"Everywhere I go on Twitter everyone is talking about Plurk right now!" exclaims tireless neo-camgirl Sarah Austin, the videoblogger formerly known as Sarah Meyers, and before that Sarah Austin. In this video report, filed via some future-fantastic combination of Web services and mobile-phone video live from the street in Manhattan, Sarah not only gets the story, she almost gets hit by a car.

If only you people would stop clicking on posts about Julia Allison and Meghan Asha, you would make Metaversatility biz-dev guy Chadrick Baker very happy. "Please, please for all that is good and is right in the world," Baker beseeches us in an email, "please stop reporting on nitwits." Below, the "smart, attractive geeky entrepreneurial type girls" Chadrick thinks we should be writing about instead. Who's your favorite? Vote for her in our poll.

Don't be surprised by the way Pop Snap TV's Sarah Meyers badgers VentureBeat's Eric Eldon. "Are you a blogger?" she asks. "Do you like to blog? Are you into writing on your blog about technology? Are you a geek? Geeky geek geek." This happens all the time, people. So does heartbreak. Which is I'm sure what one very special correspondent felt when CNET videoblogger Natali Del Conte told Wired's Aaron Rowe, "I think you're like one of my only matches."
Eventually, even the womenfolk defy easy categories. Hence, the first of two catchall girly rounds to polish off this excessive day of polling. Herein are Brookers, Christine, Ximena Falla, Randi Jayne, Jenny Lee, and Sarah Meyers. Find their vote-holes after the jump.

Watch the above video if you must — D7TV's Sarah Meyers hits this past weekend's party for "natural language" search engine Powerset. Best quotes:
Girl 1: (gestures grandly) Powerset is going to transform the search industry. (uncertain pause) I was told to say this. Meyers: They were telling me that the Internet is going to be like a person. Girl 1: YES!!! Meyers: But you know? I don't really believe that Powerset's going to be a like a person. (turns to other girl) Do you think it's going to be like a person? Girl 2: (befuddled) No ... (more strongly) NO!
Actually, no, wait — here's the best quote, from comments at Techcrunch:
I am a VC who has invested $100,000 in PowerSet and am desperately worried.
Maybe Powerset will be like a person who drinks a little too much sometimes.
