I get a kick out of listening to comedian Avi Liberman, who has been concerned that his tax preparer might be too aggressive. “Avi, did you go to China last year?” his tax preparer asked. “No, I haven’t been to China,” Avi replied. “You ever eat Chinese food?” was the next question. “Yeah,” Avi replied. “That’ll work,” his preparer said. “Now, do you have any pets that talk, like a parrot?” Avi was asked. “No, I don’t,” Avi replied. Too bad, it seems his tax preparer might have claimed it as a dependant.

Lieberman believes many social media platforms are missing a feature that would let users expand outside their network and let strangers meet to talk about topics of mutual interest.
“A lot of that was just missing from everything that was called social media,” Lieberman said. “And I realized that this is a problem that needed to be solved.”
The solution, Lieberman decided, is an app he called Pattr. Designed for all ages, Pattr is a social media app based solely on three kinds of phone conversations: group calls; public squares, where users can meet and converse with strangers who have similar interests; and one-on-one phone calls.
