With the new version you can identify missed calls and unknown numbers by swiping down in the widget directly on your homescreen. Adding information from your social media channels is now possible for iOS users too. Android users have already had this functionality since December.

So You’re The __ is an oddly compelling experiment created by Ramsay Lanier, which encourages you to call out the funniest/coolest/best/worst/weirdest folks on Twitter.
