[Flow and stock are the cutoffs of whether most of the information is one time reference and a place to drift away, or whether it is organized, maintained, and repeated reference. The Synchronous and Asynchronous cutoff is highly correlated, but not equal. Facebook 2017-10-13
-
Where information is referenced only once and flows away.
-
A place where information is repeatedly referenced and organized
- Chat, a place for synchronous communication, is a typical flow
- But asynchronous mail also flows quite well
- Most tools do not have Permalink. to share with others for past emails
- No permalinks, so cannot indication “I told you in this email” for past emails
-
Scrapbox is a tool that can be used synchronously, but is very much a stocking place
-
Stock is passage of time.
