Ex Smokers are Unstoppable

A simple testcase

BZine is a simple iPad application that gives you the ability to read your favourite blogs and feeds in a simple magazine/newspaper layout. The idea was to have a tool to read your Blogs at Breakfast or Bedtime like your holding a magazine.

BZine was conceived as an inhouse technical testcase in iPad development by Foreach developers, but we decided to wrap it up into a package and upload it to the appstore in january 2011. The app can be downloaded and used completely free of charge.

Our client's problem...
Today the news is reaching us through many different channels. People read newspapers, but also follow news on their desktop, smartphone, iPad etc... This means that editors and news publishers are rethinking the best ways of bringing their content to the consumers. 

Mediafin wanted to take a big step towards a more multimedia editorial workflow.  Publications like De Tijd and L'Echo work with multiple media channels like print, online and sms; and news should be made regardless of the carrier through which a consumer will read it. Content first is the idea and a journalist should be able to manage all of the related content and publish to all the different media through a single user interface!
