Yes, it’s nice to see it go up, but it shouldn’t be the over-riding factor for plurking.

I think it is important that Plurk doesn’t get full of spammers, or mindless idiots, but then again too, we all find different things interesting, and even I find myself commenting on topics, I wouldn’t think of starting myself.

It’s all social interaction after all, and that’s the name of the game.

On the other side of the fence, sometimes almost all of us can do with a chill pill, and just relax. What I mean is that we don’t always need to be talking “shop” (whatever that might be to each of us); sometimes, it’s good to hang out and have some chat about trivial stuff, just to unwind.

But I do think on a minimal level responses are more critical than new Plurks because they do indicate a level of community participation…assuming they’re not fluff and nonsense. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens!

I hate to admit it, but Scoble hit it on the head first thing out of the gate that people will try to game the Karma system… people are adept at finding boundaries and pushing them, so much like DIGG periodically updates its social algorithms so must any site with a growing fan base - to keep it interesting.

After all, what is fun about this little experiment we call life (virtual or otherwise) without growth and change?
