This is the 3rd service I've seen in the past ~month hosting public text-based conversations. Talkshow and Public (cc @jacksondahl) are a few others. While it's not the largest data point, I wonder where the sudden interest is coming from.
Charlie Deets
@rrhoover @jacksondahl In this case, this not a service. This is a format for hosting curated interviews, more like a podcast. I'll let @gabrielvaldivia explain his thinking behind doing it this way, but he felt the format could help him get more informal and honest conversations out of the interviewees and allow the reader to feel part of the conversation. I do agree, there is a sudden interest in this idea though!

@charliedeets @jacksondahl @gabrielvaldivia I meant "service" in the general sense.

@rrhoover @jacksondahl @gabrielvaldivia cool, just didn't want anyone to feel confused this is a real product. I just woke up ha.
Gabriel Valdivia
@rrhoover yeah I really wanted this to feel a little voyeuristic --as if the reader got a hold of my phone and opened a messaging app to find these conversations. The idea is to talk about these topics in a way that is accessible and familiar so that the content can shine through
Stowe Boyd
But it *could* be a real service, at least in the sense that other people could use your tools to emulate Gabriel's talkturkey @charliedeets @rrhoover @jacksondahl @gabrielvaldivia

Really in love with this execution – the interviews feel real (and I assure you, they are – thanks for having me Gabe!). I'm excited to see what next iterations will be like :D

I was skeptical at first. But I love this format! Does feel very personal. I found myself caught up in reading... for a long time. 😀 When first visiting I think it could be clearer about what's happening, who's being interviewed, who's interviewing. Definitely lots of potential. Will be cool to see more interviews :)

@mscccc Thanks Mike! I agree about the first visit experience.
Alex Vanderzon
Love the idea! Well done guys.
