About the Product

TapTalk is a plug-in for mobile webpages that sets people talking about what they have read. Users can now enjoy an enhanced news reading experience- by participating in conversations while having weigh-in from experts.

We wanted to solve the problem of millennial users who are increasingly skeptical and detached with the way news is presented, and create an intuitive and alternative platform for them to participate and create conversations.

Our plug-in allows users to comment on specific paragraphs of a news article, as well as filter out toxic comments to reduce clutter. A separate tab for experts in the related field can value-add and help the reader gain further insights on the issue discussed in the article.
