Every single person I know who used Wave thought the character-by-character thing was terrible and wanted it turned off. A few of them actually stopped using it as soon as they realized it did this since they didn't want to broadcast half-formed thoughts to the world.
- moultano 16y agoI'm not saying it was the right decision, but the thesis that they didn't think about it because they're engineers just isn't true.
- benno 16y agoBroadcasting half-formed thoughts can be desirable; we do it everyday when talking face-to-face.
- mattmanser 16y agoTyping/reading is a very different experience to speaking/hearing. I might type something that comes across as unnecessarily harsh, which if I said it would not, because of the tone of voice and posture I took. The timelag of allowing me to reread to see if my statement can be misconstrued is far more important in writing.
