Pulling in photos and video makes tweets look better

FeedMagnet pulls in more than just text and links. A Twitter stream by itself can be kind of lame - all plain text - but there is usually a lot of really interesting content in there buried in the links. Photos, videos, news articles, and other content can all be found in plain text tweets. FeedMagnet makes things more interesting by pulling that content in and showing it instead of the plain link.

New: Google News and Twitter Lists

We really weren't kidding when we said we'd be rolling out new features quickly. Two days after launching the beta, we just rolled out two new content sources: Google News and Twitter Lists.

We've also made a few tweaks to your list of Authors and Search Topics. Our goal was to make it easier for you to find and view the content you are pulling in. Let us know what you think!

We're live! Public beta launched today.

We launched the free beta of FeedMagnet to the public today.

This is just beginning. We're working on a ton of new features that we'll be rolling out over the next few months. What we're most interested in at this point is your feedback. Set up some feeds, stick the widget up on your website, and then let us know what you thought of the experience and what features you would like most to see over the coming weeks.

Well hello. Thanks for checking us out.

We're just getting started building FeedMagnet and we're super excited about it. FeedMagnet is a new web app that helps businesses harness social media - and do it in a responsible way. We'll be using this blog to let you know about new features we're rolling out, provide a behind-the-scenes look at our development process, and share some of our ideas about the Web in general.
