buffr

We want to be your social inbox. We're trying to build a dead simple way to manage multiple social networks

[buffr]

Links shared on buffr appear beautifully on facebook! 

If you share a link, we make sure it appears with thumbnails on facebook rather than the plain old link that many of the third party apps currently display when they push your status updates to your facebook page.

Say Hello to Linkedin.com

Buffr now allows you to link multiple linkedin accounts so that you can easily manage your linkedin profile from within buffr along with twitter, facebook and facebook fan pages.

This release allows you to update your linkedin status and view all the network updates from your connections on linkedin. You can also "like" and "comment" on the linkedin updates of your connections from within buffr.

Easily manage Facebook Fan Pages

Buffr now supports Facebook Fan pages. You can add as many fan pages as you want and easily post to your fan page wall through buffr. You can also view your fan page wall within buffr.

This is just step 1 of our facebook fan page integration. It's a work in progress, expect more features under fan pages.

Apart from facebook fan page support, we also added 2 new tabs under Facebook section namely 'News Feed' and 'Wall'.

What's new in buffr

We've added the following new stuff on buffr : 

Status update length check (so that you know if your tweet is longer than 140)

'Show Conversation' for twitter which helps you view a conversation thread

'Lists you follow' so that you can see updates from twitter lists that you follow

In tweets, we've made the #tags clickable and URLs now display the destination instead of previous one where we simply showed t.co links

Buffr helps me consume news effortlessly

We just added twitter list support in buffr. I've been eagerly waiting for this because I'm a big fan of twitter lists. Lists help me keep a tab on updates related to various categories. But the problem with twitter lists is that with so many lists it was never easy keeping a tab on all of them.

Worry not! With buffr, you can add as many lists as you wish. Whenever there is a new update in a list, you would get a notification and you can jump right into the list to check the updates! 

What I've now done is made a new twitter list where I've added @techcrunch @newsycombinator @mashable @pluggdin and @hsindia to it. Whenever there is a new update from any of these sites, I would know it immediately!

Don't forget to follow @buffr on twitter!

[buffr]

@buffr all the way!

Happy day today! We got the twitter username @buffr! 

A big thank you to folks at twitter for helping us out. Next time you need to know something about us just ask us @buffr ;)

Clear unwanted posts, watch videos inline and share them incredibly fast!

This weekend was fun. We did some heavy duty work (at the cost of sleeping only a few hours) but nevertheless it was totally worth it. 

Here are some of the changes : 

More relevant content in the News Feed

You can now clear seen posts or you can do what I do - have a quick look at all the posts in the page and then click the Clear All link at the top of the page. Now this is what I call keeping a clean inbox, helps you stay in control of all the social media posts

View videos inline. Yeah, no need to open it in a new window anymore

Share videos that you like, incredibly fast at the click of a button, no popups, we don't like them either

Are there videos and photos being shared by your friends that you would love to have a look at but don't have time to? No worries, click the 'See Later' link and it'll be saved for you to see when you are free

Under the hood, we've made changes to the code that will help us implement a few good features that we've been planning on. More about that some other day.

[buffr]

and we launch!

With no definite plan, many a missed deadlines, today just happens to be the day we launch buffr(in private alpha) and we realized : 

A. It's Happy Easter

B. Sri Sathya Sai Baba has left for his heavenly abode

C. It's Sachin Tendulkar's birthday!

If you happen to read this and we are still in early alpha, then you can try clicking here, you just might be able to try buffr.com

P.S. A, B and C have one word in common - GOD

Hello, buffr!

We've been hard at work from the last several months trying to wire up a new web product. The first alpha version is almost nearing completion and I thought it would be a good time to start this blog. We intend to keep all our users updated about the product through this blog.

We've been building a web application that would help you view posts from your social networks in a better and smarter way. It is quite common to read updates from friends on social networks like facebook, twitter as well as professional networks like linkedin. We intend to pull posts from as many relevant networks as possible and display it to you at a single place.

Apart from pulling posts from various networks, behind the scenes our app works hard on categorizing the posts into various categories like videos, photos, links, status etc.

To start with, we have integrated facebook and soon enough we will be integrating twitter as well. 

We've put in a lot of hard work to make this right. Here's hoping all of you would like it, use it and spread the word to all your friends.

In a few days, buffr.com starts.
