  • How do people behave if they have a limited number of set connections?
  • Does anything change if connection count isn't visible to others?

Listening Period or Reflection Space

  • The Listening Period was presented by Gordon Mangum at Center for Civic Media, and can be perused in further detail here
  • A Reflection Space was posited as an IntrospectionBot which might prompt a mental stretch similar to desktop reminders to get up and move around.

Threading Model

  • What is in the conversation?
  • Who can participate?
  • Who can view?
  • How many nesting levels are there?

Privacy Control

  • Who can see and interact with the discussion?

Scope Control

Set by the poster via the platform: who and how many people is the post advertised to?

Prioritization

Velocity of Content

  • Possible to inject unicorns in order to appease system 1
