Tellagami -- Instant Storytelling -- Check It Out

A long-time colleague in the digital media/music world, Sophia Kim, just reached out to me after several years and after reading my latest guest post in TechCrunch (a nice side benefit of guest posting, by the way, is hearing from some with whom you have lost touch).  Among other things, Sophia spent a few years at Vivendi after its acquisition of Michael Robertson's MP3.com.  In any event, Sophia founded, and is CEO of, a new company, Tellagami, focused on "instant storytelling."

"Instant storytelling"?  What is that you say?

The best way to understand it is by clicking this link -- which is the "Minigami" (mini story) that Sophia sent me in the first place.  You will "get" it immediately.  And, it is fun ... very fun.  I immediately sent a few "Minigamis" to my kids.

Not sure precisely what the business model is -- Sophia, please expand upon that in the comments to this post.  And, it would be nice to have some more choices in avatars.  I also would suggest an embed option for the "gamis" (I wanted to embed it into this post, in fact).  Nonetheless, Tellagami is an intriguing bit of whimsy.  I can also see them as being addictive and viral.

Good stuff Sophia. Peter Csathy's Digital Media Update
