Hey there PH, here's our story. Ari Gold and I used to exchange emails every day about sports, politics and pop culture. We lamented the fact that there was no simple, compelling way to publish these conversations. We thought we were weird but then we saw some of our favorite writers like Bill Simmons & Malcolm Gladwell plus Sam Harris & Glenn Greenwald were doing just that: publishing email exchanges as content on their site.
So we built RA to make it easy for you to publish this content (no cutting & pasting long email chains or transcribing in person interviews) and allow your readers to follow along like a fly on the wall. Participation is (like an email chain) asynchronous, so no one has to block off time or coordinate schedules like you would for a podcast or a live chat. It's an easier, better way to publish interviews, panels and debates.
I've personally used ReplyAll to publish interviews with Mark Cuban and YCs Sam Altman, discuss startup depression with Brad Feld and debate marijuana legalization with David Frum.
Happy to answer questions about product, team, business model and conversationalists who inspire us!
I love what I've seen of ReplyAll on TechCrunch and elsewhere. It's finally a new way to experience conversations. Can you guys plug into things like Tumblr and Wordpress easily?
@weinberg81 Hey thanks Dave. Yes, ReplyAll embeds across platforms! Ultimately, we're going to build specific plug-ins for each of the platforms you mentioned.
Looks promising and not even similar to the Intercom. Loved Sam Altman interview and loved it even more when found out that it's real :-) Zach, how can I reach you by e-mail, I have a proposal I want to share? @zachabramowitz
@yakovkarda really appreciate the kind words! Btw, since you mentioned it, I think reality is what gets lost in the typical, predetermined interviews where all the questions are sent and answered in advance. Video, audio and in person interviews don't take place that way, why should text?
And feel free to email me zach at replyall.me
@zachabramowitz I totally agree with you, and that's one of the reasons why "normal" interviews are so 90s now :-) Personally, I don't like podcasts (needs too much of a focus) and real time text sounds like a wonderful thing! Will e-mail you now!
