Sat, 05 Feb 2011 05:15:00 -0800 Nice. New app delivers longform nonfiction/journalism: Welcome The Atavist http://1001tales.posterous.com/nice-new-app-delivers-longform-nonfictionjour http://1001tales.posterous.com/nice-new-app-delivers-longform-nonfictionjour
Welcome to The Atavist

Description from the site (I'm downloading now!):

"About us:

The Atavist is a boutique publishing house producing original nonfiction stories for digital, mobile reading devices. We like to think of Atavist pieces as a new genre of nonfiction, a digital form that lies in the space between long narrative magazine articles and traditional books and e-books. Publishing them digitally and offering them individually — a bit like music singles in iTunes — allows us to present stories longer and in more depth than typical magazines, less expensive and more dynamic than traditional books.

Most importantly, it gives us new ways to tell some inventive, captivating, cinematic journalism — and new ways for you to experience it.

The stories: All of our stories are researched, reported and crafted by experienced long-form reporters and writers who’ve spent months chasing them down. The topics may vary, but every Atavist story will be a narrative — around a crime, a scientific mystery, an adventure, or any other human drama — with characters and events. Each piece is laced with photography, sound, and video, where appropriate. Each piece will be edited and fact-checked. But Atavist stories aren’t static: Some may evolve in response to our readers, or simply expand and change as new facts come to light. Some may even involve the readers in the story itself.

The medium: Atavist stories are entirely digital creations — no glossy paper, no hard cover. That allows us to do some things we couldn’t otherwise, like including a free audiobook version of every one (you’ll be able to flip back and forth between text and audio, and the story will keep your place). In addition to each story’s unique collection of video and other media, it’ll have what we call inline content: maps, timelines, character lists, primary documents, and links. You can turn on the inline content to find out what’s behind the story, or leave it off to read completely distraction-free...."

Tue, 18 Jan 2011 06:12:12 -0800 Cool. iPhone App WHAIWHAI creates guidebook games for tourists - 'play the storyline through the city' http://1001tales.posterous.com/cool-iphone-app-whaiwhai-creates-guidebook-ga http://1001tales.posterous.com/cool-iphone-app-whaiwhai-creates-guidebook-ga

Any city can become the setting for an adventure where you are the hero. Discover original tales and solve enigmas as you explore the city in a game scenario. Begin your personal itinerary whenever you wish and arrange it however you like. Our guides are unconventional: they are collections of jumbled short stories that become readable one at a time as you solve enigmas and send your answers via text message. Each city has a unique character. That’s why each guidebook tells a different tale, through a collection of short stories about its most fascinating places. The narrative plunges you into the city’s ambience, while the individual short stories are the keys to discovering it and learning about it. With WHAIWHAI, you’ll move away from the beaten tourist track and go where the city’s more unfamiliar spirit is hidden. You can start your experience at any time. You can play alone or in a group, in the city or even from the comfort of your own home with new sofa mode....
