Nice idea coming to my mind reading your problem: time based growing circle visibility

The person's close cycle is seeing the post first, then his team, then sub-org, until everyone has it on the news feed.

Poster can choose to pause/stop the growth. Peiple getting the link are able to view all details, but do not immidiatelly have it on their timeline.

View on HN

I like this idea. It maps nicely to the concept of ‘andon cord’ applied to software engineering.

If an engineer has an issue, pull the cord to broadcast to someone on your team. Then your entire team. Then a sister team. Then eventually to everyone in your org.

Maybe even the initial message only gets sent out after a reasonable amount of minutes, in case the engineer wants to rescind the call for help.

Interesting idea.

Thanks for the input!
