plingme stores links (shortcuts) to your programs, documents, bookmarks, pictures, system resources and tools on a 3D shape. The links can be stored individually or as group - there is scrollbar button type for linking to and browsing system folders. Saved positions can be created to help navigate around the shape.

plingme allows any different shape to be used to store the links. It can accept 3DS format files as a basis for a shape. A shape's settings can be modified including it's physics, colour, visibility and texture. Just a few changes can make a shape appear completely different. For instance go to 'Shape Settings' then 'Options' and click 'Hide' for the shape and 'Two Sides' for the button.

Links are placed on 'buttons'. Buttons can be added to virtually any part of a shape at virtually any size. Buttons can be placed on top of each other. Buttons are added using the inbuilt button designer, just click wherever it says 'Add Buttons'.

Everything on a shape including all the links, pictures, textures, bookmarks, shape settings, sound and positions is stored within the shape. Actual files and the links to them are not stored.

A populated shape can be saved out of plingme to be shared or submitted to plingme.com.
