coolcatteacher hates Aug 28, 2008 10:31AM karma - I don't care if I'm up or down - just let me connect and remove it. WHO CARES?
the TIRED guy thinks Aug 28, 2008 02:32PM the useful thing about Karma is it gives the kiddies who are so focused on treating this like a game a different score to focus on.
the TIRED guy thinks Aug 28, 2008 02:35PM I just don't have the problems here that I see so often on Twitter and other web 2.0 services.
TekZeno says Aug 28, 2008 02:43PM I usually don't look at it until I get close to hitting a new marker Then I want to see what new "stuff" I have.
drlaurienAL says Aug 28, 2008 02:44PM i know i don't like the Karma think either. I like the info I learn from everyone here
tjshay says Aug 28, 2008 02:51PM Amen! I had stopped looking a long time ago because I had to scroll down on laptop. It shows on my school desktop, but my distaste remains.
Gramma Annie! says Aug 28, 2008 02:54PM yeah, it's not like it's money or anything that can help buy school supplies for the kids
pelgin says Aug 28, 2008 02:54PM good thing there is no karma in Twitter....mine would be in a nosedive right now
Gramma Annie! says Aug 28, 2008 02:57PM mine to elemteach, I haven't visited Twitter in quite some time.
cyndidannerkuhn says Aug 28, 2008 02:56PM I actually agree with you,, still think I like twitter better!!
Gramma Annie! says Aug 28, 2008 02:57PM I prefer Plurk - the notifications, the ongoing conversation - easier to follow.
heza says Aug 28, 2008 03:05PM I also prefer plurk, but think karma is silly: doesn't make sense. Mine was always 30 and now, it's going up to over 40 for no reason. weird
the TIRED guy says Aug 28, 2008 03:09PM I think they've tried to design karma so that the people who care more about meaningful conversations will end up with higher karma.
nichole says Aug 28, 2008 03:11PM don't like the karma either. but love the threads of conversation. much easier to follow
digimom says Aug 28, 2008 03:16PM I wish you could turn it off. or just hide it so it's not there. staring at you. calling you. taunting you.
jgustin says Aug 28, 2008 03:30PM Agreed. Discussions on plurk much better, just more people on Twitter. Karma is like a pie cooling on the windowsill, hard to ignore.
techtiger says Aug 28, 2008 03:56PM I don't really look at Karma anymore, but when i look at the amount of plurks/responses I realize how much I learned
mcarls Aug 28, 2008 04:18PM I think there should be a way to opt out of even having the Karma there....
vdub144 Aug 28, 2008 06:03PM You can edit your CSS and make your Karma "invisible" by turning it the same color as the background.
bookjewel Aug 28, 2008 08:49PM I agree but I also love the emoticons...sometimes they sum up what I want to say perfectly
Curtiswebs thinks Aug 29, 2008 01:16AM Karma does help keep the conversations appropriate. I just don't think you should be penalized for inactivity.
Curtiswebs Aug 29, 2008 01:17AM Losing friends indicates that you've angered someone and might be a good reason to cost Karma.
coolcatteacher says Sep 12, 2008 09:32PM I don't like to have another guilt trip - today I'm down from 50 something to 30 something b/c too busy this week.
