I can’t tell if Yahoo’s new messaging app is brilliant or just stupid

Yahoo’s new messaging app wasn’t widely discussed when it first launched earlier this month because, at the time, it was exclusive to Hong Kong and Taiwan, but now that the app has expanded to a handful of Western nations, it’s about time to take a look at it. Known as Livetext, this rather unique approach to messaging focuses on video chats where the audio has been disabled so that users can only communicate through text, and that’s not even the most interesting feature.
