“Every platform shift leads to new forms of communication,
driven by our desire to connect and interact in richer ways,” said
Adam Cahan, Senior Vice President of Video, Design, and Emerging
Products. “We wanted to create a new way to communicate, blending
the simplicity of texting with the emotion and immediacy of live
video, to make your experience spontaneous and real.”
Yahoo Livetext is a new way to stay in touch - it’s
non-intrusive, quick and real-time - yet also fleeting, just like
real-life conversations. Interactions, from a goofy smile, to an
eye roll and a sigh, mean ‘Lol’ isn’t needed to ensure the meaning
of a text message - as real-time reactions are placed at the center
of the conversation.
We’ve been rolling out Yahoo Livetext globally, beginning with
Hong Kong, Taiwan and Ireland. Tomorrow (July 30) Yahoo Livetext
will be available in the App Store and Google Play Store in five
new countries - U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany and France.
