< :: what are we building? : streams vs queues : small monologue on large conversations :: >
- type: doodle
- drawn with: iPad Pro - Apples Notes
- series: post 4 of 10
questions
- how does the order of messages change our perception of what has happend?
- twitter is latest on top, like a news feed or queue
- new telegram appears at the bottom, like a chat conversation
- how new content appears also feels differently:
- telegram messages just arrive, sometimes in a flood
- twitter requires an expliclt "pull down to refresh" action
- how would seeing new messages on a geospatial map feel?
- what if two of my friends posted something near each other, at the same time?
- neither platform shows a length of time that passed between two messages: they are all equidistant from one another
