not yet

not in my circle

It would appear to be going strong. I have had to moderate the flow with mutes and do-not-follow instructions.

Yes- seems like I have al ot of things to read these days and I find myself unable to use the "mark all as read" anymore. Mute yes.

KDFrawg plz explain "do not follow" instructions.

If you go to your Friends apge, there is a column you can click on to stop following the Plurks of specific friends.

Having been friended by a few spammy plurkers, I have done that, and it clears up the timeline considerably.

I occasionally go back and follow their plurks to see if they are still endlessly asking "pepsi or Coke" sorts of questions...

fishing for replies and thus increased Karma.

Okay, I gotcha. I have switched some ppl from friends to fans for the same reason.

Frawg, I'm gonna be doing the same I think. I think I'll get over losing Karma...

There are some really cool people here (like present company) and I don't want to miss their plurks in among the spammy ones.

I think the novelty of karma is wearing off for a lot of people once they realize how great the conversations are.

I hope connie is right. Karma is for the owners of Plurk, really. The conversation is for us.

Agrees with Connie. The conversations here are the reason I am here and not Twitter more.

I have never really peeked in interest here. I like the threaded view, but it still seems like too much wurk.

it is a bit of work, but so is good conversation anywhere.

I agree w/ Frawg. Twitter, in my opinion, is even harder for conversation- too hard to follow smoothly.

I do miss the simplicity of twitter. I feel like I miss much here. I could go off in too many directions and never find my way back.

Twitter is just too linear for a group conversation. It's like going to a party and being asked to line up to talk serially.

I understand. Crap, I forgot what I was going to say...

Too many jumping icons in my face.

Oh, I know...A lot o the conversations here seem to center around plurk itself, karma and just people slapping each other on the back.

a lot of them do. An, thankfully, some of them don't.

That's because we're all learning plurk at the same time, but have had some very good conversations about social media in other threads.

And it is easy to miss them.

I have clicked on threads that sounded interesting only to find that it degraded into nothing.

Connie is correct, as always.

StarrGazr when that happens, use the mute feature so that thread will not show up in your timeline again.

Well, I will keep trying because all the cool kids have jumped the twitter ship to be here, but I haven't found a flow that works or me.

I'm too easily distracted, I think.

if you do not filter what is in the timeline, and if you have more than a few friends, it can be overwhelming.

So, you limit your friends and have to filter what gets thrown you way?

That's my preferred way. Other way is to keep everything in your timeline, then dip in and out like Twitter, using Mark all as read.

I have tried both, and filtering gives me a better chance of seeing the parts that I want.

just poking around on plurk because he's bored and twitter is slow. Plurk is kinda cool, need more friends though

it still seems like so much trouble. And now I am having this conversation and two(?) others. I had trouble finding this one again.

You'll get the hang of it, I would guess. You have to be good at pushing and popping on the stack, to use nerdly terms.

Yeah, and that's the part I find annoying. I do love scrolling the timeline with my trackpad though... Perhaps TOO much.

LOL! MacBook?

activity seems fine in his community. last weekend was a bit slow too. *shrug*

comme ci, comme ça.
