    i like being able to follow the conversations. i wish there were a "replies" tab like twitter.
  • WeDoCreative says
    nope, definitely not just you. There are plenty of other who don't either - but heck, i use twitter, plurk & friendfeed and I like them
  • Cindy Thomas says
    (g_lol) well it's good to see you over here! (s_bye)
  • WeDoCreative says
    hey, whilst your here - i'm not sure if you've seen this post - but if you like it, could you share it amongst your readers?
  • pfanderson says
    there are things I like about Twitter, and things I like about Plurk. Find myself in both of them more than either Jaiku or Pownce.
  • WeDoCreative says
    well pownce is just slow & painful at the mo...it's quite sad.
  • amsall says
    Chris, are you sure you've really, REALLY tried it?
  • AmberCadabra
    Chris, whether you've left or not, I'm glad to see you here!
  • DaveMurr
    I hear ya - but it does grow on you... kind of like a conversation over a bottle of wine
  • Amie says
    I hated plurk at first. But I have found some value here that isn't replicated elsewhere.
  • AZJazzyJ thinks
    this was a drive-by plurk to buzz the tower.
  • AZJazzyJ says
    "negative ghost rider, the pattern is full."
  • onepinktee
    it took me several days of steady plurking to get over the hump, Chris
  • TheNanny612 says
    I think Plurk is easier to converse with people.... many conversations going on at the same time.
  • frankmartin says
    it is you chris! Pop back at 9:00 for our Plurkshop and you will see the beauty of Plurk in action
  • frankmartin says
    Thats 9:00 Eastern Tuesday night next week
  • mattsearles says
    Yeah, I think you kinda have to spend a little time on it. It's def a more intimate experience, or at least it feels that way to me..
  • Grumba says
    get with it- we're all leaving Twitter because we can haz conversations here.
  • JohnScottDixon says
    It's more complex - but check this thread - totally would have missed it on Twitter - keeping comments together rules!
  • bashbosh thinks
    that Plurk is way to better than borring Twitter :-)
  • AZJazzyJ loves
    flyby Karma boost posts.
  • joshhinds says
    I like it, but I'm often finding myself hitting the "mark all read" -- to experience "plurk zero" :-) if even for just a moment.
  • Lilac Moon says
    we all love plurk (K)
  • anniemal
    ur not alone. I just don't get plurk.
  • DianesThoughts says
    chrisbrogan you've got to give plurk a chance.. I wasn't sure at first but now I (K)love it!
  • finucane is
    not sure how someone who has only done 8 posts can claim to have given Plurk a chance.
  • finucane says
    Perhaps part of getting it is reading and responding to your own posts.
  • robins says
    I agree with you Chris. Plurk doesn't do it for me
  • 4byoung says
    Didn't get it either & didn't like the Karma feature. Changed my mind after a couple of Plurkshops though.
  • finucane says
    It's really a shame too, cause chrisbrogan would stand to gain more from Plurk than most. Maybe he should ask ProBlogger about it.
  • finucane says
    and not to beat a dead horse here, but I'm sorry, alot of you that complain about Plurk need to look at who you are following.
  • finucane says
    I've looked at some of your friend lists and its mostly folks that only come over to Plurk when Twitter is down, and complain about Plurk
  • finucane says
    I've said it before and it's like going to Taco Bell after Burger King is closed and complaining that they don't have Whoppers.
  • finucane says
    <end rant>
  • ruyoung
    i don't like it either. i thinki it is the annoying emoticons that put me off. i gave it a shot, though i'll stick to twitter.
  • chrisbrogan says
    Okay, so let's take some of this. First, is a comment the start of a conversation. It was a statement. Are ALL posts conversations?
  • chrisbrogan says
    Further, if your version of showing me why you love it is crapping on my use of it ,wow. Useful.
  • chrisbrogan says
    Finally, not all services are for everyone. Maybe you love it great and I don't. Just opinions. We all have one.
  • finucane says
    What you've mostly posted here on Plurk are complaints about Plurk. How can you expect to get the effect of this service if you don't try.
  • finucane says
    Why not actually try an experiment and cross post your twitter posts here and see what kind of posts you get?
  • finucane says
    Also, you have over 1,100 people as fans and friends, so yes, everything you post will more than likely generate some level of coversation.
  • finucane says
    conversation
  • LEMills says
    I don't like a lot of it, either, but like it b/c of the threads. If it weren't for Plurk, who would have known about the lost twitterers?
  • AZJazzyJ thinks
    by nature the Plurk interface contains all responses giving the comment a sense of beginning a conversation even without meaning it as such.
  • LEMills says
    Myrnaslist the gaming for responses and frequency, the lack of favoriting, not knowing where I responded, all the clicking back and forth
  • Myrnaslist says
    yes I see-you can favorite by clicking plurk page below and saving in your favorites-the gaming I agree-wastes good energy-so ego (g_doh)
  • LEMills has
    a few pages saved, but a star-tag would be so much easier!
  • lolagoetz thinks
    plurk is much more high-maintenance than twitter, but does like how much easier it is to follow conversations.
  • mattsearles says
    I can see the scaling issue for someone like you, but I wonder if there might not still be a way to integrate it into you total thing?
  • etorsten thinks
    plurk is much more conversational than twitter, but there is still a long raod ahead for the developers, to make this service more useful
  • esd714 says
    plurk is easier to follow give and take-but not as easy to follow micro-blogs
  • esd714 says
    just my opinion of course
  • douglasderda likes
    that he can mute certain plurks
  • dahfiddlah
    not that thrilled about it either (angry)
  • sorgatron
    Just on the bandwagon....
  • TwilaMarie wants
    a Plurkfest somewhere
  • chrisabraham says
    I don't know how to find the replies... I would love a "see only comments" and if there is one, I can't find it.
  • pliffgrieff says
    Chris, click on the "View" link on the new plurks tab at the bottom left of your timeline- you get all the new comments
  • FunkyDung says
    I like the conversational aspect of Plurk. Twitter is too "flat".
