AZJazzyJ Jun 28, 2008 07:06AM understands the concept but believes that Web 2.0 changes the playing field of who may be viewed as a VIP.
johnrhopkins asks Jun 28, 2008 02:07PM AZJazzyJ How do you figure? I have some W2.0 heroes, but I can't see them being important to more than a very niche audience.
liamvictor says Jun 28, 2008 02:55PM Mia Farrow but not Gordon Brown, Nicolas Sarkozy, Horst Koehler... ?
johnrhopkins says Jun 28, 2008 02:59PM Send Guy links to blogs that you think should be there! He is super quick and always open to suggestions.
johnrhopkins says Jun 28, 2008 03:36PM Not sure, but on Twitter he is VERY active but in spurts. If he is on the left coast, I hopefully he is luck enough to still be asleep.
AZJazzyJ Jun 28, 2008 04:21PM understands johnrhopkins but sees this evolving into people being able to identify who is a VIP to them.
AZJazzyJ wants Jun 28, 2008 04:23PM Alltop to become an avenue where I can decide who is important and have it search to find people meeting my criteria. A personal aggregator.
AZJazzyJ asks Jun 28, 2008 05:03PM if Guykawasaki tried the mobile plurk page that lays out more like Twitter?
ArminaX Jun 28, 2008 05:21PM prefers the Plurk display, but thinks it requires some use before you get comfy with it. Now MUCH faster than twitter for me
LindaZ Jun 28, 2008 05:25PM Guy once you spend some time here and get used to using the mute and mark all as read buttons it is quite easy
LindaZ Jun 28, 2008 05:26PM much easier here to have a complete conversation... not really possible at twitter specially since the replies are not visible and you...
DebInAustin says Jun 28, 2008 07:05PM I think at first the timeline is confusing, but you get used to it. And I like how it facilitates conversation threads.
MackCollier says Jun 28, 2008 07:08PM Guy I noticed that 4 of your first 8 Plurks are promoting alltop. Please understand that Plurk users enjoy conversation here, not promotion
MackCollier says Jun 28, 2008 07:09PM we hope you'll be here to join the many robust conversations, we can find the link to alltop from your profile.
johnrhopkins is Jun 28, 2008 08:56PM not too bothered by the alltop promos, its a place to find things to converse about and places to do it. Participation is expected though.
ConnieBensen Jun 29, 2008 12:38AM mannnn mackcollier! I was trying to talk to guykawasaki about hockey & you're chasing him away
seerysm asks Jun 29, 2008 12:42AM GuyKawasaki are you not interested in participation for time reasons or not enough interest in the community?
Te-ge says Jun 29, 2008 12:46AM you expect followers when you're not willing to participate? That doesn't make a lot of sense on a conversational site.
AllanCockerill thinks Jun 29, 2008 01:07AM it's time to take a deep breath... web 2.0 is about interaction - promotion is fine, but conversation is essential...
AllanCockerill says Jun 29, 2008 01:09AM Alltop is a great concept, so is Plurk, and there is a community developing here very quickly...
AllanCockerill says Jun 29, 2008 01:12AM being seen to be guilty of misusing any community on or offline comes with the danger of an adverse reaction...
puresurplus thinks Jun 29, 2008 01:44AM this is so suspenseful...which hand will guy choose? *jeopardy music*
