Introducing the new iPhone app for Labour bloggers

By Andrew Regan

A new, free, Bloggers4Labour app is available for iPhone users. It’s ideal for Labour bloggers and for anyone involved with politics, providing a ‘live’, updateable, list of the most recent blog posts from across the Labour blogosphere, featuring: title, date, blogger, and a short preview. Users can click on an item to view the post’s full content.

Download it here.

The application is powered by my new Poblish political blogging platform. If you’re one of the 788 individual Labour bloggers listed there, or you post via LabourHome or LabourList, the chances are that your posts are already being opened-up to a whole new audience.

If not, make sure you’re signed up at poblish.org and that your blog is listed. You can find out more about Poblish’s ‘big idea’, and how we plan to improve political blogging, here.

Early in the New Year, I plan to release an even more comprehensive app that will let you:

* Perform live searches across the political blogosphere.

* View feeds for thousands of UK and International bloggers, blogs, and customisable groups.

* Create and share customisable feeds that aggregate bloggers, blogs, groups, and content queries, in any combination.

* Flag, favourite, and rate other bloggers’ articles.

So, if you would like the Tory blogosphere at your fingertips, would like to track all references to Gordon Brown, to David Cameron – or perhaps to yourself? – or would just like immediate access to your own ‘playlist’ of bloggers or newspaper journalists, the upcoming Poblish app will be right up your street.

Keep up with developments our developments on Twitter, or at the Poblish Facebook group. You can also contact me at [email protected].
