Slack (or similar) seems to be filling this void. The tap on the shoulder, “hey, did you notice this?”
The problem is, you can have 10-20 people tapping you on the shoulder all at once.
- neutronicus 6y agoYes, and unlike Slack, in-person communication implements a Mutex where someone will see that someone else is talking to you and come back later without requiring any explanation or indeed awareness on your part.
