Considering the backlash against Slack [0], it’ll be interesting to see if Messenger’s model of more “atomic” conversations will create less interruptions. Slack (much like IRC) really contributes to an expectation of continuous conversation throughout the day/night (although not all people deal with it that way). In comparison, Messenger (and other chat apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, etc.) seem to be more designed to…

Bad idea. Consider how much time people/employees waste on Facebook every day. What company would encourage their users to login to Facebook during work hours? The notifications will send them to the news feed, which becomes a black hole the moment one starts scrolling down the page Facebook This massive social network deserves a mention on its own. This makes up 7% of the websites accessed at work and is a major con…

Isn't this a different feed from your personal account?

But still, I understand how it could encourage checking your Facebook account even more.

"They let you do it" is not consent, it's the absence of fighting back. A woman does not have to physically fight her attacker for it to be assault. Consider the phrasing "they let you do it if you hold a gun to their head".

Apparently you have difficulty reasoning objectively about this issue. Let's agree to disagree and move on with life. For you it's sexual assault because you imagine him attacking women without any warning while I on the other hand have no reason to believe that he isn't escalating sexually in a normal way, leaving room for women to say no or move a step back to signal a no. Edit: When I think about it then I must be…

In related news, here's a story I just saw about multiple women accusing him of sexual assault http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation-world/ct-women-trump... I mean, in case the previous public stories about his rape accusations, his use of his position at beauty pageants to go ogle naked women when they couldn't do anything about it, and his general tendency to abuse the power of his wealth and business roles wherever possible didn't seem relevant enough for you.

I don't know. I didn't look at the design closely. I stay away from Facebook as much as possible. The more I stay away, the more things I get done in life.

They have a strong incentive to keep people on their site for as long as possible and they are extremely good at it, so I think it's a huge mistake for companies to send employees anywhere near it.
