New stories to tell...

That's what the world was waiting for.....no this is not going to be another rant about args. After Perplexcity died, many people were waiting, what the Adrian and Dan Hon are up to next.

And now the time has come. Their company Six To Start together with Penguin Books started their new project. The first story has been nothing less than awesome. This kind of storytelling, enriched by web tools like Google Maps, surely is going to be the way we're reading books in the not-so-distant future. Personally, I don't like Ebooks. Ok, it's a really fast way of getting your information. But the delivery is one thing. It just does not feel right without real paper and I'm spending way too much time before computer screens anyway.

However, this interactive storytelling is going way beyond traditional Ebooks and I quickly got caught up in it. Unfortunately, the story has been way too short. The second story has been revealed today and seems to unfold in a much more ARG-ish style using blogs and twitter entries updated during this week. Well, I'm very anxiously looking forward to it.
