2013-04-04
bones are communication devices and we spend all day long messaging but in today's appt centric world messaging is treated like just another app so that means that all day long when you're messaging you're constantly switching back and forth between apps and and that can be annoying and we think that that it should be better you know we all want to talk to people not apps so we came up with this idea that we call chat heads and the idea is really simple so let's say a friend messages you in this case it's going to be shrap he'll he'll pop up and it's going well and and you can just tap on a space and bring up the his conversation and without losing any context of what you're doing on in the app behind and this is what this can stay there in any app that you're in so let's say you're playing a game then and you want to tell your friend about it now that's easy if you're if you're looking at a photo and you want to reach out to someone immediately now you can do that no problem chat heads give you this immediate personal connection to the people you care about so now let's say another message comes in this time it's going to be from Cheryl now you get to and you can easily switch between them you can close them and they collapse into this nice little pile on the side of the screens they're not taking up much room you can move them around to find the right place where you want them to be that's a lot of fun and and then the most fun of all when you're done with them you just throw them away at the bottom BAM all right now chat heads work with both your facebook messages and your SMS is on on your android phone so we think that chat heads are this great personal way to do messaging you
