Intersection

INTERSECTION

[about]

Typically, traffic signals function as a mediator, allowing pedestrians and cars to avoid interacting with each other. Instead, people gauge right of away from this ubiquitous technology.

Crosswalks are the intersections where cars and pedestrians overlap. Otherwise, the two remain in their own separate channels. Sometimes, this intersection creates a collision.

On Twitter, you can watch as people share these experiences with these intersections--not with those whom they have experienced the intersection but with their followers. Does Twitter serve a similar function as the traffic signals?

By matching the tweets, we create another near collision.
