things@Kureno launched!
After 1 month of juggling between our other work commitments and things@Kureno development, it’s finally a wrap and things@Kureno finally launches on 27th May 2010
Official URL: things.kureno.com
Coincidentally, today is also WordPress birthday!!
If you’re following us on @teamkureno, codename of this project is rojak. Why Rojak? Rojak is mixed in Malay and things@Kureno is a place where we showcase all our mini applications for people to use hence the codename rojak
What to watch out for
We will be constantly doing incremental updates to the 4 existing mini applications on things. And we’ll also be adding new apps too! In fact, @eizil, our Lead Developer has already suggested another app that we’ll be doing for things pretty soon

Welcome to Jomtwit – organizing Twitter
What is JomTwit?
JomTwit is a web application that organizes tweets for easy browsing. We organize tweets by categories (News, Technology, Entertainment, Food, Travel and etc). Interested in news? Just click on the News category and see what CNN and BBC are tweeting. It is an easy and intuitive way for people to browse tweets by topic of interest.
Existing users will find their Twitter experience is more organised. Additionally, they can find new tweets that meet their interest. Those new to Twitter will find it easier to enter the information-overload world of Twitter.
There is more! We plan include the following features:
Customizable categories and tweets – Users may want to add more tweets on Technology or remove some tweets on Food. They may want to add a category name Friends and remove News. JomTwit will be able to support all these. After signing up, users can turn the public default page to their own personal JomTwit page that serves their and only their interests.
Tweets & Categories Management – Users can share Tweets and Categories to JomTwit public page.
Integration of Twitter’s Favourite function – JomTwit’s user will be able to use Twitter’s nifty tool, Favourite where users can favourite a certain tweet they find interesting while they’re exploring JomTwit and then later they are able to trace these fave tweets back on their Twitter account
Moving forward…
Our development philosophy is to release a basic service and then to do incremental update and bug fixes. Gradually we will roll out all the features that we intended. Keep an eye on our status notification or follow our Twitter @ http://twitter.com/jomtwit as we will update features (hopefully) on a weekly basis.
Additionally do give us feedback so we can update based on your needs as our users.

Kureno Introduction
Kureno was founded in September 2007 by Iwani Khalid and Aizu Ikmal. Aizu and Iwani have been friends for awhile and have had plans to create their very own web applications and that September, they came up with an idea for a new-age discussion platform called Roundtabl.es together with Syakir Khalid and Nadiah Sulaiman.
From September until November, they were busy drafting the application specs for Roundtabl.es and refining the functionalities. However, due to certain circumstances, Aizu had to leave the team and Roundtabl.es was put on hold. On November 26th 2007, Iwani invited Hadihaizil Din, whom she has been friends with for a long long time to replace Aizu as the Lead Developer. They started working on their first Kureno’s mini app called kurenoUp which originated from Iwani’s idea called Kureno pixxUp. Despite the almost 90% completion of its development, they haven’t decided whether to launch it or not as kurenoUp requires massive server storage and bandwith and may not be a good 1st product launch for Kureno
In early 2008, they started working on Roundtabl.es again and applied for MDeC Tech Pre-Seed in March 2008. The team met up personally with CEO of Cradle, Mr Nazrin to seek for advice and feedback about their application, Roundtabl.es. However, they didn’t make to the 2nd stage of the Pre-Seed interview and again, Roundtabl.es and Kureno were left abandoned
Fast forward to May 2009, after months of idle activities in the Kureno HQ, they are back again and this time, they are truly kicking off a good start for Kureno. They are launching their first product called JomTwit which is part of our 3 Jom application series. There will be 2 more Jom applications coming up in the near future and hopefully, many many other great applications after!
