Heads up! There’s a new micro-blogging app out now called Dayre with an aim to make blogging from your mobile device simple and easy. Designed for “busy people dying to say more than is possible” in only 140 characters or with a solitary photo, Dayre allows you to simply post multiple, bite-sized updates from your day that result in one succinct post as a record of your day.
As one of only 30 select bloggers in the UK chosen as alpha seeders for the launch of Dayre, I’ll be playing around with the app over the next six weeks, sending feedback to the developers about what I think works (and doesn’t), and trying to determine whether the app will be worth keeping in my ‘arsenal’ once it goes to beta.
After a couple of days tinkering around with Dayre, I have to say it is really easy to post stuff and pretty fun to do as well. Dayre’s look and feel is sort of like a mashup of traditional long-form blogging with a mobile photo sharing app such as Instagram. To be nit-picky, a spellchecker function would be good, and I’m not all that crazy about how my photos are cropped whenI upload them. But I reckon plenty of updates and improvements are on the way. But all in all, so far so good. The location search is notably accurate and quick. It’s cool to see the things I got up to during a day in a concise an accessible format too.
I’m enjoying Dayre and look forward to sharing some of the highs and lows of the next month and a half via my mobile. If you’d like to follow my Dayre activities and eventually get in on the fun yourself, check out my profile at dayre.me/tikichris. With a juicy trip lined up to Italy in a couple of weeks and Christmas on the glittering horizon, I’m sure to have some interesting titbits to share with you. The app is available for free on Android and iPhone. Have a look.
