Beautiful article. I think it is very interesting to think of the online expressions of offline patterns.
In the article, it says "[Common areas] shouldn’t be a destination you have to go to, but an optional location where you can pause for a moment of socializing or linger and settle in for a longer hangout."
As it turns out, the entire web paradigm is one of destinations, a page or a site. Any webpage to which you navigate is always a destination.
But what if every page had a community water cooler that you could visit to connect with friends and colleagues and meet new people?
If you like the idea of the online water cooler, you'll love Canopi. Canopi is a browser overlay app available wherever you go on the web. Just use our Chrome extension, the bookmarklet, or visit sites with our SDK installed to see the bouncing icon on the lower right hand corner of the screen. Click the icon, the side bar expands and you can see who is on the page with you. If this is your first time, you need to make an account. You can also read the page-specific chat and initiate conversations with others you connect with on the Canopi.
Let's install a Canopi on the New_ Public home page. It' s easy.
1) Go to https://presencebrowser.com/bookmarklet and drag the Bookmarklet button onto your Bookmarks bar thereby installing the Canopi bookmarklet in your bookmarks tab.
2) Navigate to the New_ Public home page, open the Bookmarks tab.
3) Click the "Canopi" bookmark to enter.
I've already put a couple messages for you on the Canopi.
Feel free to respond there on the Canopi or even send me a friend request.
P.s., you may have wondered what I was speaking about when I was saying "above the web page." This is an aspect of what I have been speaking about.
I’m intrigued by the possibility of online “water cooler” locations as a way of creating a community over a specific search “destination “. In doing so, how do you maintain a relational and neutral approach when hate speech and misinformation occur?
Interesting concept. However, in my opinion, the design of social tools for the vocal few who stick their comments out probably need to rethink the strategy of how their value to these social extroverts can bring about value to the silent majority of visitors. Maybe truth validation, or profile highlights could be more useful as we should learn from the failings of the social media platform giants.

Lead the way, Daveed. :)
