We released FYI version 1.3 today which includes a vastly improved Twitter interface; a dual-pane interface allowing you to keep the original Tweet visible while viewing links, mentions and user profiles in another pane.  Follow and unfollow other users while viewing their profile.

We made some minor updates to the Google Reader feed management that will increase reliability of those functions.

We added the option of whether or not the Icon Badge shows the number of unread messages.

FYI 1.2 - Released

We released version FYI version 1.2 today which includes some new features.  You can now manage your Google Reader feeds in the app.  We’ve added an exclusive “Paused Feed” feature.  This might be used for a high-volume feed that you don’t want to read, but also don’t want to delete.  The “Paused Feed” feature will mark items read in Google Reader when syncing and will not cache them on your iPad.

We made some minor updates to existing features: (1) the font changer buttons were changed to dim when limits are reached, (2) we added an alert message when enabling Sync-On-Start telling you to make sure everything is working BEFORE you enable this feature.  If you aren’t logging in properly, Sync-On-Start will cause problems. (3) The “next article” buttons now automatically switch between next unread and next.

We also added a Facebook User filter similar to the Facebook application filter.

This release includes a schema update so it may be slow to start the first time.
