  • wsigele
    I like it! but becoming addicted to it... :'-(
  • GingerLewman says
    I couldn't hold my tongue. Hobbled up on twisted ankle to do it!
  • wsigele
    I saw you! W00T!
  • derrallg says
    I'm having fun with it
  • njtechteacher says
    I'm still feeling my way through it. Interface isn't immediately intuitive.
  • n2teaching
    It's fun & interesting; developing my skills; not sure about cliques, lowering of karma.
  • JackieB
    I like it. I'm still not sure how well i can follow conversations - especially if more people start using it. Figuring it out.
  • JackieB
    lizbdavis - I saw it, thank you. I'm thinking more about when I return to the computer & managing it all. I'm getting there.
  • lizbdavis says
    I agree - it can be hard to keep up with conversations.
  • GingerLewman says
    We won't know how to deal with it until we have the opportunity to.
  • GingerLewman
    Also, thinks that friends/fans will come into play more.
  • McTeach feels
    a kindship with GingerTPLC as I have a bum ankle now too! At least it ain't broke! Oh, and I'm loving plurk coolcatteacher!
  • McTeach thinks
    this English teacher should proofread her own plurks before hitting "enter"! "kinship" not "kindship"
  • fceblog says
    What I like the most is seeing the network showing up again to help. Wonder if I would be here without you all.
  • metaweb says
    vicki? You profile says CA not GA... are you the FAMOUS vicki davis of worlwide blogging fame or someone else? hehe :-o
  • cobannon says
    I like Plurk. The conversations you can have here makes it all worth it. Takes getting used to, but all changes do.
  • cobannon says
    Haven't abandoned Twitter, but I am more involved here in conversations and I like that aspect.

    Plurk! It's like a message board, but without all the searching thru and opening threads.
  • KarinB has
    been enjoying Plurk. I'm a little obsessed with it right now like I was the first week or two on twitter. I like the conversational format
  • datruss says
    Just playing around... seems to take too much time, I lurk more on Twitter.
  • kimcaise says
    i tend to agree with you datruss although i didnt care for twitter at first. now i am addicted.
  • nnorris says
    I like plurk - seems to be a great deal more interaction and ongoing conversation!
  • mindelei likes
    some things about plurk - but not sure if it outweighs twitter yet. I bet they have similar issues as they grow too.
  • EdVentures says
    I like the responses of Plurk but the flow of Twitter. Plus I've grown attached to the community I've grown there.
  • cobannon says
    I think it's funny that coolcatteacher started this and we've totally hijacked it. (s_dance) Hope she doesn't mind.
  • mstina says
    I still love twitter, still bewildered and few friends in plurk...
  • lizbdavis says
    Totally agree with you ther Caroline. I guess Vicki doesn't actually like Plurk.
  • lizbdavis says
    Tina - give it a little time. It will start to make sense to you.
  • cobannon says
    Just "fanned" you mstina so you've got another follower (s_bye)
  • EdVentures says
    mstina has just found another friend!
  • Skip Z says
    I like it. I have to see after NECC how heavy the traffic is. I think I weigh my words more carefully before I tweet than I do on Plurk. :-)
  • heza says
    I like Plurk. In Twitter, when I read an interesting response, it's hard to find the original question. Easier to follow conversation here.
  • nnorris says
    I agree with heza, that's exactly what is so great about plurk, easy to follow a conversation, also format compels people to reply to posts
  • kwhobbes says
    I love Plurk! I've found it much easier to join discussions like this one, keep up and it has less calories so it' better for you!
  • heza says
    yes, exactly, nnoris! I find I am joining in the conversation much more than I usually do in twitter.
  • msansonetti loves
    plurk. its easier to follow conversations. I feel a part of the conversation and not struggling to figure out what is being said
  • mhobkirk says
    I agree with those of you who've said its easier to follow a conversation. I also think easier to build that online network
  • mcarls
    I'm loving it. Dependable, I love how it keeps conversations together. Plus you can go to plurk.com/m for "Twitterlike" view
  • nnorris says
    I wonder of coolcatteacher will be back to check on the responses to her plurk?
  • tmcgath says
    not sure I like the method of finding friends and fans but the conversations are definitely easier to follow
  • LParisi says
    still liking the format of twitter. Hard to find and connect with specific people. Takes a long time to follow conversations.
  • Luke thinks
    it may have overload problems, like twitter, as more people migrate here.
  • vdub144 says
    Think that's one of the main reasons I'm not trying to get "everyone" here at this point.
  • lfeld52 says
    trying to plurk and twitter that must make me a twurker!
  • Teryl says
    I'm liking it more and more every day...threaded conversations, more personal, able to mute, etc. All good things
  • KarinB likes
    the word 'twurker', good one ifeld52!
  • cobannon says
    I'm a twurker, too. Just can't leave Twitter alone, but feels more isolated over there.
  • mhobkirk says
    ohh, I like that term - Twurker. I think that's me!
  • EdVentures says
    yeah, Twurkey just doesn't sound the same... :-o
  • cobannon says
    (s_LOL) Sounds like engineered turkey.
  • fsinfo says
    still figuring it out. Like these threads.
  • EdVentures
    agrees that the threaded responses are invaluable in this tool. Allows for greater participation. 2 thumbs up!
  • KarinB likes
    that this original plurk was from June 28, today is July 3 & it is still getting comments & everyone can read the comments..........
  • KarinB
    continues.......cant' follow a thread that deep i twitter.
  • EdVentures
    wonders if someone should tell Vicki D that she's missing all the fun!
  • KarinB says
    She may be reading but not commenting???
  • mizminh
    warmimg to plurk
  • jmachemer says
    The karma inspires me to do more...I guess I need extrinsic motivation!
  • coolcatteacher says
    Oh guys - you didn't hijack this thread - the jury is still out for me on plurk.
  • coolcatteacher was
    at necc and didn't have time to do much plurking! Plus I can autotweet twitter!
  • vanishingpoint says
    still struggliong with the plurk interface, and getting lost in conversations.
  • vanishingpoint shares
    i can't tell whether I like to get this deep in a convo... it feels like there is nothing new happening just older threads to go back to..
  • vanishingpoint
    continues: anyone else feel that way?
  • kgard says
    I started using twitter and plurk at the same time but I am definitely sticking with plurk.
  • fsinfo likes
    being able to follow a threaded discussion- not losing older pages like in twitter
  • KarinB says
    vanishingpoint nice to see you on Plurk! Lots happening here, great conversations.
  • bknittle likes
    the grouping of discussion in plurk, but feel compelled to keep reading everything.
  • bknittle thinks
    with twitter I just popped in and read what is up, did not go back in time to much.
  • bknittle wishes
    I could find some balance and just track one tool not two.
  • nnorris says
    vanishingpoint plurk conversations have so rich and full of good cotent, it's worth it, hang in there!
  • techjulia says
    I like Plurk but I feel like I have to check out the Unread plurks. In twitter I just read my home page to see what was going on...
  • nnorris says
    techjulia you can click mute on plurks that don't interest you and just keep the ones you want to see the replies to - that helps
  • Eloise says
    I'm undecided. That puts it ahead of twitter that I stopped using quite deliberately a few months ago and I don't miss it.
  • nhill says
    I like plurk...I like that you can ask questions and get conversation.
  • n2teaching says
    I like Plurk very much! Learn more and enjoy Plurkadians more... (s_cozy)
  • bookjewel
    Count me plurked!
  • mcarls
    I do as well
  • spillarke says
    I like it but don't get many comments so sometimes seems like I'm talking to myself
  • pelgin loves
    that this conversation began June 28 and is still going strong. The beauty of plurk! :-)
