| mareacaspica | yeah |
| sdohrn | says | ultimately it's new emoticons  |
| pennygersh | says | No, but it *is* an added fun benefit. |
| TheNanny612 | says | no, not at all.... I love the individual conversations here. The karma is an added bonus. |
| sonnygill | Nope, its about making those connections...i could care less about the Karma, i think its a bit of a ploy just to keep ppl using plurk. |
| Rami | says | not at all, I started plurking without giving Karma any attention, only recently when I got up to 40 did keep an eye on it |
| tamar | says | i think many people find it as a big incentive though. wouldn't you say? |
| rustybrick | says | nah |
| mareacaspica | was | just kidding, btw |
| quiltcetera | says | I love plurk cuz it's easy to follow conversations. Karma? Extra motivation. |
| pennygersh | says | I think the karma scores and comparing them (and the emoticons) brings out the zany/geekiness in us. |
| sdohrn | thinks | it definitely is an incentive, almost a perverse one - makes it easier to get addicted |
| sonnygill | I'm betting that if they got rid of karma (or didn't start off with it in the first place) ppl wouldn't be plurking as much. |
| sonnygill | like a 3rd of the plurks i see is about ppl talking about their karma and how it went up or down. |
| vbin | says | shame on you karma whores out there (you know who you are)! |
| smashingred | says | Karma is a distraction and in many ways a detraction. On Twitter if you are sharing you will get follows and more convo. Here its noise. |
| smashingred | says | Its human nature to get more when they have the ability to through their own action. |
| smashingred | says | it takes discipline or apathy to ignore your Karma stats. |
| semscholar | says | I plurk more often because of karma but I would plurk nonetheless |
| pennygersh | says | I think there are 3 camps here: 1. Above Karma 2. Enjoy Karma 3. Whore Karma. |
| sdohrn | says | and we all enjoy the convos |
| kevyn | says | nope , sorry |
| theGypsy | says | was an interesting novelty originally... not much any more |
| minmax2k | says | Karma is almost the reason I don't plurk! |
| esonline | says | some of us, especially those that are/were Tweeps, understand the social and network aspects of this medium. |
| minmax2k | says | Gather.com has had Gather Points for a few years... they can be redeemed for cash money, but that's not my motivation... |
| CantonDog | says | nope. Plurk Karma is a novelty, but not the reason I stay on the site. |
| Rubab | says | i love to talk to my friends and get their responses.. which i normally dont experience.. |
| mwilton13 | says | No, my hopes are that Plurk will eventually take off and start some great discussions between SEO/SEM's. I am tired of the karma whores... |
| topsurf | says | I think when you start out it's all about the K and the emoticons, then you develop friendships and the K doesn't really matter anymore IMO |
| topsurf | says | I enjoy the conversations and the friendships much more than the K. The K is just like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae |
| MikeLewis | says | I do it for the smileys  |
| thor13 | maybe but i like the interesting ppl like you |
| mwilton13 | says | No, karma is one of the reasons I often don't want to plurk. Too many people are karma crazy and feel the need to plurk just for karma. |
| ★Lifecruiser | says | Nope, definitely not. As shown by my not so many plurks comparing to plurk responses. It's all about socializing & have fun  |
| lizard.beer | are you kidding me? it rocks here. i care about the karma but i LOVE the plurk. |
