Mediafed Launches Qrius Using Taptu as News Reader Across the Web, Mobile, and Tablets

Hi Taptu fans,

We’ve got big news to share. Today, our parent company, Mediafed, is launching a new service called Qrius that will let you follow your favourite news sources across your smartphone, tablet, and desktop.

You’ll find the Q button on some of the biggest news sites out there, such as IDG UK’s PC Advisor and MacWorld in the UK, Le Figaro in France, Bild in Germany and Apple Insider and Motley Fool in the US, to name a few.

Once you click on the Q, it will take you to Taptu where you can sign in via Facebook, Twitter or Google +. Your news feed will appear as a stream on your Taptu app, which can be accessed from smartphones, tablets and the Web. In the coming weeks, we’ll be welcoming a number of global media partners, so keep a look out for the Q button! We hope it makes it as easy to add a newsfeed as clicking the follow button to follow a Twitter stream or Facebook page. Of course, you can still put feeds on Taptu by going directly to the app and adding them.

If you do try the service and need help, please ping us. We also welcome any comments you might have once you try it. For more information on the launch, please see the separate press release that we’ve also posted. Thanks and happy reading!
