This reminds me of an old article by Jakob Nielsen, "Better than Reality" [1], about how the web shouldn't try to emulate reality. Of course, technology has advanced a lot since 1998. But I wonder if his core point is still right. For one thing, at its best, the web is still better than reality in that it can be much more accessible to people with disabilities. Products like this one still run the risk of negating that advantage.

The 'killer app' here would seem to be that you can migrate between conversations and be aware of other people's conversations at the same time, taking advantage of the efforts of evolution to the fullest. Is there a better way that's more inclusive?
