Trust and storytelling

We've had the good fortune of learning from many storytellers who have advised us over the last nine months. Here in San Francisco, Mauree Perry told us to make sure we understood the idea of trust : if the contributor trusts the interviewer, you will get a better story. While earfl doesn't have the exact notion of an interview, we do have the ability to request stories in our group feature .

You can assign a story that you've recorded to be the message a caller hears when they call the group number. We've heard some great feedback from you all about how this personalizes the experiences by having a familiar voice requesting stories.

We think this ties nicely with the idea of trust. We will be pursuing more of this over the next several releases.
