The\nauthors of this paper are affiliated with the University of Washington. This\npaper was published in CHI during 2012. They provided a framework for\nlistening, created a system that helped utilize this framework, and then they\ntested their system through a few different scenarios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\nbelieve one major improvement to the system would be to add the emoticons which\nthe authors did reference as a possible option when they were creating their system.\nI think this should be used in conjunction with their current implementation.\nThere is a famous stat based on Professor Mehrabian\u2019s study that suggests\napproximately 93% of communication is nonverbal. Emoticons are similar in\nsentiment to an in-person nonverbal gesture and could help provide better\ncontext, tone, and attitude for a person\u2019s content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One\ndifficult thing with the system is gauging the effectiveness of a user\u2019s\ncomment about a section. The system had the functionality to \u201clike\u201d a comment\nwhich the original user could utilize to approve or disapprove the comment.\nThis would be based on if the user feels that the feedback correctly represents\ntheir original intent. Here, there is a certain level of empathy that is\nrequired for users to properly assess sections written by the original author. An\neven better aspect of this functionality is that an original comment can be\naugmented and expanded even if it is not from the original author. The author\ncan just the same approve of the new ideals that a second layer users suggests.\nThis can lead to synergy and a brainstorming session. For larger projects, this\ncan speed up the process of mapping out and blueprinting the future of such\nprojects. It is important to judge this scenario by scenario, having a\nreasonable proportion of users that does not lead to a bottleneck. Analogously,\nthis could be like having too many threads in a parallel computing program for\nthe load that is available. This leads to ineffectiveness and less threads\ncould prove to be more useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This\nwas an interesting read that made me think about text-based conversations at\nlarge. Active listening is depreciated and changes the way conversations ensue.\nOne important thing to consider is if talking with feedback is the ultimate and\nonly means which we want to communicate. Although text based conversations have\ntheir drawbacks, there are also many benefits and reasons why people like its\ncurrent state. I do believe certain text based conversations or environments can\nbenefit from the paper, but I do not think it should be applied to all online\nenvironments. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
