Reminds me of Anchor's first iteration, which was more social and conversational. While it might be too early to tell, what topics or types of conversations are you seeing on the platform, @ddebow and team? UPDATE: Me and @pt hosted our first Dialog. Here's the recording.

I have used it every week for past month to host a show with my gym. It is also great when you are talking to your friends about something interesting and want to broadcast it. I love the platform and will keep using it :)

Pros:

+ love how fast and easy it is to get started with anyone to host a show.

Cons:

- Scheduling around to make sure you get the best audience in the door

Great team in a super interesting space. Looking forward to watching the growth and use cases that come out of it.

👋 Hi all! I’m Daniel Debow, and together with @fnthawar and @davidpardy we created the Dialog project. Today, we all complain that social media is toxic. Trolls and polarizing comments divide us. People don’t listen and learn from each other. Human empathy is lost. We wanted to build something better. Something different. So, we created Dialog. Dialog is a community dedicated to live, spoken conversation online. Dialog uses your spoken voice. It's for interactive conversation. It has built-in controls to keep conversations safe. We hope Dialog can facilitate a different social experience online. Dialog is a person-by-person movement - for people who enjoy conversation and learning. Join us today!

I've used Dialog to host a design call with a friend where we just shoot the shit about a product we both use. Unlike a Twitter conversation, it's focused and free-flowing, and doesn't require a lot of setup. Tuning in to Dialog calls is super interesting as an experience because it feels - unless you raise your hand to participate in the call - like you have this inside track to an otherwise private conversation!

My friends and I have thought about starting a podcast forever and never did anything about it. Dialog is the first platform that made us at least take an initial crack at it without making it feel like a mountain of work. This could be the future of podcasting as we know it!

Pros:

Good way to broadcast otherwise "closed" conversations to your network.

Cons:

A little tricky to get setup with a co-host.

I've been using Dialog for 3 months now and love what the team are bringing to the market.

Pros:

Easy to use. Start a dialog in minutes, literally!

Cons:

No RSS feed to connect to podcast networks.

I love this platform that @ddebow, @fnthawar, and team put together. I've hosted over 40 dialog shows already. It's a great addition to my award-winning podcast offering. Check out my dialogs here https://getdialog.am/user/48d024...

We were lucky enough (thanks @ddebow and team) to try out Dialog over the last few months. Used it for a couple of shows with speakers for our True North conference here in Waterloo - the experience for both us and our guests was amazing. It's the fastest way to share a great conversation with your audience, customers, prospects, community - you name it.

Great stuff. Very compelling idea and execution.

I absolutely love this product. I listen on great shows on here, especially the ones that teach young entrepreneurs about different topics of starting and running a business. @ddebow especially has a fantastic show. His cofounder @fnthawar is one of the smartest individuals I know. I know this is going to be a platform that will take off!

I've been using Dialog for the past few weeks as a way to connect with folks in our local UX Research community. We've hosted some really fun conversations that dozens of people have joined to listen in on and participate. Not gonna lie, it was a really special moment when we had our first caller, this really feels like it could be something big 💯

This is a really interesting way to challenge some of the negative elements of social media ... using voice creates an authenticity which is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum to the anonymity social media aliases permit. Interested to see how this develops in future...

Cool product. Clicked the link and jumped on a call with @rrhoover & Parker. How cool's that!? I like the use case of leveraging live audio to further engage with pre-existing content. I.e sports pre-game debate, post Amazon product release discussion, influencer fan engagement. Cool stuff, glad to see it coming out of Toronto! :)

Hi Product Hunters https://getdialog.am Dialog is a place to have real conversations. We're passionate about dialog that entertains, educates, and enriches. The internet has done so much good, but we believe social media has become toxic. We invite you to join our community of spoken conversation - a new way to connect online, as humans. Talk through complex issues, learn, and have fun. Share what you know, bring your friends, meet and learn from new people. I'm excited to see how you'll use Dialog!

Love it.

Pros:

Super easy to use. Fun. Epic!

Cons:

Would love audio download.

Love using Dialog to host our podcast. Super easy to use. Great functionality. Would love a download audio button too!

Long time listener on dialog shows. It’s incredibly fun to listen in to live candid conversations

Awesome! The Twitch for conversations / Marketplace for podcasts

Amazing!

I've gotten very good at writing snarky texts over the years, and as fun as this can be, this really isn't the best way to have a conversation. With Dialog you can jump into a conversation with anyone on just about any topic. Usually we don't agree at the beginning of the convo but I've found that we almost always end up learning a lot from each other by the end. A totally different experience then trying to debate someone on Twitter.

Pros:

Can actually talk to real people!

Cons:

Nerve wracking to start your first Dialog
