it’s not necessarily ‘discord’ - just think light and fast group chat. you all would love to be at the same bar debating and thinking aloud...you just can’t so replicate that level of casualness and velocity in a chat. tweets ain’t it— ryan dawidjan (@ryandawidjan) December 7, 2018

so many intense and lively twitter debates should just be held in an ephemeral read-only discord channela lot of real-time nuance, dialogue, and clarification are lost in these monster threads— ryan dawidjan (@ryandawidjan) December 7, 2018

The reason I've found conversation more valuable than reading recently (inspired by my chats with @kevinakwok, to name one) is that reading is a uni-directional and often brittle bundle of information flow. Conversation adapts in real-time.— Eugene Wei (@eugenewei) April 17, 2018

Fermat’s Library is a platform for illuminating academic papers. A new scientific paper annotated every week.

“The main way to prevent software from rotting, it seems, is to maintain it: update it so that it continues to work as the platforms supporting them change underneath. In this sense, though, it’s not the same software you started with, as it’s continuously changing.”

Are.na is a platform for connecting ideas and building knowledge.

That’s part of what makes Branch different from the question-and-answer site Quora, which it’s often compared to. On Quora, users vote on the best answer, which shoots to the top of the page. On Branch, answers to a prompt are listed chronologically. "They’re Q and A. We’re conversation," Miller said. "We’re not interested in the right answer. We’re interested in the conversation." clients might be interested in using the site to broadcast a conversation between a few top execs, sort of like a semi-public email system that employees could read straight from the source without the danger of it turning into a reply-all party.

“was emailing with a friend about screenshots of conversation and how they change what we feel comfortable saying and to whom. the next time you're thinking of saying something, just convey that you've already said it.”

base banana bread recipe \o/✨I'm so much more efficient at (and therefore likely to execute accurately) a recipe when it's visual! sometimes I substitute the sugar with 2 more bananas and it is still delicious (but more dense) pic.twitter.com/eWHjJEe3eh— daiyi! ✨ (chris) (@daiyitastic) February 19, 2019

Earlier this month, the Unicode Consortium debuted its final list of new emojis for 2019—and we debated it. Some men felt challenged by what Pinching Hand implied about their bodies while some women challenged Drop of Blood for not being explicit enough about theirs. If I see this next

“Two questions. Respond in the poll for #1 and in replies for #2. 1. Do you get stressed out at work? 2. What makes that stress go away?”

“However, I think this is more a case of accommodation rather than intended design. Group chat is simply a series of free pipes distributed via an app for you to send images and text through. ‘You’ as a group get to decide what is ok, normal, and expected to be shared. Rarely is it ever an explicit ‘decision’.”

“I'd wager that in the right context, 20-40% of our daily digital conversations could be surfaced publicly and be tremendously valuable”

“@purpleyay @not_unambitious I know someone who tracks contacting friends in OmniFocus – which sounds almost callous at first blush, but really strike me as a deep expression of caring”

“Beginning to think that until you're fully content with it being unseen/unheard, your new habit or activity isn't really that powerful.”

“sometimes I think social channels are an escape valve for ambition, scares me a bit personally”

“It’s really amazing that anyone feels comfortable sharing their unfinished work with me to critique. Totally honored.”

“Critique because you care.”

“So since it's my birthday, please answer one of these prompts: “What's your favorite memory of me?” “What an impact I've had on you that you haven't shared with me?” “What's the biggest change you've seen in me since you first met me (or in the last year)?””
