Ashton Kutcher is using Zapd. Well, he did once on Facebook last week. See?

On screen he’s quite the comedian, but in the start-up world he’s no joke. Ashton has substantial Twitter presence and savvy. True to the best qualities of a successful entrepreneur, he’s currently taking what he knows and turning it into a consumable product. A+ is a free desktop app that offers a customized-by-Ashton view of Twitter’s all-encompassing flow of information. Choose from a few categories of pre-loaded streams like art, social or sports. Half of the app’s “stage” is for the themed feeds, the other half is for viewing webpage content.

Designing a great piece of software isn’t easy. We’re happy to provide a little “brain break” for our fellow developer. Also, we might be a little jealous of his support crew.

We’re happy to welcome Ashton Kutcher into the ranks of Zapd users. We’ve almost reached 300,000 downloads – amazing! Watching the Zapd feed is a fascinating slice of life, and we can’t wait to see what comes up next. Lady Gaga? Obama? Bueller? Bueller?
