Stone Design recently announced tweetTV 1.0, a new way to look at Twitter tweets on your iPhone or iPod touch. Watch Twitter like TV. Excellent for both twitter newbies and old timers alike, you create channels out of lists, searches and twitter feeds. A powerful yet deceptively simple way to find, preview and follow the top tweeters on Twitter in categories like: Sports, Arts & Entertainment, Business & Professions, Food & Dining, Health, Living, Politics & Causes, Regional, and Tech & Science.
Designed for both expert and newcomer twitter users alike, tweetTV provides instant access to the most interesting people on Twitter. Using TV as a metaphor, tweetTV lets you find, surf and program channels of tweets.
“tweetTV addresses the biggest challenge facing newcomers to Twitter: how to find Tweeple worth following for their areas of interest,” said Andrew Stone, CEO of Stone Design. “By letting you browse categories and subcategories of topics, and then previewing superlists of the top tweeters in that area, you can quickly find fascinating content tailored to your tastes.”
Leveraging the power of TList’s Superlists, tweetTV lets you find the top tweeters in these main categories: Sports, Arts & Entertainment, Business & Professions, Food & Dining, Health, Living, Politics & Causes, Regional, and Tech & Science. Within each of those topics, there are many sub-topics; for example, in Sports: Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, Fighting, Martial Arts, College Sports, Cricket, Cycling, Equestrian, Extreme Sports, Fishing & Hunting, Football, General, Golf, Hockey, Motorsports, Rugby, Running & Endurance, Skiing and Snowboarding, Soccer, Sports Fans, Tennis and Water Sports.
Even without a Twitter account, tweetTV can display tweets and search channels, so anyone who wants to experience Twitter can get started today.
“tweetTV and Twittelator Pro are the first iPhone apps to integrate and exploit our powerful Superlists,” said Jonathan Glick, CEO of tlist.com. “We are committed to providing the highest quality channels for Twitter users to consume, enabling them to quickly find subject-matter experts of all kinds, and tweetTV lets you access that content in just a few taps.”
