Some of the best stories I’ve ever told have been over text.

And consuming it on a device in your hand, being able to stretch conversations for days and respond on a whim, adds to the spontaneity of it all. When you consider how much we enjoy texting each other, it’s no wonder that someone would bring the idea of storytelling-by-text to its logical conclusion. That happened this week with the launch of Talk Show - a new app that lets you “text in public”.
