The guestbook and the stomping feet
The guestbook becomes the semi-public way to talk. The notification icon with the stomping feet makes hearts pound.
The guestbook became by far the most popular way to communicate on LunarStorm, and the notification icon with the stomping feet made your heart skip an extra beat.
- ”The downside of a chat conversation is that it happens right now.” The guestbook solved that.
- Semi-public: your classmates could read what people wrote to each other (Arvika 2024).
- 2002: ten guestbook posts per second (the Swedish internet magazine Internetworld). 2004: 53 per second (the front page).
