Haven't really figured out plurk yet, but have been getting more "fans" - just thought I'd try it again. I like twitter better I think

Me too.

Your tweet inside Facebook brought me back here, actually.

I think this is good for near synchronous written conversation. Still, to me, it misses the serendipity of Twitter.

I prefer plurk because it keeps the conversation thread together.

That's definitely an advantage.

I imagine I'd say...ok guys, let's go to plurk and have a conversation.

But it's hard to imagine someone opening an account here just for one conversation.

For one conversation, I think a chat room would be better (like www.tinychat.com/ ). To me, Plurk & Twitter have different uses.

JackieB Agreed. Thanks for the link.

Actually, I am preparing a presentation on the use of chat in the classroom. So re-thinking Plurk right now.

I think if you stuck with it for a week or so, you'd see it's value. And you need about 50-80 friends since you're already used to Twitter.
