Smartr, a free iPhone and iPod Touch appwe’ve profiled, is a splendid way of consuming news posted to Twitter and Facebook by one’s friends without other social network posts cluttering up your feeds.
The app does this by removing spam, duplicate links, and uninteresting content such as check-ins and generic status updates.
Smartr also features:
Smartr version 2.0 builds on the already grand features of the app but has been completely redesigned, made faster, with a wonderful new user interface.

A major new feature of Smartr 2.0 is the app’s “Connection Engine.” The feature is a suggestion system connecting users with people reading the same content as you.
Speaking with Smartr’sTemo Chalasani:
“We have seen over and over again that people reading the same articles have similar interests and can help each other discover a lot of new and interesting content.”
Those you follow are presented in a new, filtered, Smartr feed. The Smartr feed will show you what they are filtering and reading in real-time.
The clean, excellent, redesign is evident in the Twitter and Facebook feeds as well.
Smartr 2.0 is a new way of seeing what your friends and colleagues are actually reading on Twitter and Facebook, while adding new features with a complete design overhaul. If you’ve yet to try Smartr, pick up the free apphereand share with us what you think!
