I've noticed there are a lot more men than wormen on Friendfeed, in the conversations anyway.
jjprojects

There are just as many women on Twitter though I think. Maybe it's the kind of conversations you have scobleizer, not sure.

plurk is interactive. And shiny. I have noticed that FF in particular seems very male (although I am there, too)
LindaZ says

did you notice how scoble starts a plurk and does not participate?
sillypixie says

good question. I'm here because the interactions I have on plurk seem to have more value than a scrolling scream of tweets...

plurk is much more pretty than friendfeed. weird that it matters, but I think that's one reason. and little emoticons. (s_mmm)

Not sure how many "women" there are but there sure are a lot of people using female names...

Plurk = potassium and we're all needing some extra, hence the banana situation

hopes scobleizer has the patience 2 read and respond to plurks (incl his own) cuz that's how to build your community and have a GREAT time!
margalit says

Plurk is more of a women's platform than Twitter. It's more interactive and thus has deeper conversations.
bryansays says

They like the pretty colors, avatars, and timeline. :-)
zenith says

way to go with the stereotypes! A woman here who isn't particularly impressed by 'pretty colour' and hates the timeline. ;-)
LindaZ says
17 years ago
Rogue Tess he is not participating cuz he does not like plurk - remember plurk is conversation not announcements
LindaZ says
17 years ago
and he certainly does not need to build community he already has his following, are we not continuing this conversation without him

It's fine to observe the demographics, but it isn't ok to joke like this. Replace the comments to be making fun of a race; see how bad it is

RogueTess says

LindaZ ;-) I guess it's OUR community. I like the "not announcements" observation! I attend to the plurks:ann ratio when adding friends.

the answer is: because Plurk is more EMOTIONAL ....
MikeLewis says

Plurk encourages people to post thoughts and feelings. Why would a woman not love a service like this.
MikeLewis says
17 years ago
besides, all people talk about on Friendfeed is Friendfeed. You're going to bore a woman and a lot of men real quick with endless bantor.
CreativeSage says

I actually prefer FriendFeed to Plurk so far, and I'm not sure it's divided by gender. I have about equal female and male friends on both.
CreativeSage says
17 years ago
I'll add that the conversation on Plurk seems a little bit less techie than FriendFeed, but I just got on Plurk.

I've friended you here, too, Robert. I think you still have to friend me back.;-) Maybe Plurk has more women overall? I'm not sure of stats.
johnbudnik says

My female friends prefer Plurk to FF or Twitter. There's something about the emoticons and backgrounds that appeals to them B-)
🇺🇦HighDef🇺🇦 says

it's probably due to Plurk being a much better platform in all ways, and because you're such a manly stud.
