Truly.<BR/><BR/>But really good conversations are at FriendFeed. Incredible place. How would you compare to Plurk, Mack?

Lovely! ;-) <BR/><BR/>Mack you bring up an excellent point, it is all about the threaded conversation. To be able to ask a question and get responses from people you know, may not know, or heard from otherwise is amazing—and enlightening—to me. <BR/><BR/>Plurk conversations are as if I could be right there at a meeting, seminar, or party. The on-the-fly banter is just the added bonus that truly gives you a sense of someone's personality...in real time. <BR/><BR/>As well, if it weren't for Plurk, I wouldn't have had the "get-to-know-you" conversations with you, @timjackson and @connie. Would it have happened on Twitter? Maybe, but not as soon or as carefree.<BR/><BR/>I am a huge fan of Plurk and I cannot wait to see where it goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-87436951246293976082008-06-15T21:58:00.000-05:002008-06-15T21:58:00.000-05:00Erika I agree, Twitter is easier to grasp, but for...Erika I agree, Twitter is easier to grasp, but for convos, Plurk is the winner hands-down.Mack Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723628321171539590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-41954044582242843462008-06-15T20:57:00.000-05:002008-06-15T20:57:00.000-05:00Darren I think you could be at least partially rig...Darren I think you could be at least partially right about people wanting to throw out more plurks to get more karma. Then again, it looks like once you hit 50 that's it for emoticons, so that should stop a lot of the 'noise', if that's what it is.Mack Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723628321171539590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-76809749506710014052008-06-15T20:54:00.000-05:002008-06-15T20:54:00.000-05:00I just found plurk, and I love it! :)I just found plurk, and I love it! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-75611688206521951942008-06-15T13:48:00.000-05:002008-06-15T13:48:00.000-05:00I love the threaded conversation aspect of Plurk, ...I love the threaded conversation aspect of Plurk, although I wish that learning the ropes were a bit easier than just diving in. In that respect, Twitter's a bit easier to use, but once you get the hang of Plurk, it's quite natural.

People, by nature, are competitive.<BR/><BR/>Mack you're right; the threaded conversations have produced some of the very best discussions on Social Media I have ever seen. Some occasional silliness is often tossed in as well, but it keeps things lively and people are really participating. I really only visit Twitter now to see what's happening that I can't really miss... and then I go back to Plurk to talk about it.<BR/><BR/>Plurk is winning me over- and I was a HUGE skeptic.Tim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656450355435181157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-12075786394225059092008-06-15T11:25:00.000-05:002008-06-15T11:25:00.000-05:00I'm enjoying plurk so far, I'm not sure that the r...I'm enjoying plurk so far, I'm not sure that the rush to gain stats is helpful to the community on the whole, after all people simple say anything to have another plurk, but as an experiement it is fun for now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
