If you haven’t already played with it, give it a try and let us know what you think (we will be releasing version two soon, and would love to incorporate some of your feedback and suggestions). With this version you can catch a quick glimpse of what your friends are up to, comment on and rate the things they are sharing, and save posts for later viewing. And, if you are a Twitter user, you can use the app to let your twitter followers know when you comment, rate, or save posts on Strands.

We are very proud of what our mobile team has put together here, but don’t just take our word for it — check out what some others have said, and give it a try for yourself!

Read reviews on mashable, louisgray, and venturebeat.

As always, let us know what you think and we’ll try to build your suggestions into the next version mobile.feedback@strands.com

Adam Christianson has been at it for years…tracking down the best and latest Apple news, and talking about it on his show.

But what about Adam Christianson the person.   The man behind the show.   Well, you can follow him on Strands and find out.

Maccast on Strands

Maccast on Strands

I’ve been paying attention to the music Adam has been listening to lately and it’s a pretty awesome mix of stuff.

Last songs listened to:

Jack Johnson - Losing Hope

Billy Joel - When in Rome

The White Stripes - In the Cold Cold Night

I’m personally a Jack Johnson fan, so by filtering Adam’s Strand and just viewing his music, I know that our tastes are similar.   I dig what he talks about on his show, and I’m an avid Apple user…but the guy behind the show has some pretty interesting taste.

Follow Adam on Strands!

Strands is very proud to support “Silicon Valley Rocks“, which is taking place on December 3rd at 7pm.

It’s not just an opportunity for Valley folks to get together and play music with their bands, it’s an opportunity to help kids by supporting the Music in Schools Today (MuST) cause, which aims to keep music programs alive in schools.

Music is such an integral part of our lives, heck I learned how to play trumpet in elementary school, and I was in the choir. It was a great experience and something I’ll never forget.

All children should get the same opportunity to find and share their love of music.

Would you like to go? Strands has a few tickets and we’d love for you to be our guest and rock out with Silicon Valley’s biggest rockstars!

Drop us an email at feedback @ strands.com with “SVRocks” in the subject line and we’ll hook ya up.
