Collaborative Plato Post: Adding my Two Cents

medium.com

    Going off of Lisa's last post and to add to it, to create a good social website one item or bullet point that I think could be included at the bottom of her summary is that a good social website: creates a space for people to dialog.
    Medium.com does a good job at this allowing users to insert comments at the line or paragraph of interest instead of a long drawn out comment section at the bottom of the article. This facilitates better discussion which according to Plato is the whole end of writing and reading.

    The structural design of a website can either promote or inhibit this type of social interaction and thus a good social website would promote it by making it easy to contribute to the conversation.
