Chronological

Referenced by: Digital Gardens, Freeform vs Chronological Dichotomy, The Small Web

A collection of information that is tied to its creation or edit date

Part of the Freeform vs Chronological Dichotomy

Anything with a "timeline" or "feed" is considered chronological

  • Even if there's algorithmic sortings that take things other than creation or edit date into account!

Chronological displays are less suitable as stores of knowledge (Digital Gardens)

Social media overuses timelines and feeds

RSS feeds work really well with this form of content
