Hola Brave Beta Souls,

First, we just want to thank you for your interest in SuperTwitter. It really has been a labor of love and having interest from anybody else is icing on the cake. While we agree that there could be a lot of features to make it more of a Twitter Swiss Army Knife, for now we’re just really focused on the visual display. With more and more people referencing images with Twitter we discovered the fun when we layered the text on top of the images. It’s random and a very new way of looking at your Twitter channels. On the iPhone, well, it’s just a great screen to watch the show on.

Here’s how you try it out:

• On the iPhone’s Safari browser go to: http://beta.supertwitter.com
• Click on the the “login to Twitter” button
• You’ll be redirected to a Twitter authentication page
• After logging into your Twitter account you’ll be redirected back to SuperTwitter
• When you see the SuperTwitter logo slide in you can just tap to see each of the first twenty tweets in your account

A few things to know:

• It sometimes takes a while for things to load.
• If you return to the browser and want to see it again try refreshing the page or sometimes you’ll need to input the url again or just remove the # sign at the end. If all else fails start reboot the mother and start with a new page.
• You can add this beta version to your iPhone Home Screen by clicking the “+” on the browser and selecting “Add to my Home Screen” a SuperTwitter icon will be placed on your Home Screen and will be available anytime you want to check in.

As a beta tester we would appreciate your feedback in the comments of this blog post. Please feel free to tell us anything you like about the application, but we’d especially like to know how you feel about the display. Did you like the simple animation? What would make the image collage better? etc.

If you have a point of view on SuperTwitter it would be great for you to tweet about it too with the #supertwitter hashtag with a link to http://www.supertwitter.com - and if you aren’t already, you can follow us on … Twitter @supertwtr.

We’ll save a special spot in our SuperTwitter hearts for you who were the first to give it a try.

Many Thanks,

Jeff, Paul, George and Drew
