It was cool stuff, for sure, and I'm glad I got to experience it when it was new. A little extra latency in our online discourse would probably do the modern world some good, not that anyone would go for it.

I've been mulling a "slow conversation platform" but so far my ideas aren't any more novel than Wikipedia with edit delays which just isn't compelling

I've been kicking some ideas around. My favourite so far is that instead of posting immediately, the system comes back to you after half an hour and says "do you still want to post this?". Hopefully any emotion has had a chance to work itself out in the half hour.
Right, and still I was super amazed that I could send a message to someone halfway around the world, and it would arrive there only a couple of days later! Compared to a letter that's really fast!
