Following our post from two weeks ago, introducing the new 6sen.se URL shortener, the number one question we received was how soon this cool new feature was going to be available for our iPhone and iPod Touch users. While much of our recent development in the last six months has been focused on the Android and Web platforms, we continue to work hard on improving the iOS experience. Now, we're excited to introduce the addition of the 6sen.se URL shortener for iOS, and in that process, we've removed the long (and not exactly fantastic) tag to your tweets... the (via my6sense). Now you have more room for your message, and can continue sharing to your stream as you always have, bringing the best of the Web to your followers.
Sharing an item from my6sense for iPhone to Twitter
If you find a relevant item in your stream on my6sense for iPhone, click the share button in the top right corner of the message, and choose "Share on Twitter", just like you always have. You can see the preview of the message (as in the right picture), and are reminded how many characters you have to fit under the 140 limit. When done, hit "Send", and your tweet is on its way. It just might end up looking like the one below.
This update unifies the Twitter sharing capabilities between both Android and iOS. Now both platforms show the 6sen.se URL, and iPhone users no longer have to see the (via my6sense) notation on each tweet. Better yet, iPhone users still have one secret weapon the Android guys don't have - the StreamIt functionality! Without going through the above process, you can simply turn on the capability to Autoshare, and click the share button to the left of any item in your stream. Then the tweeting is done on your behalf.

Stream on, iOS brethren! Share the best stuff with all your friends. my6sense works great on iPads too, so if you do have my6sense on your iPad, just hit the 2x button and read your feeds in full screen mode. The most complete smart and personal stream reader on any platform works great on your tablets and mobile phones.
