For this week I was most interested in the interface of Discord and how it keeps the user addicted to the discussion going on between users. Discord does this by indicating people are currently talking on a channel by having a white semi circle next to channels you have not read up on. For channels that have consistent discussion this can be rather addicting as the white semi circle will constantly reappear reminding you that there is new chat to be read. Also, while typing in a channel it will state which users are currently typing. This is to help keep discussion going as the user knows someone is reading and conducting a response. Sometimes if multiple people are typing at the same time the dialogue will read as Several people are typing. For channels with a lot of discussion going on it can get quite addicting due to the constant updating, however if there are not a lot of users on a channel or not a lot of discussion then the channel is mostly dead till someone starts a discussion.
