@bugabundo: Because they're mean? Also, twitter is the "most used" (though I beg to differ) of the microblog platforms?
-
@bugabundo Because people are lazy, and Twitter is right there. Never mind the identical API, putting the URL in a variable is too hard.
-
@bugabundo it _is_ the weekend - give them some time!
-
@gamerchick02 yeah it depends how you measure it. I reckon FB is most populous, Friendfeed is busiest per capita, etc..
-
@bugabundo That's a bit stronger than I would put it, but I would travel some of the way with you on that road.
-
@bugabundo: I mean people utilize the service better, for conversation, like we're having. Twitter is for broadcasting.
-
@gamerchick02 Yeah, I was going to add that identica has the most active groups, but I ran out of characters.
-
@gamerchick02 !identica defintely has the warmest community, but you can't quantify that.
-
@silner: Does twitter even have groups?
-
@gamerchick02 Nope, no groups on twitter. That's one of the things which make !identica more useful.

@silner: How about in the number of people who stay after creating an account? I say that can quantify the experience... right? (I hope so.)
-
@slackusr: Agreed. I like joining groups that are interesting to me. :)
-
@bugabundo: Internet is slow? Sorry to hear that! :-P
-
@bugabundo: :( My DSL is pretty speedy.

just made some tortillas. Going to do some rice-n-beans with salsa and shrimp for dinner. #yummy
-
@t3knomanser that sounds fabulous!
-
@slackusr No groups, but there's a website where you can post to groups on Twitter, #Twibes (www.twibes.com)
-
@gamerchick02 That's a really good observation.
-
@gamerchick02 No they don't. That's a real missing feature too. So obvious. Almost all the other networks have some version of groups.
-
@bugabundo That's a lot, but as @gamerchick02 observed. I wonder how many FB users are effectively dormant. I know I rarely even log in now.
-
@silner: I do log in over there... I wasn't for awhile, but now I do. I'm connecting with many people in different groups.
-
@gamerchick02 I am interested in some of the groups actually, but FB is so hard to use properly without sitting on their site.
-
@silner: Agreed. I don't mind the site, but it loads insanely slow too often.
