Tumblr (3.0; @tweetmenews)http://blog.tweetmenews.com/<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp8adydpau1qa0xqbo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><b>New feature</b>: Select your <b>Delivery Preference</b>. After launch, several users wanted to receive news from TweetMeNews from a method other than Twitter’s direct messages. The community spoke and we listened. Users can now select one of three delivery methods, options include:</p> <ul> <li>Direct Messages aka DMs</li> <li>Mentions (@ScreenName story would go here)</li> <li>TweetMeNews Dashboard Only</li> </ul> <p>We’re excited to be able to offer these options a few days after launch and hope you’ll enjoy the update. If you’re already a TweetMeNews user, click the settings link in the upper-right navigation area. If you aren’t yet a member of TweetMeNews, <a title="Join TweetMeNews.com" href="http://tweetmenews.com/">join today</a>!</p> <p>If you have any other methods you’d like to see added, let us know.</p> <p>Brett</p>http://blog.tweetmenews.com/post/176101728http://blog.tweetmenews.com/post/176101728Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:37:00 -0400<p>It has been 20+ hours since TechCrunch’s <a target="_blank" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/author/leena/">Leena Rao</a> broke the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/28/tweetmenews-tries-to-be-a-custom-news-firehose-for-twitter/">news about our launch</a>. Since then we’ve recieved hundereds of valuable suggestions on how TweetMeNews can be improved. The majority of the comments have been focusing around the following areas:</p> <ul> <li>Direct Messages - Not everyone is loving DMs as the main method of delivering stories. </li> <li>Timeliness - News stories older than a few hours are unexceptable to the Twitter community</li> <li>Breaking News - TweetMeNews needs to deliver breaking news stories faster</li> <li>Personalization - Several comments came in asking for the ability to personalize the settings even more</li> <li>Overall Story Quality - Keep raising the bar. Be better than Techmeme in all the news categories</li> </ul> <p>We are going to be working down the list and continuing to make updates based on the comments and requests we recieve. Stay tuned - we’ll be releasing updates soon!</p> <p>- Brett</p>http://blog.tweetmenews.com/post/175167304http://blog.tweetmenews.com/post/175167304Sat, 29 Aug 2009 23:20:12 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp0qoeZlHZ1qa0xqbo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Curious what TweetMeNews looks like a day after joining the site?

The initial service is young and buggy yet full of potential. I hope others enjoy the <a href="http://TweetMeNews.com">TweetMeNews</a> service and suggest ways we can improve the service. Don’t be shy, we’d love to hear your comments on topics including:</p> <p>1. New Categories you want added (auto? celebrity?).</p> <p>2. Sources you wanted added to existing or new categories.</p> <p>3. Anything else that you think we can do better!</p> <p>- Brett</p>http://blog.tweetmenews.com/post/171851347http://blog.tweetmenews.com/post/171851347Wed, 26 Aug 2009 00:16:00 -0400Announcement<p>Thanks for stopping by.
