Everything is bigger in Texas, including the infamous South by South West Interactive Festival (SXSWi)!
Some members of the Rummble team, including Andrew, will be headed to Austin from the 11th of March until the 17th to take part in this year’s festivities. Rummble will be headed with 35 other UK startups, via Digital Mission, a group organised by Chinwag and UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), that enables digital companies to expand into overseas markets and attract investment outside the UK.
Key speakers at this year’s event include Twitter’s CEO Evan Williams and the founder of music sharing goodness Spotify, David Ek… We’re excited to show Texans what Rummbling is all about and will be sure to update you on ways you can get involved when the event gets closer!

Google started 2010 with a bang by launching the Nexus One at a press conference in Mountain View, and in doing so became a direct consumer handset supplier of a shiny Google-branded HTC. 
Here at Rummble we don’t get too caught up in the difference between a smartphone and a superphone, but instead focus on continually providing an outstanding user experience on all leading mobile platforms – including Android, iPhone, Windows Phone and Vodafone 360.
Rummble’s resident Android ninjas have been coding during the new year to bring you Rummble for Android, which looks even more stunning on Version 1.08 and includes a host of added functionality and bug fixes.
Added Functionality:
- Message a contact from the People list
- Filter any Rummble by username
- Take your profile photo from your mobile’s camera
- Added auto update on user location
- Add multiple tags when creating a new Rummble
- Display nearby tweets for any Rummble
- Multiple sorting filters now available when searching including: location, tag, or distance
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed sorting by distance
- Improved button feedback
- Improved interface including usability of location and search bar
- Overall performance improvements
- Fixed Settings menu, including menu dialogue on people screen
Keep the Rummble for Android feedback coming by tweeting to @Rummble or contacting us directly.
