The Age of Notifications – https://medium.com/backcha...
"The portals haven’t gone away, exactly, but they have been supplanted by feeds that live inside services such as Facebook. The idea of organizing content in a constantly updating stream is simple, compelling and wonderfully suited to our constant visitations to services we love. The two giants of feeds — still at the top of their games — were Facebook and Twitter." - Cristo
I think about this a lot. In trying to filter out noise or avoid information overload-induced anxiety attacks, what serendipity or life-expanding information are we (okay, am I) missing out on? - joey - team everyone
Users need to be able to express their priorities without it being a burden. Also, attention span throughout the day varies, so information display needs to be flexible (e.g. progressive disclosure). - Cristo
joey, I don't know. But queue software architecture tells us that messages will be lost (or not seen immediately) no matter what you do when the volume becomes large enough. Knowing this is important so you design the queue architecture to degrade gracefully, and hopefully logically. - Cristo
Yes, I agree. I just don't know how to handle that space where I might know what I want but not what is actually good for me (or what I might want tomorrow). - joey - team everyone
Only three questions need to be asked. Is this actionable, or information? Is this urgent? When is this no longer valuable? | | If it's urgent and I miss it, how long should it bother being a priority? If I can't act on it, is it important? If I see one article about some information, aren't most other articles significantly less valuable automatically? (This is how I handle email, and sometimes it ends up with weird issues, where I feel the other person might want a response, but there is no further action needed from me. And I don't want to add a pointless item for them.) - OCoG of FF, Jimminy
