CellStories Launches

By Marcus Gilmer in Arts & Entertainment on Sep 1, 2009 9:20PM

Ever felt like reading a short story on your phone while traversing the city on the El or bus? Given the way so many people make their commutes with their noses in their phones anyway - not to mention the number of services being added to the subway tunnels - it's not at all out of the question. Now you can thanks to CellStories, a new service from Dan Sinker (founding editor of Punk Planet, journalism teacher at Columbia College, and all-around awesome guy). The service sends a new story to your mobile device each day that you can read at your leisure. Sinker sat down with WBEZ to answer a few questions about the new service.
