I'm not sure whether this post will be here tomorrow so I'll quote it at some length: "izzzzi is an experiment which might be called "slow social media" where we are exploring a multitude of constraints imposed on the standard mechanism of people making posts:

  • posts are collected into a digest once a day.
  • posts from yesterday are deleted, forever, every day.
  • posts are a draft and can be edited until the moment that yesterday is deleted and tomorrow becomes today.
  • posts are only visible between people who "add" one another ("mutual follows").

it's become a sort of collaborative daily newspaper written by friends. on the surface the parameters feel antithetical: it's ephemeral, it only changes daily, hardly anyone sees it. this is precisely what makes it interesting." It's one of these things that may flare up for a bit and then disappear. Like its posts. Via Ed Summers.
