully the creators of those apps get on the ball with it at some point .
twitter , like plurk , is a social network . the updates posted on twitter are called tweets . they are displayed on the user ' s profile page and are sent out to other users .
needless to say we were absolutely shocked and outraged when we first saw with our own eyes the cosmetic similarities microsoft ' s new offering had with plurk . from the filter tabs , emoticons , qualifier / verb placement , karma scoring system , media support , new user walkthroughs to pretty much everything else that gives plurk its trademark appeal , microsoft china ' s offering ripped off our service .
a slick private messaging system similar to facebook ; also when you hover over a plurk , you ' ll see a downward triangle beside the persons picture / name , which gives you a private messaging option .
plurk allows you to easily leave short / concise comments on the main page . after signing in , anyone can view them . this means even people who aren ' t your friend could answer your questions !
with plurk , users only have to enter a sentence or two with 210 text characters maximum . it’s easier coming up with posts to write since there’s no need to elaborate , unlike when posting typical blogs .
also , if you have any questions or comments about plurk or if you would like to tell us about your profile or experiences there you are encouraged to post your thoughts right below in the comments section .
plurk leaders , mainly working out of taiwan , have not been able to contact chinese authorities to found out why it was banned . they suspect “latent animosity” between taiwan and china has contributed , thompson said .
there are several ways to do that . you can invite or find your friends on plurk by using your email address or facebook account . you can also try to search for them using their name or email address .
at plurk , you can share your most beautiful still and motion shots with the people who follow or are friends with you . media files may be uploaded through youtube , webcam , and links directly from your computer .
wow , 360 characters is so much , i can ' t wait to use it ! can you imagine , a seventy percent increase , we can say so much before we have to jump to the next line or use a plurk paste ! we could even write our own little short story in a single plurk box , with multiple characters and a plot and maybe a table of contents . so this is what 360 characters look like .
i still remember my username and password despite having not visited plurk since october 2009 ; but what is immediately visible to me is the fact that users can now log in using a facebook account . a sign of the times , indeed . in a bid to get a clearer understanding of how plurk has progressed in recent times , we caught up with ceo alvin woon to talk about the deal , the move and where the service is headed .
by achieving higher levels of success in different categories , plurk awards different badges that can then be displayed on your profile . also , new and different emoticons also become available for inclusion in posts as higher achievements are realized .
plurk is popular in a number of east and southeast asian countries  especially in taiwan , where its web traffic rivals facebook and yahoo , thompson said . however , the microblogging service has been blocked in china since april .
only two things are really clear right now . first , microsoft is standing around with their pants around their ankles looking pretty ridiculous right now . and second , this is the best thing to happen to plurk , ever .
the user “super _ fans” left messages on hau’s plurk page at about 11am on friday , calling on “people with lofty ideas” to kill ma , chinese president hu jintao ( 胡錦濤 ) and chinese premier wen jiabao ( 溫家寶 ) .
i had no problems with the app prior to the most recent update , which will randomly crash the app . i’ll just be looking at my timeline or trying to open / read a plurk and it crashes . please fix !
share what you have recently been up to , your thoughts on current events , or post a shoutout to your friends and followers ! at plurk , the only thing that will limit you is the 210 text character maximum restriction .
it’s all about community and identity . i think this space is big enough for everyone to co - exist as long as you can find your own identity . plurk , for many is , how should i put it…quirky . it comes with a peculiar mix of dark virtual characters , offensive emoticons and weird user interface ( not to mention users with attitude ) . most people in taiwan use facebook . they also use plurk . we don’t have to be mutually exclusive .
plurk allows its users to post anything they like . “i’m eating dinner now” , “cleaning my house” , “going to school” and such similar updates are very common . of course , there are also people who publish insights and critical opinions .
first , because it finally brings msn china a reputable microblogging service . last year , a serious controversy arose when msn china launched a microblog called juku , which was found to have been mostly plagiarized from a canadian startup called plurk .
a plurk is a small message or link , less than 140 characters , that you can broadcast to the whole world , your buddies or just yourself over the web , through instant messaging , and through text messaging on your mobile phone .
i think that is a great idea ! at the top of this page is the plurk logo and i think it would be great to put it on every child page at the top . . . ( it ' s two images )
user is solely responsible for any data , screen names , graphics , photos , profiles , audio and video clips , links and any other content ( from here on referred to as content ) that you submit , post and display on plurk .
the underlying code is not open - source , but it’s not entirely protected by intellectual property laws . so , in developing the twitter - like service , plurk took steps to obfuscate its codebase and make it difficult to copy , thompson said .
what’s most interesting to me is that plurk is still experimenting with revenue streams and business models , even after more than half a decade online . woon explains that the service brings in “a bit of money in via google adsense but that’s about it” .
plurk supports total customization of the appearance of your profile and wall . this is accomplished by allowing full access to modify the css file which controls how everything looks . this allows for endless personalization and many member take full advantage of this unique feature .
