Over 57,000 Filipinos are on Plurk

At least, according to Plurk’s new search feature. Users on Plurk may choose to not provide their real location, age, and even gender, and that may affect the data collected by social-networking and micro-blogging service.
With various pundits basically calling Plurk dead, will Plurk go the way of Friendster, fail to find a significant audience in the Western world, and gradually accept that many of its fans are from the Philippines?

I tried to search for “United States” and only got about 50,000 results. The search field doesn’t allow complex queries (”United States” OR USA OR “U.S.”) so it’s hard to peg the accuracy of the numbers there as well.
What’s even more interesting is that searching for “Canada” only returns 4,600 results, which is a little strange considering that that’s where it hails from.

That’s also excluding Filipinos who aren’t in the Philippines.
