MixBit iPhone App: Version 1.0.3
I downloaded the MixBit iPhone App and have been playing
around in the user interface. It's a nice app, and I recommend trying it out if you have an iPhone.
What’s with Twitter sharing?
I’m able to generate what looks to be a blank tweet when I try to tweet
out from a featured video from within the iOS app.
If I actually do share the tweet, a link is sent out.
Here’s what I did on the MixBit iPhone app. I created a fake account to check out the
app. I did NOT open up any email on my
iPhone 3GS to create a formal, activated account. I went to a featured video, selected the
tweet option, and was presented with a completely blank twitter option.
This is much easier to show than to describe, so please see
the attached screenshots below.
Steps:
1.
Download and launch the MixBit iPhone App
2.
Select the “M” and select “Account”
3.
Select “Register” and enter in a fake email
address
4.
Go to any featured video
5.
Select the tweet option for any video
6.
Notice that the generate tweet doesn’t have any
default #MixBit hastag
7.
Notice that the you don’t even see a url!
Result: Selecting the
tweet option for any featured video from inside of the MixBit iPhone app is an
odd experience – I’m not seeing any default message or even a url
Expected: I expect to
see a url in all tweets that I send out – generally expect a default hashtag
Download the MixBit iPhone App...
Register an account using a bogus email address...
You'll receive a confirmation message. Don't do anything except for heading to the featured videos...
From any featured video, send out a tweet...
A url never appears. There's no default message, or a hashtag. Send out the tweet...
