About a year ago, Canadian developers provide the public with its Tweetmag application. Even since the first screenshots of the application dribble.comVery many interested Tweetmag. A lot of English-language sites have expressed more than praise evaluation of this application, and even Khoi Vinh, former director of the Department of Design New York Times, I wrote an article wherein the divided experience with Tweetmag.
I am surprised that the vast information on this application is almost no Russian-speaking Internet. Perhaps this lack of attention to Tweetmag due to the fact that the first version did not support the Russian language, but this omission was quickly corrected.
Many compare Tweetmag with the already-familiar FlipboardOffering a social concept of the magazine, but a direct comparison is not correct. In fact, based on the idea of a magazine layout articles Flipborad, Canadians have decided to completely open the possibility of such a concept, focusing on a social network, in this case, Twitter.
I have noticed that with the advent of Tweetmag, I did not become less use of standard application Twitter and RSS reader in The Early Edeition 2. This is primarily due to the fact that Tweetmag tries not to be a substitute for any of the usual you application and acts as a supplement to the usual process of reading the news, making the process more pleasant and more convenient.
Let us consider in detail the application. When you first start you will, as usual, will be prompted to enter your Twitter account, then Tweetmag load your news feeds.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the application only works with tweets that have links, images and videos. Tweets that contain only text, Tweetmag ignore, not to take the bread out of "normal" applications. A quick glance at the app becomes clear that all the attention is devoted to content consumption. I have for a long time can not get together to write something on Twitter and use it for reading news only, so that this state of affairs me more than satisfied.
A quick glance at the app's hard to believe that this is really Twitter. You see the image, video, web pages, but it is necessary to hold your finger on any article, all fall into place: a picture or video will turn and you will see the tweet in the same form, to which all become accustomed.
Initially at your disposal there is only your own tweet magazine from those whom you follow. If you want to add new ones, for example, by dividing them into categories, you can use application guidelines, or simply drag the icon you are interested in person on the "shelf" where These logs are stored.
In my opinion it is right, because you do not necessarily want to follofit absolutely everyone who you interesting. If you use the search, you can add a journal of the search results. For example, if you search for «Design», you can add general log containing all search results for a given criteria or individual users satisfying request.
The main advantage of Tweetmag before Flipboard is that you have the opportunity to choose the form in which view references in the form of the original web page, or optimized, no extra banners, advertisements and others.
Another nice feature is the support Readability service, with which you can save articles for reading offline.
Unfortunately, it was not without flaws. Tweetmag can boast stable operation. Many users are unhappy with periodic departures application. It does not happen often, but all spoils the impression. Developers promise Tweetmag major update in early 2012, so we can hope that the stability of the work will improve and perhaps there will be any more exciting features.
