Introducing Tweetminster V.2
We’re delighted to announce the launch of Tweetminster V.2 and the release of many new tools and features.
So, what’s new?
Channels
Alongside a design revamp, we’re launching ‘Channels’ - algorithmically curated pages that dynamically aggregate relevant content around topics. We’re kicking things off with the Economy, Europe & Foreign Affairs, Education, Environment, Society and Health.
Each Channel encompasses a livestream of relevant tweets, the most shared topical news stories relevant to the Channel, thematic trends and recommended Twitter users who post a lot about the Channel’s issue.
We want to help you follow and build a network not just of ‘friends’, but around the issues that matter to you. This is just a first round of Channels - over time we will be adding more, around both topics and locations.
@anywhere
We’ve also integrated Twitter’s @anywhere functionality across the site - this means you can find and follow MPs directly from Tweetminster, you can find out more about the tweeters that appear in the livestream by hovering over their username and you can reply, tweet and follow people from Tweetminster by connecting with Twitter from the site.
Lists
Finally, we’ve added our most popular Lists to the site: MPs, the Westminster Wire (a list of all political journalists, news sources and influencers) and lists for MPs by party. The latter lists can be found in our MPs section, which now also includes a running total of MPs by party.
The goal of Tweetminster is to organise content and networks, and make it easier for people to follow and interact with UK politics, and we hope that you agree Tweetminster V.2 is a significant step in this direction.
We look forward to your thoughts, and do send us your feedback - @tweetminster
