Interesting that there isn't a social media product with DMs as first class citizens. Messengers don't count since they're all just marginally rethought SMS.

The kind I'm thinking of would treat conversations as sort of indefinitely extended, and give you views of say frequency, intermittency, burstiness, links shared in context, themes talked about... not in an aspie analytics way, but as a way to maintain cumulative way

Huh, I guess I'm thinking of a very specific kind of DM... the kind that's extended indefinitely, and about chatting rather than transactional stuff. So not about one-time coordination needs etc. Those can happen, but should quickly sink into invisibility.

My twitter DM list is a mess to process, since all sorts of low-value/low-importance 2-message threads are in chrono sequence creating noise in my smaller set of 10-12 low-frequency conversations... so I sometimes delay replying to one of the important ones and it gets buried

I'd like to sort, classify, pin etc.

email evolved a whole bunch of such affordances, but around the discrete message meant to be shared, forwarded, filed etc. This won't work with DMs but similar level of sophistication. Unit is the infinite stream.

1:1s are my preferred mode... group DMs very occasionally work for me, but really at n>2 I prefer something like a slack channel or a public stream rather than DM mode
