@exador23 Can you imagine visiting Plurk today ? You wouldn't understand a word of it :-)
-
@exador23 Augh! I assure you, it is not by design!
-
@exador23, shared your link for identi.ca with twitter followers, thanks for sending it.
-
@erinely Yeah - my 'problem' with Plurk is that it's trying to be more clever than useful.
-
@erinely @danpatterson plurk's threading is much better than twitter (or even identi.ca), I ignore a lot of plurks, just like twitter
-
@danpatterson and you haven't been on plurk in over a month, it's gotten much better since it launched.
-
@ghollingsworth So I've heard - but I still haven't found a compelling reason to care. The interface is slick, I guess
-
@danpatterson if you follow the right people, the community aspect is great. Lots of great conversations going on. I'm digging identi.ca
-
@ghollingsworth are there people/conversations on Plurk that aren't happening elsewhere?
-
@danpatterson Yes, large ones, they're called plurkshops. http://www.plurk.com/p/1qc12 (the downside of social media was the topic)
-
@ghollingsworth I guess my real issues are that I'm trying to reduce my social media footprint, and I find the name and design unnecessary
-
@ghollingsworth I KNOW it's an emotional reaction on my part, but I just find that insufferable
-
@danpatterson the name? the name is really that bad?
-
@ghollingsworth the same and abstract design (not interface) are indications that the site is WAY too inside baseball
-
@ghollingsworth All of this are my reactions to Plurk. Given a compelling reason, I'll join. But right now, I've not seen a reason to care
-
@danpatterson i would suggest taking part in the next plurkshop, if you don't like it after that, then never come back.
-
@danpatterson oh, and do you happen to know of a list of politicians that are on twitter?
