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!

If you haven’t our introductory post on JomTwit, do read it here

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.