4 . how did plurk come about ? < br / > envisioned as a communication medium to form a balance between blogs and social networks , and between email messaging and instant messaging . < br / > launched on may 2008 < br / >
freestyle plurking is a way of plurking without qualifiers . we don ' t want to limit your creativity so you can plurk as you please if you choose not to use the color coded qualifiers . these are great for our older or more expressive users .
juku is in beta right now and is likened as much to plurk as twitter . other features of juku include games and users can win prizes from playing the games . the little blue paper airplanes really remind me a lot of the blue twitter bird .
imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery , but blatant theft of code , design , and ui elements is just not cool , especially when the infringing party is the biggest software company in the world ,
plurk said on its company blog .
let ' s clear the air around this ,
plurk said .
while many reputable internet companies have forged solid partnerships with plurk , valuing our innovation and market leadership in asia , microsoft was absolutely not one of them . we were never contacted by any party at ( microsoft ) to collaborate on such a venture nor did we give any prior written or verbal permission to anyone on their side to take our code , take our css , and copy the essence and ethos of our service .
currently plurk has 22 languages that it can be translated into , although it does not translate the actual plurks on people ' s profiles . if someone plurked in english then it will remain in english , but everything else will be in the language selected .
every plurker has his or her own karma value . the higher the karma score , the more applications and features are available for the user . users earn karma by doing things on plurk . it is recalculated every day and can be within these intervals :
plurk is a free social networking and micro - blogging service that allows users to send updates ( otherwise known as plurks ) through short messages or links , which can be up to 210 text characters in length . updates are then shown on the user ' s home page using a timeline which lists all the updates received in chronological order , and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them . users can respond to other users ' updates from their timeline through the urltoken website or plurk app on android and ios

“we are obviously very disappointed , but we assume responsibility for this situation , ” microsoft said in a statement . “we apologize to plurk and we will be reaching out to them directly to explain what happened and the steps we have taken to resolve the situation . ”
microsoft launched msn juku beta on december 1 . however , microsoft has said a third party and not it or its chinese joint venture partner wrote the juku program . and the vendor had acknowledged that a portion of the code they provided was indeed copied from plurk .
then you start plurking , you can post about what you ' re doing , how you feel , and what you are thinking on your timeline that is visible to the world . you can use things such as instant messaging or text messaging through plurk to update your profile .
according to its developers , plurk is an abbreviation for ‘people’ and ‘lurk’ , a blendword of ‘play’ and ‘work’ , an acronym for peace , love , unity , respect , karma , and a verb neologism , much like how google is now being widely used as a verb .
i really like this application because i enjoy being updated on other peoples lives , but this is different from facebook and twitter that i am used to . i like the website layout because it is easy to navigate and read the information . plurk brings people together to stay in touch easily over distance . benefits of plurk are sharing posts with your important people , sharing web images and videos from sites like youtube , and it allows you to update by text messaging or messaging on the computer . it is different from other blog systems , and i like that .
we tracked plurk since january 29 , 2018 . during last 30 days , it has not been down . the average response time is 0 . 228 sec which is good . note that response time may vary depending on how far you are from the urltoken server located in toronto , canada .
after microsoft’s new china microblogging service , msn juku , was launched to beta in november , the taiwanese press jumped on revelations that it looked just like an existing tool from plurk . representatives of the nine - employee startup spent weeks talking to media , combing through code and meeting with attorneys .
as it turned out , they have a lot of merit . on tuesday morning , microsoft admitted that msn juku contains code ripped off from plurk . the software superpower indefinitely suspended access to msn juku , which microsoft said was developed by a third - party vendor that contracted with msn china .
instead of just asking ,
what are you doing ?
as twitter does , plurk gives you a drop - down list of verb options , or what the service calls qualifiers , which consist of your nickname followed by one of the verbs loves , likes , shares , gives , hates , wants , wishes , has , will , asks , was , feels , thinks , says , and is which covers most of what you yearn to communicate . as with other services , you have 140 characters to express your yearningwhich leads me to believe that the site will be adding sms text capability , though i didn ' t get a response about that from the company . alternatively , you can post comments freestyle ( plurk ) , without a preselected verb . another plurk perk lets you enter smileys in your statements , so you can express yourself in ways mere words cannot : - p .
this new twist on microblogging , which puts your updates into a horizontal timeline , has a nicer interface than twitter ' s , is more fun , and handles images and video well . but until plurk gets sms text - entry capability , it won ' t be a real threat to the more established player .
on monday , stated that it is still evaluating its options and yet to state , if any , actions it may take against microsoft . microsoft had taken plurk’s custom developed libraries , css files and client code and just ported them directly over to their service without any attempt to even mask it , according to the report .
bottom line : this new twist on microblogging , which puts your updates into a horizontal timeline , has a nicer interface than twitter ' s , is more fun , and handles images and video well . but until plurk gets sms text - entry capability , it won ' t be a real threat to the more established player .
