• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:01 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
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:01 WeDoCreative says all equally.

  August 02, 2008 at 19:02 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.
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:03 WeDoCreative says well pownce is just slow & painful at the mo...it's quite sad.
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:05 amsall says Chris, are you sure you've really, REALLY tried it?
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:06 pritcharddesign thinks Chris has left the building
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:08 WeDoCreative says prithardesign me thinks you're right
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:30 AmberCadabra Chris, whether you've left or not, I'm glad to see you here!
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:32 DaveMurr I hear ya - but it does grow on you... kind of like a conversation over a bottle of wine
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:34 Amie says I hated plurk at first. But I have found some value here that isn't replicated elsewhere.
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:36 AZJazzyJ thinks this was a drive-by plurk to buzz the tower.
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:36 AZJazzyJ says "negative ghost rider, the pattern is full."
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:37 onepinktee it took me several days of steady plurking to get over the hump, Chris
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 19:57 TheNanny612 says I think Plurk is easier to converse with people.... many conversations going on at the same time.
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 20:08 frankmartin says it is you chris! Pop back at 9:00 for our Plurkshop and you will see the beauty of Plurk in action
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 20:07 frankmartin says Thats 9:00 Eastern Tuesday night next week

  August 02, 2008 at 20:29 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..
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 20:46 Grumba says get with it- we're all leaving Twitter because we can haz conversations here.
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 21:27 JohnScottDixon says It's more complex - but check this thread - totally would have missed it on Twitter - keeping comments together rules!
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 21:28 bashbosh thinks that Plurk is way to better than borring Twitter
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 21:28 pritcharddesign says um, he's not listening...
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 21:33 AZJazzyJ loves flyby Karma boost posts.
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 22:52 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.
• 
  August 02, 2008 at 22:52 Lilac Moon says we all love plurk
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 00:30 anniemal ur not alone. I just don't get plurk.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 12:34 DianesThoughts says chrisbrogan you've got to give plurk a chance.. I wasn't sure at first but now I love it!
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 12:40 Finucane is not sure how someone who has only done 8 posts can claim to have given Plurk a chance.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 12:42 uniquefrequency says chrisbrogan: ask one of the open ended questions you always do on Twitter, and you'll get it.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 12:47 Finucane says Perhaps part of getting it is reading and responding to your own posts.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 12:51 Lilac Moon says
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 14:07 robins says I agree with you Chris. Plurk doesn't do it for me
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 14:23 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
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 14:23 4byoung says Didn't get it either & didn't like the Karma feature. Changed my mind after a couple of Plurkshops though.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 14:45 ajmsnr says not fond of Karma, but like the threading aspect of it. Twitter has no threading & is less reliable
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 14:48 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.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 14:50 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.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 14:51 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
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 14:51 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.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 14:52 Finucane says <end rant>
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 14:57 uniquefrequency says finucane: agreed. you don't start a conversation and then ignore it.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 15:06 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.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 19:39 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?
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 19:39 chrisbrogan says Further, if your version of showing me why you love it is crapping on my use of it ,wow. Useful.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 19:40 chrisbrogan says Finally, not all services are for everyone. Maybe you love it great and I don't. Just opinions. We all have one.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 19:59 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.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 20:00 Finucane says Why not actually try an experiment and cross post your twitter posts here and see what kind of posts you get?
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 20:02 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.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 20:02 Finucane says conversation
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 20:22 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?
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 20:41 Myrnaslist says LEMills what don't you like?
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 20:43 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.
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 21:25 LEMills says Myrnaslist the gaming for responses and frequency, the lack of favoriting, not knowing where I responded, all the clicking back and forth
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 21:39 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
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 21:52 LEMills has a few pages saved, but a star-tag would be so much easier!
• 
  August 03, 2008 at 21:57 Myrnaslist says I agree
• 
  August 04, 2008 at 00:03 lolagoetz thinks plurk is much more high-maintenance than twitter, but does like how much easier it is to follow conversations.
• 
  August 04, 2008 at 04:20 jcass says chrisbrogan you can try ping.fm to crossposting here and Twitter at the same time
• 
  August 04, 2008 at 09:52 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
• 
  August 04, 2008 at 12:15 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?
• 
  August 05, 2008 at 16:13 christinahills says I had Myrnaslist show me plurk in person. Made a BIG difference
• 
  August 05, 2008 at 16:40 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
• 
  August 28, 2008 at 15:39 JohnnyRokkit says stay!
• 
  October 07, 2008 at 19:02 genieyclo says nope, it's pretty cool.but take so much of your time and just doesn't work well with other services..am afraid it'll turn into a cult!
• 
  October 07, 2008 at 20:50 pico says but plurkers loves chrisbrogan
• 
  October 07, 2008 at 23:07 esd714 says plurk is easier to follow give and take-but not as easy to follow micro-blogs
• 
  October 07, 2008 at 23:07 esd714 says just my opinion of course
• 
  October 08, 2008 at 09:39 douglasderda likes that he can mute certain plurks
• 
  October 08, 2008 at 11:06 pico says if every plurker very much in love with chrisbrogan's, I certainly will mute this plurk
• 
  October 24, 2008 at 20:30 dahfiddlah not that thrilled about it either
• 
  October 24, 2008 at 20:31 TwilaMarie lives here....,
• 
  October 24, 2008 at 20:43 sorgatron Just on the bandwagon....
• 
  October 24, 2008 at 20:47 TwilaMarie wants a Plurkfest somewhere
• 
  November 06, 2008 at 07:08 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.
• 
  November 10, 2008 at 17:05 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
• 
  December 04, 2008 at 17:05 FunkyDung says I like the conversational aspect of Plurk. Twitter is too "flat".
