Steven Garrity -

It's completely public: http://twitter.com/dburka - I can't see how there would an expectation of privacy.

Daniel Burka -

It's not so much that they're recorded in public, it just seems more like people talking in a crowded room. Somehow, it would seem rude to quote what someone said out loud in a semi-public place like a bar. It just seems to fall in some middle ground to me.

Steven Garrity -

Extending the "crowded room" metaphor, it's like talking in a public crowded room where everything you say is recorded, transcribed, and posted on the web.

Ross Hill -

And just to add a weird mental image to the mix: it's like talking to your friends while simultaneously posting everything you say to them to the web.

Rude? Get back to work? Get off your mobile and pay attention to the conversation you're having?

Ross Hill -

Posting? I didn't write that. I meant to say typing, like on one of those really old and noisy typewriters. The kind you might see in a museum.

My name is Daniel Burka. I'm a web designer living in San Francisco. Currently, I'm the director of design with a startup called Tiny Speck and for several years I was the creative director at Digg. I grew up in PEI, Canada, where I was one of the founders of silverorange. Aside from obsessing about interface design and css selectors, I'm a frequently-falling rock climber, a lazy cyclist, and an often out-of-bounds disc golfer.
