jefftippett says i like being able to follow the conversations. i wish there were a "replies" tab like twitter.
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:01PM

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
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:01PM

WeDoCreative says all equally.
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:02PM

Cindy Thomas says well it's good to see you over here!
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:02PM

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.
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:03PM

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?
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:06PM

beminedesign thinks Chris has left the building
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:08PM

WeDoCreative says prithardesign me thinks you're right
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:30PM

AmberCadabra Chris, whether you've left or not, I'm glad to see you here!
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:32PM

DaveMurr I hear ya - but it does grow on you... kind of like a conversation over a bottle of wine
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:34PM

Amie says I hated plurk at first. But I have found some value here that isn't replicated elsewhere.
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:36PM

AZJazzyJ thinks this was a drive-by plurk to buzz the tower.
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:36PM

AZJazzyJ says "negative ghost rider, the pattern is full."
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:37PM

onepinktee it took me several days of steady plurking to get over the hump, Chris
Aug 02, 2008 - 07:57PM

TheNanny612 says I think Plurk is easier to converse with people.... many conversations going on at the same time.
Aug 02, 2008 - 08:08PM

frankmartin says it is you chris! Pop back at 9:00 for our Plurkshop and you will see the beauty of Plurk in action
Aug 02, 2008 - 08:07PM

frankmartin says Thats 9:00 Eastern Tuesday night next week
Aug 02, 2008 - 08:29PM

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..
Aug 02, 2008 - 08:46PM

Grumba says get with it- we're all leaving Twitter because we can haz conversations here.
Aug 02, 2008 - 09:27PM

JohnScottDixon says It's more complex - but check this thread - totally would have missed it on Twitter - keeping comments together rules!
Aug 02, 2008 - 09:28PM

bashbosh thinks that Plurk is way to better than borring Twitter
Aug 02, 2008 - 09:28PM

beminedesign says um, he's not listening...
Aug 02, 2008 - 09:33PM

AZJazzyJ loves flyby Karma boost posts.
Aug 02, 2008 - 10:52PM

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.
Aug 02, 2008 - 10:52PM

Lilac Moon says we all love plurk
Aug 03, 2008 - 12:30AM

anniemal ur not alone. I just don't get plurk.
Aug 03, 2008 - 12:34PM

DianesThoughts says chrisbrogan you've got to give plurk a chance.. I wasn't sure at first but now I love it!
Aug 03, 2008 - 12:40PM

finucane is not sure how someone who has only done 8 posts can claim to have given Plurk a chance.
Aug 03, 2008 - 12:47PM

finucane says Perhaps part of getting it is reading and responding to your own posts.
Aug 03, 2008 - 12:51PM

Lilac Moon says
Aug 03, 2008 - 02:07PM

robins says I agree with you Chris. Plurk doesn't do it for me
Aug 03, 2008 - 02:23PM

Myrnaslist says finucane lol right on target for chrisbrogan and probably robins and others who whine that they don't get it-you have to do it to get it
Aug 03, 2008 - 02:23PM

4byoung says Didn't get it either & didn't like the Karma feature. Changed my mind after a couple of Plurkshops though.
Aug 03, 2008 - 02:48PM

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.
Aug 03, 2008 - 02:50PM

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.
Aug 03, 2008 - 02:51PM

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
Aug 03, 2008 - 02:51PM

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.
Aug 03, 2008 - 02:52PM

finucane says <end rant>
Aug 03, 2008 - 03:06PM

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.
Aug 03, 2008 - 07:39PM

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?
Aug 03, 2008 - 07:39PM

chrisbrogan says Further, if your version of showing me why you love it is crapping on my use of it ,wow. Useful.
Aug 03, 2008 - 07:40PM

chrisbrogan says Finally, not all services are for everyone. Maybe you love it great and I don't. Just opinions. We all have one.
Aug 03, 2008 - 07:59PM

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.
Aug 03, 2008 - 08:00PM

finucane says Why not actually try an experiment and cross post your twitter posts here and see what kind of posts you get?
Aug 03, 2008 - 08:02PM

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.
Aug 03, 2008 - 08:02PM

finucane says conversation
Aug 03, 2008 - 08:22PM

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?
Aug 03, 2008 - 08:41PM

Myrnaslist says LEMills what don't you like?
Aug 03, 2008 - 08:43PM

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.
Aug 03, 2008 - 09:25PM

LEMills says Myrnaslist the gaming for responses and frequency, the lack of favoriting, not knowing where I responded, all the clicking back and forth
Aug 03, 2008 - 09:39PM

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
Aug 03, 2008 - 09:52PM

LEMills has a few pages saved, but a star-tag would be so much easier!
Aug 03, 2008 - 09:57PM

Myrnaslist says I agree
Aug 04, 2008 - 12:03AM

lolagoetz thinks plurk is much more high-maintenance than twitter, but does like how much easier it is to follow conversations.
Aug 04, 2008 - 04:20AM

jcass says chrisbrogan you can try ping.fm to crossposting here and Twitter at the same time
Aug 04, 2008 - 09:52AM

ppmartin says Plurk is a clever service & it takes a while for each Plurker to find the way s/he is most comfortable with this news tool
Aug 04, 2008 - 12:15PM

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?
Aug 05, 2008 - 04:13PM

christinahills says I had Myrnaslist show me plurk in person. Made a BIG difference
Aug 05, 2008 - 04:40PM

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
Aug 28, 2008 - 03:39PM

JohnnyRokkit says stay!
Oct 07, 2008 - 11:07PM

esd714 says plurk is easier to follow give and take-but not as easy to follow micro-blogs
Oct 07, 2008 - 11:07PM

esd714 says just my opinion of course
Oct 08, 2008 - 09:39AM

douglasderda likes that he can mute certain plurks
Oct 24, 2008 - 08:30PM

dahfiddlah not that thrilled about it either
Oct 24, 2008 - 08:31PM

TwilaMarie lives here....,
Oct 24, 2008 - 08:43PM

sorgatron Just on the bandwagon....
Oct 24, 2008 - 08:47PM

TwilaMarie wants a Plurkfest somewhere
Nov 06, 2008 - 07:08AM

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.
Nov 10, 2008 - 05:05PM

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
Dec 04, 2008 - 05:05PM

FunkyDung says I like the conversational aspect of Plurk. Twitter is too "flat".

chrisbrogan says plurk plurk plurk. I still don't like it. Must just be me.
