Come on in. The party’s just getting started, which is a little awkward for everyone. The good news: the uncomfortable state of beginning doesn’t last forever, and it’s the early visitors that get to play the biggest role in shaping what this becomes.
If you’re visiting from the Core77 article, it probably won’t surprise you to hear that this is an experimental work in process. I would love for this site to be the home of a rich converstion about the joys and sorrows of social interaction design, but it’s going to take some help from you to shape it so that such a conversation can take place. I know a blog isn’t the right format for fluid conversation, and a forum isn’t quite right either. So to begin, I’ve tried to set this up as a sort of blog/forum hybrid.
On the home page you’ll see a set of initial questions — stuff I’d personally love to hear your thoughts on. But if none of them strike your fancy, that’s OK too because you can ask a question of your own. Use the button on the top right of every page to create a new question. It should be on the home page as soon as you’re finished.
Finally, use the “like” buttons to help surface the best questions and comments. Over time if this takes off we can use that to filter the stuff worth talking about…
Looking forward to your thoughts.
