Pulse for iPhone and iPad
The goal of this project is to design and construct an unofficial client for Neudesic's Pulse product. The application that is being built here is unofficial because it is a hobby project that is being used to serve three purposes:
- Learn how to program against the Pulse API
- Experiment with ideas for developing an iOS application around Pulse
- Serve as an example to other Pulse users how the Pulse API can be used to integrate with Pulse
As a Neudesic employee, Pulse is a product that I use quite frequently in my daily job and activities, both from contributing to pulse as well as receiving news about my job or collaborating with my teammates. Besides the learning aspect of this project, I also hope to build a tool with the features that I think will be helpful in allowing me to use Pulse more effectively.

About Pulse
Pulse is an enterprise social platform built by Neudesic, LLC, for companies to use to facilitate collaboration amongst the enterprise. Originally inspired by the momentum of sites like Facebook and Twitter, among others, Pulse allows the sharing of information amongst employees and also facilitates communication between team members more effectively than email.
