PostPost: A Facebook Newspaper With a Flipboard Feel


Data management and rapid application deployment solutions company TigerLogic has just launched PostPost, a real-time “social newspaper” that’s created from the links, photos and videos your friends share on Facebook.
In essence, what PostPost does is take your FacebookFacebooknewsfeed, but presents it in a way that is more manageable. PostPost also uses the Yolink search API to help you find context and backlinks within your paper.
We should make it clear that this PostPost is not the same product as PostPo.st, a social search engine that offers up results from the people you follow on Twitter and FlickrFlickr.
PostPost resembles the mobile app Pulse and the iPad app Flipboard — the difference being, PostPost is accessible through your web browser.
As more of us use social networks like Facebook and TwitterTwitter to find and share news, the traditional RSS reader is slowly getting replaced with these types of solutions.
On the surface, PostPost isn’t unlike services such as paper.li. Paper.li also just launched Facebook support for its product, but the approach that the two services take is a bit different.
PostPost uses the jQuery Masonry plugin created by David DeSandro. This makes it possible for links, videos and photos imported from the Facebook Open Graph API to be displayed in a way that resembles a more traditional broadsheet newspaper. It also means you can adjust the size of your browser window and the sections will expand or contract as needed.


This also means you can easily switch between “sections” like videos, photos and links. PostPost is planning on adding more sections and sorting options to the service as time goes on.

Wolfram Alpha ...out soon

Wolfram Alpha (also spelled WolframAlpha or Wolfram|Alpha) is an answer-engine developed by the international company Wolfram Research. It is an online service that answers factual queries directly by computing the answer from structured data, instead of providing a list of documents or web pages that might contain the answer. It is currently only available to a few select individuals. It was announced in March 2009 by British physicist Stephen Wolfram, to be released to the public in May 18, 2009.

Anticipating the release?
Here are a few screenshots from Stephen Wolfram's talk
