    plurk is interactive,
  • jjprojects
    I've noticed there are a lot more men than wormen on Friendfeed, in the conversations anyway.
  • jjprojects
    There are just as many women on Twitter though I think. Maybe it's the kind of conversations you have scobleizer, not sure.
  • web2marketing says
    because here they can talk till their karma drops - like real life :-D
  • lisacu00 says
    conversational yet personal, I find plurk
  • tcw115 says
    Don't ask why just go with it.
  • jjprojects
    The conversation is a lot less fromal here, that's for sure.
  • Theo says
    you may check Plurkmania for some nice stats ;-)
  • TheNose100 says
    Plurk makes you look skinny.
  • Jena says
    because the knitting community (we're a powerful blogging force, too) have embraced Plurk.
  • jon426 says
    i'm not a knitter but i agree with jena. they are all over plurk. i'm amazed at their numbers.
  • lu_lu
    thanks for the link, theob :-)
  • Madame Maracas
    Dunno, following ya in all three places
  • Amie says
    plurk is interactive. And shiny. I have noticed that FF in particular seems very male (although I am there, too)
  • LindaZ says
    did you notice how scoble starts a plurk and does not participate?
  • sillypixie says
    good question. I'm here because the interactions I have on plurk seem to have more value than a scrolling scream of tweets...
  • peterkim asks
    is that a bad thing, Robert?
  • ElizabethPW says
    plurk is much more pretty than friendfeed. weird that it matters, but I think that's one reason. and little emoticons. (s_mmm)
  • Djinn1973 says
    Not sure how many "women" there are but there sure are a lot of people using female names...
  • Madame Maracas has
    a working set of ovaries & prefers an interface that WORKS, ability to follow conversations & back track (that working part) of Plurk.
  • keane
    Plurk has (s_dance)
  • LindaZ says
    he is still not participating... (s_annoyed)
  • TheDudeDean says
    They are hear for my dancing banana. (s_dance)(s_dance)(s_dance)(s_dance)(s_dance)
  • webpenguin says
    that's right. Can't live without the dancing banana!
  • Madame Maracas thinks
    Plurk = potassium and we're all needing some extra, hence the banana situation
  • RogueTess
    hopes scobleizer has the patience 2 read and respond to plurks (incl his own) cuz that's how to build your community and have a GREAT time!
  • margalit says
    Plurk is more of a women's platform than Twitter. It's more interactive and thus has deeper conversations.
  • bryansays says
    They like the pretty colors, avatars, and timeline. :-)
  • zenith says
    way to go with the stereotypes! A woman here who isn't particularly impressed by 'pretty colour' and hates the timeline. ;-)
  • LindaZ says
    Rogue Tess he is not participating cuz he does not like plurk - remember plurk is conversation not announcements
  • LindaZ says
    and he certainly does not need to build community he already has his following, are we not continuing this conversation without him
  • DSN wants
    to know if someone really plurked that women can't ressit *the dancing banana*? (s_unsure)
  • PurpleCar
    This is the stupidest, sexist conversation I've seen in social media to date. The jokes don't strike me as funny.
  • PurpleCar
    It's fine to observe the demographics, but it isn't ok to joke like this. Replace the comments to be making fun of a race; see how bad it is
  • Myrnaslist says
    lindaz you know how a dog pees all around when you're walking him? He's just simply marking his territory. Dogs don't care so much about
  • DSN
    disagrees with the *dog pee* analogy. *dog pee* is a conversation.
  • webpenguin says
    some was sexist, but I laughed at the dancing banana joke!
  • RogueTess says
    LindaZ ;-) I guess it's OUR community. I like the "not announcements" observation! I attend to the plurks:ann ratio when adding friends.
  • RogueTess says
    I'm gonna mute this thread now. Why build up scobleizer's karma????
  • PurpleCar
    Especially not for this idiocy.
  • bryansays says
    does muting people lower their Karma?
  • martinbogo
    after the first ten mutes in a day, it seems to
  • davidlynch79 says
    because the default is set to female
  • DBM says
    Because us women like the karma thing
  • DBM says
    Just read - target audience is women so they are doing a good idea reaching us. Of interest....I joined because I got....
  • DBM says
    a notification from indenti.ca that another woman wanted to friend me here. Is that how they do it?
  • captainahab says
    aye, beauties be plentiful in thee plurk lands. Why thee be pointing at me Scobleizer?
  • nobabe says
    the answer is: because Plurk is more EMOTIONAL ....
  • MikeLewis says
    Plurk encourages people to post thoughts and feelings. Why would a woman not love a service like this.
  • MikeLewis says
    besides, all people talk about on Friendfeed is Friendfeed. You're going to bore a woman and a lot of men real quick with endless bantor.
  • CreativeSage says
    I actually prefer FriendFeed to Plurk so far, and I'm not sure it's divided by gender. I have about equal female and male friends on both.
  • CreativeSage says
    I'll add that the conversation on Plurk seems a little bit less techie than FriendFeed, but I just got on Plurk.
  • hrkovar says
    i follow you on twitter-
  • johntindale says
    maybe thats why i like it on here
  • Hall0w says
    good question. :-))
  • Sheryl says
    women like the pretty emoticons? (Ok, enough with the dumb women comments) Women and men think and interact differently. It could be simple
  • MapleMama says
    because I'd rather be a plurkette than a tweetette.
  • FreeTV says
    What makes you sure they are REALLY women?
  • sandi says
    are u sure with what u think??
  • iCultur says
    shouldnt complain about that
  • sandi says
    *hihihi*. don't u love it??
  • CreativeSage says
    I've friended you here, too, Robert. I think you still have to friend me back.;-) Maybe Plurk has more women overall? I'm not sure of stats.
  • johnbudnik says
    My female friends prefer Plurk to FF or Twitter. There's something about the emoticons and backgrounds that appeals to them B-)
  • HighDef says
    it's probably due to Plurk being a much better platform in all ways, and because you're such a manly stud.
  • Leoparditor
    because your hot!!!!! I love you plurkmale
  • etorsten
    because it´s much more conversational than twitter and not so "ego-centered"
  • elise_caile says
    yeah. the studmuffin part. ;-)
  • mkeeffer says
    Because we're smart and you're a babe, Bob!
  • elise_caile wants
    to know if you still think plurk is only going to be popular with 14-year-old girls (per a june post she just read via a blog).
  • xhan
