    @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!

      @bugabundo: Same here. I definitely prefer identi.ca (which I think is more used/better used than twitter).

      @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.

      @silner: Good point. I feel better connected to the people here on identi.ca than I do on twitter. *shrug*

    • silner silner

      @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?

      Saturday, 04-Jul-09 20:32:16 UTC
    • Alvaro Alvaro Identi.ca

      @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)

    • silner silner

      @gamerchick02 That's a really good observation.

      Saturday, 04-Jul-09 22:18:16 UTC
    • silner silner

      @gamerchick02 No they don't. That's a real missing feature too. So obvious. Almost all the other networks have some version of groups.

    • silner silner

      @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.

      Saturday, 04-Jul-09 22:21:28 UTC
    • Amy H. Amy H. silner

      @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.

      Saturday, 04-Jul-09 23:05:06 UTC
    • silner silner

      @gamerchick02 I am interested in some of the groups actually, but FB is so hard to use properly without sitting on their site.

      Saturday, 04-Jul-09 23:10:51 UTC
    • Amy H. Amy H. silner

      @silner: Agreed. I don't mind the site, but it loads insanely slow too often.
