Broadersheet - News that matters. To you.
Announcing readness.com
View Comments 2 months, 13 days ago.I’m thrilled to announce the public beta release of readness.com, a brand new web site built from the ground up by the Broadersheet team.
In designing Readness, we wanted to make it really easy to:
- Discover what your friends are reading online
- Make it even easier to discover great, relevant content on the web
- Provide you with a rich and compelling profile of your reading habits
So how does it work? If you’re familiar with last.fm and what they do for music, readness works in a similar way but for online content: you install an add-on into your browser and whenever you read a site that matches our whitelist of publications, the page is sent to Readness.
By default, you have 15 minutes before your friends get to see your reads, just in case you want to remove any before they’re made public. You can then use the readness site to see what your friends are reading and get interesting charts and graphs of your reading habits.
Readness is a free service and is available right now at readness.com. We’d love to hear your feedback: leave a comment below or get in touch directly.

- Just submitted Broadersheet 1.6 to Apple for approval. #
Article sharing now available in Broadersheet 1.6
View Comments 3 months, 21 days ago.Apple have just approved version 1.6 of Broadersheet. This release contains a whole host of user interface improvements to make reading the news even easier. But the main focus of this release is on sharing features.
We took a little longer than normal to implement our sharing features because we wanted to make sure the integration was perfect. We wanted you to be able to choose to share to more than one social network, we wanted sharing to still work if you were on the underground or at sea, we wanted sharing to just work.
Here’s the complete list of changes in 1.6. It’s a free update available directly from the app store:
- Share articles directly from the article view
- Send articles via email
- Send articles directly to Facebook, Twitter or both
- Once sharing is configured, you can share articles while offline and they will be automatically posted if you connect to the Internet within 36 hours.
- Add an option to always use the offline view when available
- Add an option to automatically share starred articles
- Add next/previous article buttons to the article view
- Much improved article view toolbar
- No longer jump to the top of the headline view when fetching new articles
- More articles are retained between launches (particularly useful for iPod Touch owners)
- Email Broadersheet directly from the app with any feedback or support requests
- Old starred articles no longer hang around in the date/source/topic tabs