plurk ' s horizontal timeline shows the date and time along the bottom as well as posts by you and plurkers you ' re following . it also lets you drag the comment area back and forth ( or do the same using your mouse ' s scroll wheel ) to go back and forward in time . clicking on a verb in your timeline will gray out posts that don ' t use it . in displaying posts , plurk shares the same problem as a number of microblogs , including twitter : you ' re likely to see a variety of languages in the public posts , and there ' s no way to filter out languages you don ' t want .
the research seems pretty clear – when teachers talk with other teachers about professional issues , they become better teachers . one way to do that is by connecting with other social studies teachers through social media networks such as plurk , twitter and classroom 2 . 0 . these are wonderful places to ask questions , share expertise and exchange resources .
plurk is simply another social networking service , but one that is more focused on micro blogging . it gives its users the freedom to express themselves using qualifiers , photos , videos and emoticons . apart from this freedom to express , it also gives people the opportunity to stay updated about the lifestyles of other people , be it friends , family or relatives .
if you’re an early user of twitter , or someone who enjoyed social networking when it began to go mainstream around 2008 , then the chances are that you may remember plurk . the canadian startup offered a more visual take on twitter and friendfeed ( another once popular service ) , and today’s its being reborn with a funding round and after it relocated to asia .
each entry ( called a plurk ) takes up only one line and expands when you hover the mouse over it , unless the entry is very short . clicking on a plurk ' s text drops down a comment window for responses . you can limit the display to show strictly your own plurks , yours and your friends ' , or just private plurks . by default , your entries will be visible to the whole world . privacy options let you change this to making what you post visible to just you , a friend , or a clique ( a group of friends you create ) . you ' ll also find an in - between choice , on the privacy settings page , that lets friends and friends of friends view your plurks .

as someone who had used plurk , primarily as a backup to twitter and as an experiment , i was curious to know what kind of folks still frequent the service . “the average user is 16 - 28 . female . cos - player . knitter . second lifer . likes cheesecake , ” woon says . that’s certainly the kind of niche that he mentioned , right there .
used to love love love plurk , now it just seems like a moneygrab . i have to pay to see if someone mentions my name ? honestly ? the desktop site is garbage and used to ding at me and update me consistently , now i have to completely refresh the page to even see updates and i miss them constantly . that’s why i have to depend on the phone app now for updates so i don’t miss them . problem is that i can hardly ever get photos to load . if they do , they take incredibly long . . and it doesn’t matter if i am on wifi or not . seems like such a trivial thing . i honestly wish my friends would move to a better social media platform because plurk is not what it used to be .
your timeline is your home screen and where you ' ll spend all of your time on plurk . it allows you to easily view and scroll from left to right using your mouse or keyboard as plurks are created by you and your friends throughout the day . it gives you a clear view into what everybody is up to recently and lets you stay caught up on what your friends are doing .
so i have figured out the internal hyperlinking . . . it only works if the headers are not in color and are just plain headers , now is the question , should we revert back to the plain blue headers ? i think the red gives ours a nice conformity with plurk ' s colors , but i do not know if the colors will even transfer they create the actual wiki page . . .
discover , connect , and share interesting stuffs with your friends , family , and like - minded folks at plurk ! grant yourself unlimited ways to express yourself like sharing your thoughts , moments , videos , artworks or simply everyday life tidbits , be they bizarre or serious . and we take it seriously at protecting your privacy - - never will you worry about your emotional secrets being read by the annoying colleague around the corner , or the nagging aunt in the neighboring state . highlights of plurk : - custom emoticons : use emoticons created with any types of images to paint thousand words in your messages - - animated or still , cheerful or sorrow ! - anonymous messages : feel gossipy ? post the controversial without revealing your identity ! - private messages : limit who can see and reply each of your messages , and turn them into private discussions !
karma vacation mode provides you a way to freeze your karma when you ' re going on a longer vacation or don ' t have time to plurk . to enable karma vacation mode , simply go to my account , within the account tab , right at the bottom you will see the ' karma vacation mode ' option . * note that a certain amount of karma will be deducted from your current karma as a result to enable this mode .
for those that don’t remember plurk or never used it , the service uses a visual timeline and lets user communicate ’emotion’ and other sentiment with their status updates . users can like , replurk and comment on their friends’ status updates . it ranked users on karma — which designated their level of engagement — its style had made it popular in asia since day one and , to that point , it was once shamelessly ripped off by microsoft in china .
while i can’t honestly say that the changes will have me getting active on purk once again , the service will hope that it can reinvest itself more successfully than friendster , another one - time challenger to the now dominant social media establishment . the southeast asian site that once rivaled facebook has rebranded numerous times in recent years — focuses have included dating and gaming — so at least plurk is sticking to its guns and focusing on engagement and conversation .
plurk is a free social networking and micro - blogging service that allows users to send updates ( otherwise known as plurks ) through short messages or links , which can be up to 140 text characters in length . updates are then shown on the user ' s home page using a timeline which lists all the updates received in chronological order , and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them . users can respond to other users ' updates from their timeline through the urltoken website , by instant messaging , or by text messaging .
