Facebook previews upcoming app-inspired newsfeed for desktop and mobile
Facebook previews upcoming app-inspired newsfeed for desktop and mobile
Facebook today announced a major revamp coming to its signature News Feed every user sees when they launch the Facebook app or login to Facebook on the desktop. The updated News Feed is heavily inspired by Facebook’s mobile app, which was first developed for iOS.
While there are several changes to the News Feed coming, the most obvious will appear in the desktop browser. Now Facebook’s website will feature the same left-side navigation browser that users reveal on its iOS apps by swiping to the right. In addition, significant changes are coming to the way the News Feed is displayed on the iPhone and iPad. From Facebook’s press release today:
Today we’re announcing a new version of Facebook designed to reduce clutter and focus more on stories from the people you care about. You see all the stories you saw in your News Feed before, but with a fresh new look. We’ve completely rebuilt each story to be much more vibrant and colorful and highlight the content that your friends are sharing. Photos, news articles, maps and events all look brighter and more beautiful.
To make sure you’re seeing all the stories you want to see, we’re introducing several new feeds to explore in addition to the same News Feed you have today:
- All Friends – a feed that shows you everything your friends are sharing
- Photos – a feed with nothing but photos from your friends and the Pages you like
- Music – a feed with posts about the music you listen to
- Following – a feed with the latest news from the Pages you like and the people you follow.
The new News Feed rollout won’t rollout won’t go live for everyone for a few weeks. Those wishing to get started early can visit www.facebook.com/about/newsfeed and add themselves to the waiting list.

Robocat's Kickstarter campaign for Thermodo
Robocat, maker of the three iOS weather apps Haze, Outside, and Thermo, had launched a Kickstarter campaign for Thermodo, a physical thermometer that integrates with the iPhone.
While a thermometer for iOS sounds pretty clever, I believe it has some hurdles to jump in addition to getting funded. Thermodo is a tiny dongle that hangs on your keychain and plugs into the iPhone’s headphone jack.
The Kickstarter page states:
"Simply plug Thermodo into your device and start the companion app or any other Thermodo enabled apps of your choice. The temperature reading takes place instantly. Thermodo is powered by your device. No external power is required, it can even run in the background while you do important stuff."
With Robocat's own weather apps and the many other competing apps, why make Thermodo?
The Kickstarter page states:
“The reason we made this hardware actually came from the users,” Robocat told Cult of Mac. “We often got 1-star reviews from users that complain that the temperature data is incorrect or that Thermo doesn’t work indoors. So we are trying to solve this issue with a hardware module. With Thermodo they will get accurate temperature readings from where they are. It’s also just really exciting to work with hardware that can communicate with the mobile devices in a creative way.”
The software is where the magic will really happen for Thermodo. You’ll be able to quickly measure the temperature indoors and outdoors. The dongle will let you track the temperature and see how it rises and falls throughout the day. No network connection is required.
Thermodo will work with Haze and Thermo, and Robotcat will have a SDK available for developers to add support for their weather apps. The idea is that you will have a miniature weather station with you at all times.
My concern is that you will have conflicting temperatures to deal with. Let's say it is 15 degrees outside here in Detroit, but I am in my car with the temperature set at 75 degrees. What is the temperature that I want my phone to report? The external or internal temperature? I contend that you will vary on this, but the man thing is both. My biggest issue is just why? Why do I want to know the exact temperature of my immediate environment? Why would the majority of people want to know this? I am quite sure there are many specialized professions and individuals that will require this, but are there enough to justify this product? Time will tell.

Artfinder is a Magazine Featuring Art You Can Buy
Artfinder is a Magazine Featuring Art You Can Buy
Artfinder is a magazine jam-packed with feature stories, exclusive interviews and beautiful collections; a wish list where you can save your favorite works of art and make purchases with just a few taps; and the art of the day, which will hopefully inspire you and teach you a little something about the creativity in the world around you.
Click “more” to see for yourself.
Like the article? You should subscribe and follow us on twitter.
Getting Around
Artfinder will prompt you to connect to the app using an email address and/or your Facebook account. If you think there’s a chance you’ll want to receive alerts as to when new Art of the Day or special offers have been added, then signing up for an account with your email address is a must.
Artfinder is a magazine all about art — but you can buy the pieces you like! Check out features like Art of the Day, Abstract Art, Photography, Features and others.
Artfinder displays all its content in well-labeled squares that are easy to scroll through. Categories include Abstract Art, Editor’s Picks, Artists to Watch, 60-Second Interviews, Photography, Guides, Gallery of the Week, Style and Trends, Learn, specific artist features, and so many others.
Swipe to the right at any time in order to reveal the menu, where you can access the Magazine, your Profile and Feedback (where you can contact Artfinder directly).
While you’re browsing, click on any individual square of content for more information. Or, to view the menu, swipe anywhere on the screen to the right. A gray menu will be revealed, featuring the following tabs:
Home: What’s new on Artfinder
Magazine: Stories, interviews and collections
Profile: Browse your wish list and manage your settings
Feedback: Let Artfinder know your thoughts
Tap on any work of art for background on the artist and details about the individual piece.
The Art
In the Magazine, click on any item for more information, including any of the Art of the Day. You’ll be able to see the entire work of art, plus read about the artist and view other works by the same artist. See something you like? Click the star icon at the top of the page to save it to your favorites. Also, you can share the art via email and social media using the Share button at top right.
You can also view details on the partner (gallery), view price, edition number, and other must-know information for art enthusiasts.
And if you come across a piece you decide you just can’t live without, I have good news: It can be yours. Go ahead and click that Buy button to view the full damage — I mean, grand total — including the cost of shipping.
Artfinder’s extends a promise to its customers: It offers every customer a 30-day, no-risk, money-back guarantee, and will arrange the collection of any purchase at no cost to the customer.
And More
While the Feedback tab provides you with a way to easily contact the Artfinder team, the Profile tab enables you to easily adjust your settings, including whether you want to receive notifications from Artfinder for a new Art of the Day or special offers.
Sign up for an account with Artfinder if you want to receive alerts about new Art of the Day and special offers.
From the Profile tab you can also view your wish list items, meaning all the works of art you’ve starred while browsing the app’s content. Click on any artwork for more information or to make a purchase.
Final Thoughts
If you have any appreciation whatsoever for art — or even if you don’t — you may be surprised at how much time you end up spending scrolling through all the works of art and lusting after certain pieces.
At the most, you may discover an artist or piece that resonates with you so deeply that you just have to have it. And at the least, you will garner some creative inspiration or a few minutes to relax and tap into the more artistic side of your mind. The app’s simplicity, as well as its well-organized and easy-to-navigate format, make it that much easier to get lost in.
