We aim to be, Categorical.ly, the Best Twitter Client Possible.
Categorical.ly targets the Twitter power users: users who follow more than a couple hundred people on Twitter. These are often people who use Twitter for their business, for marketing, and for communicating with their clients.
We add dozens of unique features specifically tailored to this community. Our Rules Engine allows us to apply a set of custom filters to every tweet that comes into our system.
From color coding tweets, to getting an email digest of them, to grouping them by person, by keyword, or location, we aim to allow you to slice and dice tweets as never before.
Additionally, Categorical.ly is completely web based. This means you don’t need to recreate your rules on every computer you have. If you want to check your work accounts from home, simply log in to the website and everything is just as you left it.
Starting Up
This is just the beginning. As Categorical.ly matures we will be adding many new features, including click tracking from shortened links, analytics of your followers, your tweets, and your friends, and a lot more.
May 2009 is our launch month. I’m not going to use any software clichés like “alpha” or “beta” or anything like that. (Google has completely ruined the concept of beta software). Instead, just be aware that this is very early in the life of Categorical.ly. There are yet Many Things to Do. No doubt far more than I am aware.
So when you find some things left for me to do, add them to our Uservoice page.
And since we are so young, anyone who signs up in the next couple weeks will get a 30 day trial period (instead of the normal 7 days.) After which, when you realize how much you love us, you can pay our crazy low monthly fee.
My name is Patrick Burrows. I made this.
