Why Plurk Over Twitter #5: Timeless Conversations
June 7, 2008 – 12:44 pm | by Daryl TayI don’t know about you, but usually when I wake up in the morning, I don’t check for the tweets I missed while I was asleep on Twitter. I did in the beginning, but after awhile it became too much. Also, after I tweet, I rarely get responses to that specific after 24 hours. The reason being people only get to see my tweet before they respond. In other words, Twitter tends to be time-sensitive.
On Plurk, I’m beginning to find out that the interactions there are much more timeless than on Twitter. For instance, yesterday I has an “unofficial Introduction Friday“, that now has 72 replies, and they’re still coming in.
The reason why it’s so active, is that everyone doesn’t only see my plurk like on Twitter, but of everyone else that replies. So maybe someone didn’t log on to Plurk for 30 hours (the travesty!) and comments on Introduction Friday, the thread suddenly goes live again and maybe someone else replies to that comment, and the conversation continues.
In fact waynesutton asked the community what feature they’d most want to see on Plurk a good five days ago, and I woke up this morning to see new replies still coming in. When was the last time that happened for you on Twitter?
