Overview
Certain aspects of time such as 1) typing speed, 2) time between message postings and 3) age of message are not visible in text-based conversations because there are no common representations to know how old a message is. Visualization can reveal the temporal patterns of messages in a conversation. This paper discusses an approach that visualizes the passage of time in a conversation using a plant as a metaphoric representation.
