Tawkers is a chat application, which allows for publishing a user's text message conversations live or after the fact. The application is created for various devices, but was originally launched as an iPhone app. Tawkers is owned and managed by Tawkers Inc, which was founded in 2011. The company launched a beta of Tawkers as a web application in 2013, before releasing the official version in March 2014. Gizmodo Brazil ranked Tawkers in their list of top iPhone Apps for that particular month. ==Background== Blake Ian is the current CEO and co-founded the company in 2011 in New York City after having the idea of sharing text conversations while he was chatting with a friend about a film over instant messaging.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tawkers-public-chat-messenger/id791417999?mt=8 )〕 In late 2011, after developing the idea, the company received $360,000 in seed funding. Following the development of a beta in 2013, Ian stated to TechCrunch that he believed that celebrities would use the Tawkers platform as a way to engage with fans and also engage conversation on given subjects. The app did just that in the early stages of the beta, with Lee Camp, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, Colin Quinn, singer Eleanor Goldfield, Deepak Chopra and also Howard Rheingold using the app during the early parts of its existence. In 2014, the company announced that it had received $1 million in seed funding from angel investors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/tawkers )〕 In March 2014, Gizmodo Brazil ranked Tawkers in their list of top Apps.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tawkers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
