==About Figment==
Inspired by the popularity of the Japanese cell phone novel, Dana Goodyear, poet and journalist, and Jacob Lewis, former managing editor of ''The New Yorker'', created Figment as a platform on which young adults can share their writing and interact with other writers. Figment spent several months in beta, and officially launched on December 6, 2010, gaining over 10,000 users the first week. Users can "publish" and access short stories, poetry, lyrics, essays, and novels either on their computers or with their mobile phones. An app is currently in development.〔url=http://figment.com/topics/364207-An-Elaboration-on-Mobile-Issues〕 Users are able to review, "heart", react and comment on works by other users. Over 300,000 accounts and 700,000 books have been created. Figment's user base is mainly teens, but there is a significant amount of older writers registered on the site. Those under 13 may not register.
Figment has been featured in ''The New York Times'', ''The L.A. Times'', and ''The Today Show''.
