Today is launch day for ReStream.me Mobile. Now you can access the ReStream.me discovery engine from everywhere. Highlight from the new web application include:
ReStream.me Mobile is free. You just need a Twitter account to get started.
ReStream.me Mobile is now live!
ReStream.me Mobile is almost ready for launch. Soon you will have many of the great filtering and sharing features of ReStream.me every where you go.
The ReStream.me mobile web app has been optimized for the iPhone. If you would like to preview this release, please send me an email and I’ll send you a link. If you run into issues using another mobile platform please let me know. I want to make this accessible to everyone but I don’t have other platforms to test on.
Yesterday, I added a new features to ReStream which allows you to search across multiple tags. Now when you go to a tag page.
Example: http://restream.me/tag/inspiration
You can add several tags in the search box.
Example: inspiration, history
Now your search can focus in on the topics you’re looking for.
Result: http://restream.me/tag/inspiration,%20history?time=8
Try it out and let me know what you think.
Over the past week I’ve made several updates to ReStream.me.
One of these updates caused some tagging issues. You may notice some links have several unrelated tags. Please ignore this for now. It will be flushed from the system over the next 24 hours.
Changes:
One of the problems I have with Twitter is staying up-to-date on the latest information being shared. You can’t stay connected 24 hours a day but you don’t want to miss anything either. This is what got me started on the ReStream project.
ReStream is all about finding the best information on Twitter without having to constantly stay connected.
But there is one problem.
I want to be notified when exceptionally great content that highly matches my interests is flying around on Twitter. I’m not always connected to ReStream either which is why I’ve added discovery alerts that send tweets to inform you of this great content.
Tweets are sent from @restream once an hour – no more than 2 tweets – to inform you of the great content that you may have missed. If you’ve added tags to your profile, then there is no need to set anything up. These updates will come to you automatically.
If you don’t want to receive these updates, I’ll be adding a opt-out check box to the profile page where you can turn it off.
Please add your comments below. I’m interested to hear about what you think of this new feature.
I’ve created two new bookmarklets to help you send and favorite pages to Twitter without ever leaving the page you’re on. I built them because they fit how I like to use Twitter and I’d like to share them with you as you may have similar tastes.
There are two things that have always frustrated me when publishing to Twitter.
To use these two bookmarklets all you have to do is the following:
That’s it. Just click on the favorite or bookmark in your browser to use them.
There are 2 different bookmarklets. One for favoriting a page to Twitter and one for posting a tweet. When you favorite a page using Fav-to-Twitter, a tweet is sent from your account and that tweet is also favorited in Twitter.
Please add your comments below with your feedback. Additional features will be coming soon.
A new widget that adds a “popular content” section to any page on your web site is now available for members. This adds a listing of the top 5 pages of your site based the number of page views a page has received. It’s great for recommending other content to visitors that they might be interested in.
Setup
Example:
Now when you go to this page, you will receive a list of your most popular web pages. The list will include up to 5 links and it won’t show a link for the page you’re currently on.
We just published an update that fixes the list of “Top Citizens” information on the dashboard page. When looking at archived dates, visitors visiting after the archived date were being displayed.
