New look

Our new look went live today – featuring the new logo, and a new lighter layout on the dashboard.

I’ve put more details about how the logo came about through 99designs in a new post over on my blog.

The new layout shown below gives a much clearer space for your tweets, and more flexibility for some of the new features to be added over the coming weeks. These updates will center on allowing you to extract your friending topics and use them elsewhere – like in your blog sidebar. If you have a space you’d love to fill with your friending topics let us know about it.

Good morning

FriendingTopics has a simple objective – to allow you to see an overview of activity on twitter when you don’t have time to read 200 tweets an hour.

Taking the idea behind trending topics and applying it to your network, we produce a new view on recent tweets which highlights active topics, hashtags, and users – all in a sing page load interactive tweetstack.

We’re in private testing right now, but if you’d like to help with testing just tweet @stevenmilne or @friendingtopics and we’ll send you a link. Follow @friendingtopics to find out when we start letting everyone in.
