MackCollier is Jun 04, 2008 03:13AM noticing that my plurks seem to get more replies than my tweets, hmmmm
servantofchaos says Jun 04, 2008 03:13AM Maybe because they are easier to see? For the moment at least.
epodcaster says Jun 04, 2008 03:20AM I think it's because we can keep track of the conversation. Makes it easier to reply.
Connie Jun 04, 2008 03:22AM I think, like Twitter, it depends on time you're posting. I've had some tweets/plurks get no response at all.
Connie Jun 04, 2008 03:22AM Plurks 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.
Connie Jun 04, 2008 03:23AM That said, I've had a lot of conversation here by responding to other plurks.
markgoren says Jun 04, 2008 03:37AM I'd agree that it's much easier to follow conversations here than on twitter. With twitter, you need another site track discussions.
jayseae thinks Jun 04, 2008 12:35PM conversations are definitely easier to follow (and catch up on) on Plurk. On Twitter, you have to scroll back, and back, and back...
sonnygill says Jun 04, 2008 12:43PM but you lose the 1to1 aspect that Twitter has vs. the grouped responses here.
MackCollier says Jun 04, 2008 01:26PM sonny I think that's a decent point. Will be interesting to see if we start coming here for convos?
jayseae feels Jun 04, 2008 01:36PM that Plurk is more for conversation, while Twitter is more for status updates.
jordanbehan thinks Jun 04, 2008 06:32PM Jaiku still wins for displaying microblog posts and threaded convos.
jayseae says Jun 04, 2008 07:49PM that may be, but there are probably more people on Plurk than on Jaiku... Google ran Jaiku into the ground, since it's still closed.
SheilaS says Jun 04, 2008 08:12PM Oh, so that's what the red box next to a plurk means - you answer it & it threads. Duh.
jayseae says Jun 04, 2008 08:22PM actually the red box means "unread" - when it's dimmed, it means that there are responses.
