New to QR zapping action? On the iPhone, we use QuickMark, SXSW is recommending i-nigma.

Right around this time every year, a few thousand peoples’ salivatory glands uncontrollably start to get excited.  They know what’s about to happen.  It’s good old fashioned Texas BBQ time at SXSW in Austin.

We’re pleased to say that review’d co-founders John and Eric will be there in full force helping to get this awesome Twitter sentiment analytics up off the ground.  That’s right, at SXSW 2010 (the interactive part), we’ll be attending the usual conferences, strolling our share of 6th Street and handing out invites for a free Basic account for 30 days to fortunate trade show goers.

So yeah, I guess you could call that a launch.  We’re excited about it and can’t wait to share some of the latest enhancements to review’d with you.

It’s been a little while since we’ve been blogging.  So here’s a quick update to what’s been going on:

• review’d llc is official! That’s right, we’re registered up as a fancy pants limited liability corporation.
• Thank you pre-betas. A huge thanks to the handful of those who helped us out with a painful early pre-beta review of review’d – esp @benkunz and @stephfrancoeur. We have incorporated a significant amount of your feedback into the latest instance of the system.
• PayPal is on its way. We’re pretty close to PayPal integration, which will make signing up and using review’d easier than slatering BBQ sauce on your friend’s face at SXSW.

There’s a lot of other behind-the-scenes work too. Calculations, algoritms, etc.. we’ll keep it to the sexy stuff.

So with that, we hope to see you at SXSW.  DM us @reviewd or @ericfleming to meet up.  We have lots of free invites to give away!

We’re pleased to announce @weather_tweets. It’s a service from us here at review’d that allows you to get the weather forecast sent to you via direct message on Twitter up to two times daily.

To sign up, simply go to http://reviewd.com/weather and click the sign up link. From there, we’ll ask you to set up a quick profile that gives us the info we need in order to send you the weather forecast. You’ll tell us the time(s) and zip code — we’ll send you the tweets.

For many people, Twitter is used as a dashboard to get news, stay in touch with friends and colleagues, and to get useful information sent to you automatically. We recognized that there was a void in weather services on Twitter and felt like doing our bit to make a contribution to the Twitterverse. Now instead of needing to go to a dedicated weather forecast site each morning (or wait for Al Roker to tell us what’s going on in our neck of the woods), just check Twitter.

Also, since you have the ability to set notification settings for direct messages (DMs) within your Twitter profile, you can choose whether or not you want these passed along via e-mail and/or text message to your phone.

Traveling? No problem. Quickly log back in and update the zip code in your profile to the location you’ll be and @weather_tweets will take note and start giving you that venue’s weather forecast.

As of right now, we’re only able to provide you with the U.S. weather based on data from your friends at NOAA.

So what does this have to do with review’d? Nothing directly other than the fact that we love knowing what the weather’s going to be before venturing out in downtown Newburyport. But hey, you have to admit that it can get a little stormy inside Twitter now and again.

We hope you enjoy! Let us know what you think.

Oh, don’t forget to tell your followers on Twitter and Facebook about how they can get the weather too!
