Public has an interesting concept. It brings together live broadcasts and group participation in a chat format. 9to5Mac posted this quote from the app’s creator, Avner Ronen, Boxee founder:
Public, which launched with an iPhone app and website Friday, can best be described as group chats with an audience. A few active participants chat with each other on a topic, be it “Game of Thrones,” a sports team or “Black Arts & Literature.” All these discussions happen in public, allowing anyone to follow them in real-time or read up on them later.
