Talko looks like a solution to the problem that iOS 8's Messages has already solved<article>
<section class="page">
<p>Oh dear. On Tuesday, software giant Ray Ozzie launched Talko, an app that promises to “save the telephone call”—and basically copies Apple’s iOS 8 Messages feature in the process.</p><p>On the surface, Talko is a wonderful app. Think of it as Slack or HipChat or an AOL chat room, with group texting, the ability to record voice, share location, and even photos. Talko’s team wrapped it all up within Apple’s pristine iOS 8 design motif, sprinkled a bit of fairy dust on it, and unveiled it with broad smiles to a gullible tech press.</p><p>Because that’s what you do when you have a Really Big Deal—especially a company backed by such names as Marc Andreessen or Greylock Capital. You put legendary software giant Ray Ozzie out in front of
The New York Times,
USA Today, The Verge, the Associated Press, and even Steven Levy’s new tech site at Medium—the list goes on and on. And although everyone who ever used it despised Ozzie’s first product, Lotus Notes, Ozzie still commands respect. And he’s a nice guy, to boot.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2687263/talko-looks-like-a-solution-to-the-problem-that-ios-8s-messages-has-already-solved.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
