Cowbird is a digital platform for storytellers created by Jonathan Harris – and one that seeks to stand out from the ephemeral text-message style favored by other social media platforms.
James Hilton: “In a world where you can find 24,800 YouTube videos of ‘cats flushing toilets,’ it’s nice to know that some small part of the World Wide Web still feels … intimate. Cowbird explains humanity’s sagas through simple human stories. It’s
also a radical experiment in mass participatory journalism. It’s for people interested in a slower kind of storytelling. Creator Jonathan Harris describes it as being two things: a way to keep a beautiful, rich diary of your life, and a way to help document the major saga that shapes our world today. Today, Cowbird is still very small and humble, but it has a big vision.”
