to this plurk.
June 04, 2008 at 03:13servantofchaossaysMaybe because they are easier to see? For the moment at least.
June 04, 2008 at 03:15ConnieIf you're online at the time, it's easy to reply on Plurk.
June 04, 2008 at 03:16ariedanasaysMine seem to get less. But that's the case on FF too.
June 04, 2008 at 03:20epodcastersaysI think it's because we can keep track of the conversation. Makes it easier to reply.
June 04, 2008 at 03:21MackColliersaysthat could be it, Twitter can be hard to keep up with
June 04, 2008 at 03:22ConnieI think, like Twitter, it depends on time you're posting. I've had some tweets/plurks get no response at all.
June 04, 2008 at 03:22ConniePlurks disappear off timeline quickly, and if you've been offline a while, you have to hit Mark all as Read because can't catch up.
June 04, 2008 at 03:23MackColliersaysok Connie your 2nd reply popped WHILE I was reading them, wow!
June 04, 2008 at 03:23ConnieThat said, I've had a lot of conversation here by responding to other plurks.
June 04, 2008 at 03:37markgorensaysI'd agree that it's much easier to follow conversations here than on twitter. With twitter, you need another site track discussions.
June 04, 2008 at 12:35jayseaethinksconversations are definitely easier to follow (and catch up on) on Plurk. On Twitter, you have to scroll back, and back, and back...
June 04, 2008 at 12:43sonnygillsaysbut you lose the 1to1 aspect that Twitter has vs. the grouped responses here.
June 04, 2008 at 13:26MackColliersayssonny I think that's a decent point. Will be interesting to see if we start coming here for convos?
June 04, 2008 at 13:36jayseaefeelsthat Plurk is more for conversation, while Twitter is more for status updates.
June 04, 2008 at 18:32jordanbehanthinksJaiku still wins for displaying microblog posts and threaded convos.
June 04, 2008 at 19:49jayseaesaysthat may be, but there are probably more people on Plurk than on Jaiku... Google ran Jaiku into the ground, since it's still closed.
June 04, 2008 at 19:56jordanbehansharesyour opinion on that matter, Jayseae.
June 04, 2008 at 20:12SheilaSsaysOh, so that's what the red box next to a plurk means - you answer it & it threads. Duh.
June 04, 2008 at 20:22jayseaesaysactually the red box means "unread" - when it's dimmed, it means that there are responses.
