davidalston feels Jul 03, 2008 03:13AM this whole karma formula is flawed. Plurk responses worth next to nothing vs. plurks. What makes them less valuable. Its conversation right?
ConnieBensen Jul 03, 2008 03:16AM I agree - it's just the # of posts I believe. And it almost waters it down because so many post things of little value like g'nite
ConnieBensen Jul 03, 2008 03:16AM and the karma is to motivate us to earn smileys - umm just give me the dang smileys & let me express myself! I will come back more
DebInAustin says Jul 03, 2008 03:17AM Interesting thing I notice I have a ten to one ratio of responses to Plurks. Also, apparently what really helps is to have a lot of
AmberCadabra Jul 03, 2008 03:17AM davidalston you're not alone in your assessment. many of us have happily chucked karma to the wind.
davidmullen says Jul 03, 2008 04:04AM i've ignored it so far. seems like a joke to me that rewards plurks for the sake of plurks. annoying...
miketempleton Jul 03, 2008 04:13AM Karma is not something to worry about. There are those that will enjoy it, but it doesn't really add to the conversation.
DebInAustin says Jul 03, 2008 04:14AM actually it does add to the conversation. For several weeks people talked about it constantly. Then, you hit 60 and realize there is life
bruceturner Jul 03, 2008 04:27AM I honestly have little patience for those who are too wound up in karma scores. I didn't come here to be competitive, rather to converse.
davidmullen says Jul 03, 2008 04:28AM bruceturner - amen! i'm not here for self. i'm here for community.
DebInAustin says Jul 03, 2008 04:29AM I don't think it was competition. It was just something for people to have fun joking about together. It was like getting to the next level
DebInAustin says Jul 03, 2008 04:29AM When will I get the dancing banana, when will I get the beer mug crashing guys. It was common experience that facilitated play.
DebInAustin says Jul 03, 2008 04:30AM It was just interesting to see the amount of conversation on it.I am sure Plurk didn't think it would occupy so much of plurkers thoughts!
davidalston feels Jul 03, 2008 12:01PM better now that everyone thinks Karma is for the birds (tweet tweet)
davidalston Jul 03, 2008 12:02PM Sorry all I made this plurk and then had to hit the road home (long commute) so miss the commenting action.
