MackCollier says Jun 07, 2008 04:57PM I got 9 traffic referrals from Plurk in 30 mins after posting link to my Twitter/Plurk post here, got 8 referrals from posting it on Twitter
MackCollier says Jun 07, 2008 04:57PM diff is, I have 137 followers here, 1,366 on Twitter. Interesting results, methinks.
Tim Jackson Jun 07, 2008 04:58PM Yep- this community seems to be embracing its members more. A touch more "supportive".
onepinktee says Jun 07, 2008 05:01PM what is your ballpark ratio of close friends to others on Twitter vs Plurk?
MackCollier says Jun 07, 2008 05:02PM Tara due to the timeline I am being more selective about following people here, I have to be or else it will become too cluttered
MackCollier says Jun 07, 2008 05:03PM so Plurk has much lower ratio, more close friends here, at least for me
MackCollier says Jun 07, 2008 05:06PM wonder if that's cause the people here WANT to be here, and some on Twitter are using it cause everyone else does?
Connie Jun 07, 2008 05:06PM Good point. Word is out that Twitter can be used for marketing as well as networking. Some ppl there rarely tweet.
Tim Jackson Jun 07, 2008 05:09PM the bulk of people who follow me on Twitter hardly ever tweet- it's like having a Facebook page or MySpace account- you're just expected to
Connie Jun 07, 2008 05:11PM Didn't start out that way, but that's what happens when a platform becomes more widely adopted even though it's not mainstream yet.
MackCollier says Jun 07, 2008 05:13PM connie good point, if Plurk ever starts seeing the floodgates open, the experience could change, hope it doesnt
sonnygill Jun 07, 2008 05:30PM interesting. I looked for yesterday when I linked to my post here and twitter. 17 - plurk. 8 - twitter.
jayseae says Jun 07, 2008 07:52PM that Twitter is definitely "do because everyone does", while Plurk is almost "do because others don't"...
Media Hunter says Jun 07, 2008 11:38PM i agree Mack. I think Plurk has potential as a promotional tool.
jbspartners says Jun 08, 2008 04:59AM You must have excellent followers in Plurk. I don't get many commenters, else my Plurks are lame.
acnatta Jun 08, 2008 01:52PM I think followers in Plurk are folks you trust and they trust you, especially since many companies aren't using it yet.
lizstrauss says Jun 09, 2008 11:19PM TimJackson don't pick on annhandley during her conference. That's not nice.
