Reportage, an upcoming iPhone/Twitter application (3)
May 24th, 2009 · by Heri · Mobile, entrepreneurship
Fred Brunel has a teaser and an introduction about Reportage on his blog
Reportage works with the way you already tend to use Twitter; by firstly, scanning for the avatar of people you care most about and then browsing for second tier interest people.
We’ve leveraged the ability of your brain to quickly recognize faces, especially on precious mobile screen real estate that’s unsuited to scanning a long timeline.
Reportage focuses on people. Instead of having a single timeline, Reportage shows you the most recent activity in a wall of avatars. Then, you can cherry pick who you want to listen to first — pretty much like with the tuner of a radio receiver.
Martin Dufort and Fred Brunel are also doing interesting developments:
- Twitpocalypse, a “reverse countdown” till Twitter reaches its limits
- There were also featured at the Gazette about the current iPhone scene in Montreal
- They’ve also buzzed about reportage three months before its actual launch
If everything goes well, Reportage should be available very soon on the app store.
Thanks Heri for the coverage.
You can also get a closer look at it’s functionality by downloading a demo loop from Vimeo here:

The quality is better is you download locally and play it with the QuickTime player. Unless someone can tell me how to teach Vimeo not to zoom in on the video.
I trust you would not mind if I put up a part of this on my univeristy blog?
I’ve noticed your website a while ago, just recently did i start noticing it more and more. Very useful information, thank you and keep it coming.
