Today we added a new read later feature to Restream. If you’re browsing through the headlines and you spot something you like but don’t have time to read it, simply click on the read later button (below each post) and save it to read at a later time. To access your read later page, click on the read later link located under your name in the navigation. Enjoy!

Banned Again From Twitter
Thursday, July 1st, 2010Update: Our account is back. Twitter got back to us much quicker than before. Just a few days instead of several weeks. We’ve modified @ReStreamAlerts to send out updates 4 times a day instead of hourly. Hopefully this change and a few others currently in the works will prevent the suspension bot from hitting us.
ReStream Quick Tip: Add Twitter Favorites, Receive More Relevant Recommendations
Thursday, April 15th, 2010Add your Twitter favorites to ReStream to receive better content recommendations. ReStream uses what you’ve favorited in the past as a predictor to what you like going forward. This helps improve the accuracy of the recommendation system.
Add Twitter Favorites
- Log into ReStream
- Go to your recommended reading page (click on your name in the top navigation)
- Click on “Favorite Tweets” in the right navigation
This will import your last 500 tweets into ReStream – assuming you have that many. Once complete, allow a few minutes, your Twitter favorites will be used to improve our content recommendations to you.
How to Share the Tweets You Favorite
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Make the most of the tweets you favorite by making them easier to browse and share.
One of the most overlooked features of Twitter is Twitter favorites. You can favorite any post in Twitter that you like or you want to reference at a later date. The problem with Twitter favorites is the more you use them, the harder it is to reference them later. You can only scroll through them in a descending date order.
Adding Value to Twitter Favorites Through Filtering
Friday, March 26th, 2010Favoriting tweets is one of the most under-used features of Twitter but one of the most valuable. I use Twitter favorites for bookmarking content. If there’s a link I like or some content I want to read, I favorite it so I can reference it later. Unfortunately, the more you use favorites as bookmarks the harder it is to use.
The downside to Twitter favorites is that you can only look through them in the order that you saved them, one page at a time. This makes all that great content you favorited very difficult to reference. To fix this, I’ve added some new filtering features on ReStream.me.
Filtering Twitter Favorites
Yesterday, I added two new filters to Twitter favorites: filter by tag and filter by author. Once you import your favorites, you can select any of your top 15 tags or top 10 authors to find related favorites. You can also view any page of favorites so jumping to any favorite is much easier.
To get started, log into ReStream.me using Twitter. Import your favorites (step 3 in the sign up process) and go to your recommendations page. Once there, click on “favorite tweets” in the navigation to go to your Twitter favorites. Happy filtering!
