Wow I’m typing on my phone and I can’t see anything. I suppose if I don’t keep typing this will be all read I mean deleted. Oh well. Such is life. It reminds me of free writing. It is a form of free writing that is enforced I guess that’s useful. For things like writers block and what not.

But what am I to say? Nice product? I guess it’s a cool proof of concept. But I don’t see myself using it. It is more like a neat little toy, almost like performance art.

It is a new form of medium, where the rules are enforced onyoi. I suppose there are other such forms of modes. Does this bring with it anything u inquest and of lasting value? Or is it mostly single player entertainment?

I wonder if something similar can be done for multiplayer chat. Text that mimics actual social interaction in a new way is interesting. Such as IRC and twitter. Maybe even communicating with gifs.

Only time will tell what will last. Normal text yes, movies sure.

I find myself speeding up more for the 3’ deadline

Something's seriously wrong with your browser/encoding.

It seems all apostrophes in your message are replaced by ’ (a with hat, euro symbol, TM symbol).

Those are Unicode 'curly' quotation marks in UTF-8 encoded as CP-1252. More information here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2477452/%C3%A2%E2%82%AC-...
