[ Updated on October 19, 2011 with new beta release download links. Fixing Facebook connection, new Layout engine, ... Enjoy. ]
We’ve been (and still are…) working real hard at improving our Socialzine concept and implementation, and we are excited to release a new beta version that will enable you to view and read your social networks updates, as well as information feeds in a beautiful magazine style layout.
What’s new since the previous release that was described in this post ?
Well, it’s no longer just your social networks, we have added many news sources, like Google News, Digg, Reddit, HackerNews, … from which you can pick the ones you like.

And of course they all can be displayed in a magazine style layout, enriched with more text, photos and videos than the original feeds.

Each entry can be opened in a click to get the original article.
Below are the links to download this release if you would like to become a beta tester.
If you were already using a beta release, we suggest you first uninstall it but please be aware that:
- uninstalling will require that you set up your accounts again when you install the new release.
- if you have a Yoono username, and are using Yoono with this account on more than one computer, do not choose the option to delete the account when uninstalling. That would make your other computer unable to connect and would require you to uninstall and install again on each of them.
Some changes between the two beta would make your experience temporarily less satisfying if you just installed over the previous one.
To launch Socialzine (Firefox or Chrome):
- Ensure you have at least one Facebook or Twitter account connected to Yoono
- After installing the new build and launching, click the small magazine icon in the thin bar at the left hand side of Yoono (immediately under the Menu button with the wrench on it)
To launch Socialzine (Desktop App):
- Ensure you have at least one Facebook or Twitter account connected to Yoono
- After installing the new build and launching, click on the “Socialzine” tab at the top
Of course, this is still beta, so there will be glitches…
We hope you’ll enjoy it, and feel free to let us know : feedback@yoono.com
