Jun 11, 2008 - 01:36PM

Morton Fox okay
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:36PM

theGypsy says not so sure about the true value of it... help? or Harm?
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:37PM

storyspinner says think it's more harm than good.... to be honest
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:38PM

theGypsy thinks it is starting to look that way...
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:41PM

GemStar38 says it is a way to make plurk sticky, karma keeps you coming back
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:42PM

theGypsy says hasn't been my experience... larger percentage of my mates have come and gone in the last week....
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:42PM

storyspinner says i think it builds more resentment to be honest, i just get pissed off cuz they take karma away
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:42PM

storyspinner says don't use it for karma, the multimedia features rock
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:43PM

theGypsy says it basically encourages PlurkSpam
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:43PM

storyspinner says and more gaming of the system
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:43PM

theGypsy says the more U babble about friggen nothing... the more U R rewarded
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:43PM

theGypsy says like Digg giving Total Submissions more weight than Popular subs....
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:44PM

theGypsy says peeps would submit total crap... thousands of em
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:45PM

GemStar38 says I'm not saying it doesn't produce crap but it is a way for the plurk creators to encourage users to chat and use plurk
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:46PM

bloggeries says I think you are right lot's ofpeople get so down about losing it and give up. They also feel like they can't "win" so they quit
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:46PM

storyspinner says i think there are a lot better ways to do that. karma, creates a contest, and people always try to cheat
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:47PM

bloggeries says it should be what all good SM is about. Meeting / Networking & Forming Collaborations. Not how "cool you are" which is totally flawed IMO.
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:48PM

bloggeries says I wrote a long think about it and should post soon
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:48PM

bloggeries says Gist: In the karma equation they should equate avg # of responoses. OR only give credit for a plurk once it hits X replies.
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:48PM

bloggeries says A plurk with no replies is useless. Also how can you have great karma for plurking so much if you have 10 friends who don't login
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:48PM

bloggeries says so no one even reads your stuff.
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:49PM

bloggeries says we must remember they ONLY have 8000 members we are still beta i guess it just got bigger fast. This jedi is patient
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:51PM

theGypsy says well I am getting tired of muting a dozen plurks out of 14 - even that ain't doing it - I've seen ONE WORD plurks... just silly and useless
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:52PM

bloggeries says he agrees.
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:52PM

Myriam ★彡 thinks there is place for all plurkers, even those who plurk for karma, just set your friends and fans and you won't be spoiled by what don't want
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:52PM

kaydee will remember to make two word plurks even when one word says it all
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:53PM

bloggeries says Amix just said they are rolling out a new algorithm next week that will punish non productive plurk usage.
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:54PM

notjaya says i agree with myriam everybody has rights to do whatever they want with their plurks, it's just the matter of being their friend/fan or not
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:56PM

notjaya asks does non-productivity relate to quality or quantity?
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:59PM

theGypsy says kaydee Oh I have 2 words 4 U dear he he... jaya but you see if influencers poo poo the Plurk it will die a slow death... so issues there a
Jun 11, 2008 - 01:59PM

theGypsy says can U say *deadpool*??
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:00PM

theGypsy says no service is perfect and must follow the continuous improvement model... there are barriers too wider adoption here methinks
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:00PM

bloggeries says if the top interesting people are NOT interesting and just gaming karma with useless jibber jabber it is no incentive for others.
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:00PM

bloggeries says or truly intersting people to get into it.
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:00PM

bloggeries says it become a competition of who has less a life and spends more time typing about a bug on their desk
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:04PM

kaydee just kidding mr harry would you say that to plurk a question an hour (whatever the question) would be more honest plurking?
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:04PM

Myriam ★彡 asks who cares about the list of most interesting people except those who run for karma ? it's just a hint
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:04PM

kaydee or plurking "good morning"
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:04PM

kaydee or "im going to bed now, goodnight"
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:05PM

Myriam ★彡 thinks most interesting people in my definition of, are often lost in the crowd, no list can help to find them
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:06PM

kaydee my thoughts are whatever type of posts a purkee makes to 'increase karma' or try it all out you can choose to remove them as a friend
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:06PM

Myriam ★彡 says anyway, even most interesting people have right to plurk silly or mediocrity sometimes
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:06PM

theGypsy says those are reasonable Kay, just seen many that aren't where's the Plurk Polics? he he
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:06PM

theGypsy says DOH *Police* that is
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:07PM

Myriam ★彡 says plurk can be both rewarding and playground, for pete sake enjoy, have fun and laugh seriously
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:09PM

kaydee i hear ya, but its surely up to plurkers to police their own friends list so spam spurlers (splurkers?) would not get an easy ride
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:09PM

NikkiPilkington agrees with theGypsy
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:10PM

kaydee is seriously laughing
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:11PM

theGypsy says I suppose we'll simply watch the active users list - see what the growth, droppage rates ae..
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:18PM

notjaya is taking it easy and continues plurking anyway
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:19PM

Hawksdomain says when I one word plurk or emote only plurk it is because I do not have anything worth saying but want to let my presence be known...
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:20PM

Hawksdomain says besides, I've already reached the height of karma points for emotes, so there is no reason to post as rampantly as I did before
Jun 11, 2008 - 02:40PM

kaydee likes the sound of rampant posting
Jun 11, 2008 - 03:02PM

czar
Jun 11, 2008 - 03:37PM

theGypsy says Plurk to enveil new Karma system
Jun 11, 2008 - 03:37PM

theGypsy says this Gypsy is psycic
Jun 11, 2008 - 03:51PM

Zak Nicola is good call thegypsy
Jun 12, 2008 - 02:56PM

sillypixie asks wouldn't you just stop following someone posting one-word plurks? What use is a high karma with no friends or fans?
Jun 12, 2008 - 06:32PM

pope22 thinks the trick is to be careful who you follow...er...be-friend. If someone is spamming up your timeline, just axe them from your friends list.
Jun 12, 2008 - 08:10PM

skinner says I totally hate spam. It makes it so hard to participate in something like Plurk when you have limited time.
Jun 13, 2008 - 12:13AM

Rosana says It's doing more harm than good. I don't like my Karma dropping when I can't Plurk because of work or illness (or vacation)
Jun 13, 2008 - 12:16AM

gm5000 My karma went down again, and it'll be going down more since I won't be plurking this weekend.
