you can mute conversations you've no interest in
I wouldn't know how it's different from Facebook or Twitter, also, as I don't have a Facebook or a Twitter, but for me the appeal is that
I can say whatever I like about anything I'd like, and the people who are interested will reply, while the people are not have no obligation
to.
as opposed to real life conversations, in which I try to muddle about finding something in common and never leave Awkward Land.
But isn't the 'muting' going to be something you'll have to continuously do?
what do you mean?
for example
as I'm talking to you on plurk
I'm getting all these new updates and new responses on my timeline.
technically I'll have to go around and clear it all every time
how do you get around that*?
you mute them! you only have to click it once, and as long as you don't unmute it, it shouldn't show up again
ooh, that's cool.
okay, so about
the people who are interested will reply, people who are not have no obligation: so is that unique to plurk?
sometimes plurk will bump muted plurks a few days later, as a glitchy... thing, but that's a rare occurrence, and only bumps a handful of
them anyhow
coolios!
no, that particular factor isn't unique to plurk. it's more of an internet thing than anything else.
plurk is like a mix of twitter and lj.
but plurk is nice because you can bring up absolutely useless things that you want to talk about anyhow, like...
...*twitter and IM
it's easier to navigate than twitter, and each plurk functions like a little chatroom
you could make a plurk about stubbing your toe or such, but in a forum that sort of post would be considered an unnecessary waste of space
but without the exclusion that can come from walking into a chat too late and not know the context. people can join in on a conversation
you could mention it in a chat, but chats are single linear conversations
whenever, it's always available
--yeah

Oh man, I've read Silver Diamond
didn't they stop scanlating it though because it was licensed?
yeah, but TokyoPop dropped it...? or something happened
in any case, it was picked up again and is now scanlated (albeit... messily...) on a couple sites up to chapter 33, if I recall
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh A
I'm so going to catch up on it holy shitasdlfadf I loved it
also, Noblesse, read a bit of it, and it was all cool but it gets hazardous with the grammar that I got a headache
SILVER DIAMOND IS REALLY GOOD
the scanlators for Noblesse are
