The Economist Launches Tablet-Only 2012 Election App
The free HTML5 app aggregates content, tweets, links
The Economist Group is giving political junkies one more way to follow the 2012 election with a just-announced, tablet-only app. The free HTML5 app, called Electionism, will include content from The Economist and its D.C.-insider sister publication, Roll Call, as well as a “Noted Elsewhere” section where journalists will share links to what’s on their reading lists and a “Latest From Twitter” section that will aggregate the most notable tweets from candidates, pundits, publications and other politically savvy sources.
The app was created by The Economist Group Media Lab and Toronto-based Pressly, a Flipboard-like service that creates tablet-friendly versions of online publications, but converts them into HTML5 apps rather than native tablet apps.
