TweetNewz's Blog

We would like to introduce you to TweetNewz Desktop, a news aggregator, desktop ticker, and Twitter client, that keeps readers connected to the news and content they love.  TweetNewz Desktop empowers users by integrating Twitter social commentary with streaming news.  It delivers and displays articles in news-ticker fashion directly on the reader’s computer desktop.  Within each article lies the integrated Twitter functionality (powered by BackType), featuring a Tweet This button which enables users to instantly post tweets about blogs, articles and events to Twitter and view Twitter social commentary around their favorite news.  Through this innovative blend of technology, users’ stories and commentary can become as viral as Twitter itself.

We officially launched the Beta version of TweetNewz Desktop on June 9, 2009.  Our focus on integrating streaming news with your Twitter account has made Twitter and news enthusiasts stand up and take notice.  Although there are many twitter clients in the market today, few apps enable you to passively stay up to date with the content you love like TweetNewz Desktop. You can stay current while surfing the web at home or in the office.  If you see an article that sparks your interest, tweet about it, and engage in social commentary with friends, family, and colleagues.  If you are too busy, simply let the ticker scroll by; it will be back.  While other apps require your full attention, TweetNewz Desktop was designed to seamlessly fit into your desktop computer screen, empowering you by giving you the option to choose a convenient time to view an article.

From all of us on the TweetNewz design team, it has been a very exciting week, and we hope your experience with the application has met all your expectations. We are currently working on some new features and designs for the ticker, based off your feedback.  Thank you for your suggestions, we take them very seriously, and want to give you the best experience possible.  So go ahead, keep tweeting with TweetNewz and make your social commentary as viral as Twitter itself!

Some of the main features and benefits include:

• An elegantly designed ticker that docks on any side of your desktop
