real-time interactions
This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
real-time interactions are the display of interactions on a view of a post (typically on its permalink) as they are received by the post (presumably via webmention), without needing any explicit user reloading, refreshing, or any other tapping/clicking etc.
Typical real-time interactions include:
- real-time likes (favorites)
- real-time reposts (reshares/retweets)
- real-time comments

Silo Examples
Real-time interactions are a silo innovation.
Facebook was perhaps the first silo to implement real-time interactions since 2012(?) at least, on both post permalinks, and sometimes on posts in a stream or in a collection. In particular, both:
Twitter, as of their mid-2014 front-end redesign, now supports (sometimes) showing real-time interactions on tweet permalinks:
- real-time likes (favorites in particular - seen once 2014-10-21, but then not when window wasn't frontmost, nor when re-activated)
- real-time comments (@-replies - seen previously)
Possibly:
- real-time reposts (retweets in particular - presumably since their display is very similar to favorites, yet a retweet on an item that showed a real-time favorite, did not itself show up).
