  June 11, 2008 at 02:21 Mike Nally says for me it really is all about the threaded conversations. This place is full of more real people and fewer "celebrities" too ala Twitter.

  June 11, 2008 at 05:01 ppmartin says the main advantage is indeed the ability to go back to any past "Plurks" and add comments.

  June 11, 2008 at 05:02 ppmartin says it thus has a bit of "Friendfeed" to it - and lots of smileys
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 05:23 lolagoetz likes the ability to carry on and follow conversations. it's much easier than @ on twitter, in that regard.
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 13:06 LindaZ welcome to conversations that you can follow from beginning to end and now you can mute the ones you don't want to follow
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 13:19 ppmartin shares lolagoetz view on the ability to carry on conversations, although there should be a way to flag those Plurks you have responded to.
