Here's what I've found for the word:
From UrbanDictionary.com:
"Plurking
to chronicle events in an individuals daily life.
i have plurked, idk, like 5 times today?!
i have been plurking all day! "
From zy.ca:
"Definition: Plurk
plurk: Play-work. Plurk is what scientists do. It is the enthusiastic, energetic application of oneself to the task at hand as a child excitedly plays; it is the intense arduous, meticulous work of an artist on their life-long masterpiece; it is joyful work."
Wikipedia:
"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 Plurk.com website, by instant messaging, or by text messaging.
The etymology of the name was explained by the developers as such:
* abbreviation of 'people' and 'lurk'
* portmanteau of 'play' and 'work'
* acronym of peace, love, unity, respect, and karma
* verb neologism, similar to how Google was eventually used as a verb"
