| MackCollier | says | my Twitter/Plurk comparison post is live: moblogsmoproblems.blogspot.com/2008/06/twitter-vs-plurk-who-wins.html |
| seerysm | says | posted it to my facebook profile |
| Tim Jackson | will | read it when I finish reading here |
| DebInAustin | says | love the A-team error page. |
| DebInAustin | says | I keep hoping Plurk will go from just play to professional exchange/networking. |
| Connie | I think that, like Twitter, plurk will become what we make of it. No reason we can't use it for professional networking as well as fun. |
| Tim Jackson | debindenver it's gonna happen with the evolution of this space. |
| MackCollier | says | Deb if Plurk can give me professional value as well as a fun experience, that MIGHT be the Twitter-killer. For now, Twitter has both |
| Connie | I think plurk could do that now - we could have a thread that is professional discussion - problem is finding/returning to it. |
| DebInAustin | says | Mack I agree. I think that if enough of our professional contacts migrate then this will happen. So we need to evangelize... |
| Tim Jackson | yes- still a touch of evolution brewing here... like my coffee |
| MackCollier | says | or would it make more sense to separate the two, make Twitter for professional contacts, Plurk for fun? |
| DebInAustin | says | well, selfishly, I like this interface better than twitter, so would vote for Plurk. But, it is nice to separate work & play. |
| Tim Jackson | But I think most folks are not as plugged in as we, so having one place to go is the ideal for them- I think that would have more power. |
| Connie | Few folks are as plugged in as we are. Would like to see some demographics on Twitter/Plurk users. Would help me make recommendations to ppl |
| MackCollier | says | connie I agree. This is a reason why Jennifer Laycock said she doesn't like Plurk, cause she can't quickly explain what it is 2 SMB owners |
| sonnygill | agrees with separating the two out between work and play. Thats one of the bigger things missing from Plurk, lack of prof. talks. |
| sonnygill | and thanks mackcollier for the hat-tip  |
| jayseae | thinks | that there is no reason that Plurk can't be "professional". It is completely what you make of it, and it can totally evolve. |
| jayseae | says | there are certainly people who will not be professional, there are others who can, and still others who can do both. It's up to us. |
| jayseae | feels | that many people probably thought Twitter would never be - and there are certainly times where it isn't - but it has moved that way. |
| MackCollier | says | seerysm not sure I can completely agree. Many cos are still scared to death of how they will b viewed based on the 'content' they r next 2 |
| MackCollier | says | but I agree with you and Chad, you can use Plurk for work or play, but if everyone else is using it for play, Twitter might b better 4 work |
| seerysm | says | MackCollier - you're completely right, by "real convos" I meant us talking srsly about our industries, not actual cos using this as a tool |
| salas | says | I still feel more "at home" when on twitter |
