Mixero – A Creative Twitter Solution
The new generation Twitter client for people who value their time and are tired of information noise.
Mixero is a unique twitter client it prides itself on being able to characterize data, make it easy for you to find and use and be minimalistic when you don’t need it. Now before you get all bent out of shape about it not being Tweetdeck or Seesmic this app stands a chance. Why? It has all the features the others have. Except one. Multiple account support. However, the app hasn’t launched so we can’t dock them on that yet. Whats the good news? This app has some wicked features that are creative, fresh and functional.
Avatar Mode
This is probably one of my favorite & most innovative features I think have seen come to the twitter client spectrum. When you don’t have your twitter app up you still want to monitor it right? You just don’t want it to take up your whole screen. So what has the group at Mixero done? Just that. When you create people and groups that go into the Activelist (explained below) it hides on the righthand side of your screen with just the key avatars. It tells you if you have any tweets, if they have tweet or your search columns have updated. Why is this features amazing? Because you can continue other tasks and have this twitter client open and not be fully consumed by it.
Groups
Of course. Its a standard who wouldn’t? It however does ad some extra functionality to the normal groups feature. You can filter them by specific content. So lets say you have a group of power bloggers and you want to see if they reviewed the app Ghost yet. (hypothetical to my knowledge) You can see and it filters within that group and then the group users tweets.
Activelist
Is a way for you to put all your I gotta keep tabs on people in one place. Search, group and individuals can be placed on this list. Why is this good? They will show up in Avatar mode and you will be able to keep fine tune track of them. This is a fresh way on the typical “groups” feature.
- Can include users, groups of users and channels.
- Shows information from all contacts, groups and channels as one timeline!
- You will be notified only about updates that are really important for you.
- Most recent updates are automatically shown on top and indicate the amount of unread messages.
- Synchronized! Your ActiveLists stay with you on any PC, mobile phone and browser.
Context
You can have multiple active lists. Why? Are you at work and only need to see people in your office? Working on a huge project and need to see people competing against your project? These are just a few uses for context. This is another brilliant idea for them to show up in Avatar mode by defining who is around in each context list.
- Create new ActiveLists and switch between them to read what is most appropriate to your current environment.
- Only get the information that is interesting for each of your locations or modes – Home, Office, Train, Most important, Buzz etc
- Synchronized!
More Features
These have just been a few notable features that I think will make this app stand out. However it has not launched yet and will be interesting to keep tabs on. There is plans for an iPhone app if you want more information check out the links below. I think this app has a great start at carving out its own niche in the twitter client realm. It has the standards and some innovative features to make it swing with the big players. Keep your eye on this app and see where it goes.

I read their tagline of “reducing the noise,” but then I see their site which is showing me way too much, a UX disaster. These sound like great ideas, but ideas can only be taken so far with poor execution and design.
