Talkshow App (iOS): Texting in Public

Our lives are becoming increasingly public as each year passes in our post social network world. I hesitate to call it “dangerous,” as privacy options have improved over time, but the implications as a whole are clear. Babies now have their entire lives chronicled on Facebook or Tumblr before they can even speak, sometimes entirely in public view.
Beyond the lens— helicopter parents, eager to attach a GoPro to their kids or even view them on closed circuit television cameras while at work. Talkshow kind of epitomizes that reality, mostly in a dull, impersonal way.
The gist of Talkshow is that it places you right in the middle of a conversation, live, while it’s happening. There’s no need to break the ice, just jump in (after confirming your phone number with the app, otherwise you’re restricted to viewing only) and pick up where the conversation left off. This includes typical exercises like finishing someone else’s story, counting to a certain number, or just chatting about current events.
