the JoshMeister thinks Jul 27, 2008 03:53PM it's interesting that WendyKnits has invited 429 friends to Plurk but currently has only 309 friends
RogueTess says Jul 27, 2008 04:15PM as a bona fide friend of WendyKnits I attest that she's an awesome blogger, plurker, knitter and published author who never spams.
AZJazzyJ is Jul 27, 2008 04:19PM amazed that many people are interested in knitting and the Internet. I never would have guessed that.
RogueTess says Jul 27, 2008 05:22PM AZJazzyJ it ain't your grandma's knitting anymore! Punk, geek, alternative and guerrilla knitting (e.g. cozies on parking meters). Fun!
AZJazzyJ is Jul 27, 2008 05:32PM always afraid my wife is knitting a straight jacket to put me in and she carries like 27 sizes of knitting needles. Knitters scare me.
AZJazzyJ wonders Jul 27, 2008 05:33PM how many of WendyKnits friends are knitters and how many are perlers? Perlers seem to be the ugly step-sisters of knitting.
Urbn gurU says Jul 27, 2008 05:36PM her invites would actually become 'fans' before they can change it to 'friends'
RogueTess thinks Jul 27, 2008 05:41PM there's more bias against crocheters (hookers!) than knit vs. purl. Also there's Continental vs. English (yarn in L vs R hand). High drama!
AZJazzyJ says Jul 27, 2008 05:49PM I introduced my wife as a "hooker" once, just once. Two hours in the emergency room to remove a crochet hook from my leg was enough.
the JoshMeister has Jul 28, 2008 03:41AM never accused WendyKnits of being a spammer, for the record! I follow her and I think she has interesting things to say
the JoshMeister Jul 28, 2008 03:41AM just thought it was interesting that she didn't keep all 429 people as friends
the JoshMeister says Jul 28, 2008 03:42AM pfunkmort: I'm with you there, man. I've been stuck at 44 invitations accepted for about a month now, I think. I would love to have 50+
AZJazzyJ thinks Jul 28, 2008 03:42AM it is interesting to see how a Plurk conversation evolves. I doubt it ever goes how the person who started it thought it would.
the JoshMeister thinks Jul 28, 2008 03:43AM all of the people I've invited have instantly become "friends" as opposed to fans, if I'm not mistaken
Telperion says Jul 28, 2008 06:43PM maybe some of those friends chose to unfriend *her*. or never did friend her
