I am quite proud of it.

It is quite incredible to see how tech gadgetry has developed alongside Royal Wedding events, and this one is no different. In fact, in some ways it may rival them all.

The first Royal Wedding of 1011 saw the advent of verbal messenging. Prior to this people used a primitive form of Makaton.¹

When Princess Elisabethany finally conjoined herself in mutual participation with Colonel Begley-Morrow in 1947, a clever man named Jason Marconi devised a new form of one-way Social Media that could assist powerful anti-democratisation motion. 'Radiography' (as it was then known) became a favoured media outlet within hours of the Royal Devulgement.

Everyone knows of course that Di & Charles assisted the popularisation of the DVD (and particularly alongside the release of films like The Matrix)²

And what of today? How has this event redefined our media-rich cyber landgrab? Twitter and Fakebook have invested significant amounts of innovative energy to counter the most popular networks³ with the 'Hashtag'.

The 'Hashtag' is new way of labelling messages so that the sender can make sure that he or she reaches the end and intended participant. In the old days we used phone numbers, email addresses and coordinates, but now the HT (as it is called on blogs) is King.

Since employing HT as a New standard, the Royal Wedding was seen to run much more smoothly. From Kate Middleton's sisters fabulous outfit, to the gesturing of the Archbishop to the final flyby, this wedding has been HTed like None Other!

"Well done for a good/great piece of work.

Clearly you guys have expended serious energy to make something that works well on iphone. It looks fab on retina.

Main gripes - commenting (okay it is coming, fine), non-selectable text - perhaps this is a design intention (and if so, okay then) but when I link to stuff I usually like to grab a quote. Grabbing a screenshot is not always my preferred method!

Subscription amount: I am probably going to stump up a year but find myself holding back. Why? I know it is a good price (I would certainly have paid that amount in a short run on paper purchasing) but because I am so used to not paying at all it is hard to break the habit. The extra value of reading on a retina screen is very appealing. I think maybe my main reason for not immediately jumping is because when I attribute value to an app/media item I inevitably want my moneys worth, and the main problem with the Guardian is that I don't always like the sneery ideological tone it occasionally carries. I can feel as wound-up as I do with the Daily Mail in bizarrely similar way! If I was drawn closer (by subscribing) I would feel a little uneasy about being a bedfellow. That says more about me than you, but there you go, feedback is feedback.

I am, however, a long term fan of a bunch of stuff you produce - Bobbie Johnson's stuff is sorely missed, the whole Media Talk team is tremendous (just mis-typed that on iphone and it autosuggested 'treasonous'). Rusbridger is always worth listening to.

I nearly said something saucy about Gibson but I self-regulated it.

I will probably go and buy it now, but my gut feeling is that at £2.99 it probably fits with me better for a year - mainly because of my relationship with the product."

Postscript:
I thought to myself whether I would go for a similar app by the Times. The answer, bizarrely, is yes. For some reason I always enjoy the tone and there are a number of people who I like a lot - Aaronovitch, Moran, Brookes and Morland¹. Although I feel suspicious of the NIMurdoch institutional shadow, this paper somehow doesn't feel like it suckles off of that particular teat. Agreed, I am a confused person.

¹Mort Morland and Peter Brookes are in my mind at the top of their game cartoonistically (is that a word?). Since the paywall came up I have missed them sorely.
