Hello. We are @teamkureno and we build apps. We aren’t here to look for fame. We want to help people. All the web applications we built have solved our pains and we want to build more coz heck, we have a lot of pain to cure.
And today, the spotlight is on an app that gets us all worked up, our very own Lorem Ipsum Tool
So what does the app do?
It generates legit, dummy content for our web design & development projects. Essentially, so that we DON’T have to use Lorem Ipsum.
We are comically very passionate about it.
You know how from the outside looking in, people ask “Why so serious?” Well, that’s how we are because web design is personal.
” We think lorem ipsum is bad for your web design and should be rid off forever. “
So what exactly is Lorem Ipsum?
It is filler text that shares some characteristics of a real written text, but is totally incomprehensible.
Here’s an example of Lorem Ipsum
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
What’s the problem with Lorem Ipsum?
Truth is, there is nothing wrong with Lorem Ipsum itself
But, the most alarming problem with using Lorem Ipsum is that it is meaningless. The texts don’t mean anything therefore does not communicate any message. By using Lorem Ipsum as your filler texts during development, you may confuse clients and project stakeholders.
In a web project, it’s best to have content ready prior to designing your website. In circumstances that you can’t, use readable mockup text that is just a Google search away or now, you can use our Lorem Ipsum Tool

NEW: Improved Menu & Home page
It’s been almost a week since our JomTwit launch, and today we have updated some new features to the application, which is a part of our incremental updates that are more to come in the near future.
New features for today are an improved menu and a brand new home/landing page
Our menu has been improved to include more categories so that in the future we would be able to re-organize prominent menu and leave the rest to the More section. We’ve also added a new home/landing page which features a brief introduction of JomTwit to our new users, a sidebar with our features updates from our blog and Twitter. And featured tweets as picked by us
We will be rolling out more exciting features in the following weeks, so watch this space!

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.
