Okay, but what about real time search history? That’s not mentioned as a key. feature in the article.

That’s the whole point of not worrying about these lines without sufficient thought.

Being able to query the past instanteously via live chats is vital.

I see live transcripts via iMessage and live chats as a huge benefit — your thoughts in real time, basically, shared externally without energy wasted verbally.

One of my biggest regrets is not pro-actively hitting aim support right before mass account deletion post mortem acquisition by Verizon.

Imagine scrolling back in time to your high school chats— one can easily use that context to go back in time like Mac OS time machine.

Put all of those time stamps in whatever format (t, chat service, message) on a visual calendar and you’ll be able to do much more with your data. Including attachments.



My hope is most of my youthful chats have been forever destroyed. It's not a season I'd like to revisit.


hitting aim support for what? afaik they weren’t holding onto aim chats. tho my memory is fuzzy here
