I recently came across this simple but brilliant image depicting the evolution of online conversations and their increase in variety and volume by Dion Hinchcliffe.
He writes on how conversation models are continuing to evolve on the web and how it will be effecting how we converse and interact.
It is an interesting article as it ties in to how social networking that was based around conversations is now, through mediums such as Twitter and Friendfeed, adding more interaction between people. The personal interaction that was lost in Web 1.0 and started to pick up with the advent of blogs is now, through feeds and mirco-blogging, moving to an even more conversational approach.
It almost reminds one of how sms’s took off. They were first seen as a novelty and then their true potential as conversational tools was realised. Today they are now one of the main forms of conversation used by people.
