Jam3 Launches Tweedless, Twitter Filtering App For The BlackBerry PlayBook

By Mauricio

And so the race for Twitter apps on the BlackBerry PlayBook begins! Jam3 today announced they’ve launched Tweedless, a new Twitter app for the PlayBook tablet that lets users compose tweets, direct messages and re-tweet but also has a filtering feature to focus on specific tweets. PlayBook owners who download this app will also be able to:

• Quickly set, re-set or disable filters which are extended from the main feed through to mentions and direct messages
• Have messages sorted based on who you interact with most
• Isolate multiple users and easily follow conversations with simple taps
• Toggle content filters to determine what types of tweets (links, images, videos) and messages are in view

This is definitely not the last Twitter app that will be available for the PlayBook but it’s nice to see them start rolling out. I’ll probably be putting together a few videos focusing on social media apps like Twitter and Facebook so stay tuned for that as well.
