Social Media Curation Apps

The Hushbook App Lets You Unfollow Facebook Friends By Swiping

— March 24, 2015 — Tech
The Hushbook app makes it easy to unfollow annoying friends on Facebook. The app does this with a Tinder-like approach, streaming your friend list and then letting you decide who to keep and who to axe via left and right swiping. Everyone who gets a left swipe is unfollowed from Facebook, although they still remain your friend.

The Hushbook app has a counter that tracks how many people you've unfollowed. There's also a separate page that shows your friends list, with those you still follow being given a small, blue "following" icon.

The Hushbook app is a new approach to curating social media. Granted, cleaning up a newsfeed or timeline isn't the hardest thing in the world, but it has never been as easy as simply swiping left or right. It's not hard to imagine Hushbook being used to filter out unwanted posts from other social networks, should its makers gain access to these networks APIs.
Trend Themes
1. Social Media Curation - The Hushbook app introduces a new approach to curating social media with its swipe-based unfollowing feature.
2. Tinder-like User Experience - The Hushbook app adopts a Tinder-like user experience to streamline the process of unfollowing Facebook friends.
3. Expansion to Other Social Networks - The innovative approach of Hushbook opens up opportunities for the app to expand and offer the same swipe-based curation for other social networks.
Industry Implications
1. Social Media Management - The Hushbook app brings a fresh perspective to social media management by making it easier to curate your online connections and posts.
2. Mobile App Development - The success of swipe-based curation in the Hushbook app presents an opportunity for developers and companies to design similar mobile apps with innovative user experiences.
3. API Integration - With its potential expansion to other social networks, Hushbook's success highlights the need for API integration services in the social media industry.
