I'm guessing Studio Trigger will helm this project in the future. Another short series huh? This one looks cute though with those character designs.
Edit: Oh it looks like it will be by Trigger.

You can also add that it's also already got manga serialization in Manga Box by Yatsuki called Shoukan Desu ga!? Hacka Doll.
I'm using this app BTW, it's kinda fun.

The Hacka Doll app delivers a customized feed of news for each user. The user answers some simple questions when launching the app for the first time, and then the app will filter the news that caters to the user's personal interests — boys love (BL), cosplay, anime, manga, games, light novels, voice cast members, and more. With daily use, the app automatically analyzes and learns which news articles the user reads and recommends to further personalize the feed. |
For those who remember the early days of the dot-com, this is called push technology:
- Push, or server push, describes a style of Internet-based communication where the request for a given transaction is initiated by the publisher or central server. It is contrasted with pull/get, where the request for the transmission of information is initiated by the receiver or client.
Push services are often based on information preferences expressed in advance.
And it already had its 15 min of fame:
Emerging Technologies - The 6 phases of a technology flop
Slicing through the hype - Learning the telltale signs of an overhyped technology
- Push's 15 minutes of fame
Even in the compressed time frame of the high-tech world, the rise and fall of push technology was astonishingly rapid.
As 1997 began, push technology and the Java programming language arguably were riding the largest hype waves in the industry. Analysts and pundits were rhapsodizing about how push literally would redefine how we use the Internet.
By the fall, however, the industry's infatuation with push was over, soured by a growing awareness of the technology's limitations and a standards squabble between Microsoft and Netscape.
Rather than being a paradigm-shifter or a huge new market, push in the end became - for the vast majority of users - nothing more than a free browser feature.
Push evolved in direct response to user dissatisfaction with the limitations of Internet browsers and search engines. The premise behind push was simple: Instead of "surfing" endlessly through cyberspace for the information they need, users could have tailored information transmitted, or pushed, to their desktops via categorized channels.
Through most of 1996, the two companies generated almost all of the hype surrounding push. In the meantime, dozens of other start-ups clambered aboard the push bandwagon, hoping to make a killing in a hot market.
The push buzz grew louder in November 1996 at Comdex in Las Vegas. Push start-ups were among the stars of the show, and Netscape used the opportunity to unveil plans for incorporating the technology into its market-leading browser.
Within a few months, though, the push backlash began. Many users complained that their bandwidth-hogging push channels were causing their PCs to crash. For others, the novelty simply wore off, and information overload kicked in.
They also began fighting for control over push standards, a battle that made many users leery of betting money on the new technology.
By the end of 1997, most push vendors had gone out of business or were bought.

Looks interesting. I'm really curious about the app. Seems like it could be some fun.

Oh, that...I remember that. And feel a million years old.
After a while, I didn't care about filtering my news and just read whatever headlines were at the top of Yahoo or Google News.
Frankly, I'm more excited that Miss Monochrome and Yamishibai Ghost Stories are getting another short-season. 
(The latter hopefully with another AVtechNO/Miku ED theme.)

I'm hard-pressed to call a technology that's used on everybody's cell phone outdated.

Whats really scary (at least for me) is how MUCH detailed personal information is collected about you. And DO NOT think this information will stay in this app or with the company running this app.
While "online privacy" is basically a oxymoron these days, these type of push apps would be basically the final nail on the coffin.
And knowing all that, its STILL tempting. Ugh!

It's not about outdated; it's just not as it was hyped to be the best thing since sliced bread. This line pretty much said it all:
- Rather than being a paradigm-shifter or a huge new market, push in the end became - for the vast majority of users - nothing more than a free browser feature.

Have to say that sounded like someone who was in a time capsule for 10 years while said technology has proliferated.
Hackadoll, like most other mobile apps, rely on push no more than necessary. When you log in it actually pulls the data server-side and customize that sort of stuff for you. It is distinctly different than the typical RSS reader because it only updates three times a day, sort of like a newspaper app.
