Brief Me for Android – Your Media and Social News Dashboard
Many thanks to our friend Vanessa at Webwag, a French mobile startup which specializes in content andapplication aggregators, for bringing this wonderful application to my attention. ‘Brief Me’ was just launched and it is quite possibly the only newsreader app in the Android Market that can hold its own against Pulse News. The application, which has been in development for over a year now, features an extremely friendly UI, and boasts connectivity with Facebook and Twitter, making it a complete resource for all of your news and social media needs.Webwag has released free versions of this multiplatform news app for Android, Honeycomb Tablets, and iOS, which combines news and social media in real-time.
Keep reading for more info on this stellar app, and you’ll find a download link at the bottom of the post, as always!

CONTENT PREVIEW
Does this mean anything to you? http://bit.ly/5sg8d or http://twitpic/7sfj9 ?
Neither does it to us, so Brief me automatically expands the links for regular web sites, images and videos. You have now more information to decide to visit the original site, or not.
And also
- Services management: a rich and elegant partner’s directory
- Open for developers: If you’re a developer or a content owner, you can very easily develop your own flowgins (plugins for Brief me) so that your content appears on Brief me.
