Tabloids takes your Twitter feed and uses the data to make a newspaper-esque page. It transforms shortened links into elegantly formatted articles and even includes descriptions and images when available. Trending stories are also included.
The app provides something the typical Twitter stream desperately needs -- order from noise and chaos and beauty from links and hashtags -- and provides it in a way that works perfectly with the iPad's unique specs. This isn't an enlarged iPhone app; take a look at these screenshots:
A rep from the developer team told us that making and testing Tabloids "made us evaluate people we were following depending on the URLs they were posting. To sum it up, Tabloids helped us increase the average quality of the people we were following by unfollowing uninteresting people... This is why Tabloids is so great: the news is personalized for you. The news that reaches you has reached you because you wanted to."
At this time, the app's list of features is still under development. Thus far, it includes the ability to display the 10 most recent shared URLs or stories from a feed, multiple account support, as-needed web browsing and native support for YouTube video playback.
Tabloids is a product of 25th Avenue, and it's available in the App Store for $2.99.
Is this a good Twitter client for the iPad, in your opinion? What other features would you like to see?
