Today we are happy to announce a small change in the default look and feel of the Echo Stream. Reply nodes are now broken out with a different background color.

This visual tweak is designed to more clearly communicate the ‘Shallow Threading’ model we use in Echo. Each ‘Root’ comment is a potential conversation starter and, when combined with it’s replies, create a conversation cluster. If enough replies pour into the comment, a Whirlpool is formed.
As always, your feedback is welcome and appreciated.
