As I continue to roll idea of a theoretical “Twitter Killer” around in my mind, there are a few more nuanced issues that I struggle with. One is, if the base unit of your service is the Post, how do you present that in your Feed feature? At the moment, I think you would serve just an excerpt of the Post that has been updated in your Feed.
But if you also work on the assumption that you would have a collaborative inline editing of a Post, how do you show that in your Feed?
This is a good question.
I think one way would be that you would only show in your Feed only when a new Post was spawned. Meanwhile, you would get a more nuanced Notification of inline editing updates in your Control Panel.
Another issue is — on mobile, how to do you present Posts in the Feed? Specifically, if there’s too much going on, the font size would have to be pretty small. So, that’s something you would have to finesse some.
These are obviously more nuanced problems, but if you were going to make this service a reality, they would have to be addressed.
