Get Smartr To Turn Your Twitter Feed Into A Fast-Paced News Feed
February 2, 2011
For many, your Twitter feed can become a pretty big mess, and sifting through it isn't always easy. Smartr is here to remove any spam tweets, like check-ins, and convert your Twitter feed into a fast-paced news feed, complete with previews.
As Scopy is for images, Smartr is for web pages. Each relevant tweet, primarily from companies and company employees, is chosen and the web page is automatically turned into a preview for you. From here on, Smartr works like most RSS feed readers. Get a streamlined look at an article just by tapping on the preview.
Smartr lets you perform the normal Twitter actions: new tweet, reply, and retweet. However, we are focusing on the news aspect, therefore, it seems logical that you can save an article to your Read It Later or Instapaper account, send it via email, post it to your Facebook wall, or share it via Tumblr or Posterous.
Factyle is the company behind other news gathering apps like Sports Stalker, Gossip Stalker, and Bollywood Stalker
Smartr is designed for iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 4.0 or later, and is available as a free download in the App Store.
