Textcast

Textcast is like texting but instead of messaging one person, you send a message to your channel, which gets broadcasted to all its followers. You can use it to announce stuff: You can use it to blog to selected audience: See below for a couple of mine, feel free to request invite (by default all Textcasts are private unless you know the link) Ethan loves crazy apps https://bnc.lt/m/0msWkZWGJm iOS Development https://bnc.lt/m/Ln9ZDJAeHm Ever since I started running Ethan https://www.producthunt.com/tech..., I have naturally been thinking a lot about what it means to be private and intimate online. I saw something very special in private messaging, which broadcasting (such as blogging and social networks) can't easily replicate. I wanted a way to express myself like blogging while keeping the intimacy of messaging, and that's Textcast. It's extremely private, yet you can broadcast your message in a controlled manner. I wanted to post here first because I wanted to hear what you guys think, what you want to use it for, etc. so I can make it better. Please share your thoughts. I am here all day and will answer all questions, please ask me anything, thanks!

I just created my first textcast to share Rad iOS Apps. @gliechtenstein - I'm always super interested to see what you're working on since you launched the unusual, viral hit, Ethan. Btw, why are you building apps? Is this your full-time thing or do you have another job?

Dope idea Ethan. one suggestion - when someone shares their cast (like Ryan did above) it tells me to 'get the app' (which I already have). Since I already have the app, it would be useful to see a code I can manually input to subscribe to his casts

I've been using text casts for a few weeks now and it's pretty sweet, great for sharing things with friend groups EDIT: if anyone wants to follow my text cast about apps: https://bnc.lt/m/P162MMAeCn

I'm liking this. I think of it as what Twitter was back in the day. I'm making a TextCast for my @blab show. Behind the scenes at PitchCraft bnc.lt/m/AxzEeuGiCn

Could this be used to build text message distribution lists?
