PostPost helps users find relevant, interesting Tweets that they want to read. The application offers a more detailed way to search Twitter. Users can see recommendations posted by their friends to discover new websites, images and other online media. The user can select items to view later or click on them to view immediately. PostPost also provides users with an advanced search feature that lets them find what they really want to read on Twitter. PostPost enables users to save their past searches so they can quickly reference those later without having to re-enter the information. Additional search filters are also included so the user can find specific items such as links and photos. PostPost is designed to allow users to search Twitter quickly with better results.
The idea that grew into PostPost was formed as the application’s creators realized how significant social networks had become in their lives. They realized that many of the people they knew posted items that helped them in their careers or simply provided an element of happiness to their lives. However these posts are often overlooked and get pushed down the page quickly. PostPost was created to allow users to easily find and save those important Tweets.
PostPost offers users an advanced Twitter search engine. The user can tailor their search to their personal preferences and needs. The application is easy to use and goes beyond a basic search function (although PostPost does include a search tool). Users can sort through Tweets by specific user and save those items to access later.
The PostPost website welcomes users with a light color scheme featuring white and pale blue. Hints of orange are found throughout, primarily in the site logo. The Tweet listings appear much like status updates on most social networks. However PostPost offers a cleaner interface and neat organization that is far easier on the eyes. The user never feels overwhelmed by clutter when exploring Tweets on PostPost.
PostPost works with Twitter, so naturally this would be the best option for user login. Newcomers to the PostPost website must have a Twitter account to begin using the application. Those who do can click the “Sign in with Twitter” button found in the upper, right hand corner of the homepage (in the light blue header). After doing so, the user is directed to a Twitter page asking for their login credentials. By signing in to Twitter, the user gives PostPost permission to access their account. A note at the bottom of the form advises the user that PostPost will not be able to update their profile, follow new people, post Tweets or see their Twitter password.
PostPost offers a helpful service to its users however it is a service that would be difficult to request payment for. Twitter is a free service, so all the data collected could easily be obtained by the user on their own. Luckily, PostPost has remained appealing by inviting all users to try the application for free. There are no subscription fees or other charges for signing in and using PostPost.
PostPost is a tool for anyone who uses Twitter frequently. The user must have a Twitter account to use any of the features on PostPost. Individuals who manage many friends and updates on Twitter would get the most benefit from PostPost.
