We’ve released support for Foursquare as a Pixelpipe destination today! You can now shout out to your followers from any Pixelpipe application with a shortened pi.pe link back to a photo, video or audio file included in the post. These shouts can be combined with any other service we offer as a destination. Posting a sound clip to audioboo & foursquare at the same time to share a clip recorded at the SXSW show you’re watching would be an example of how you might combine services.
Better yet for Android users we’re now allowing you to check-in to Foursquare venues directly from our application at the time of upload. Just use the “Share to” feature & select Foursquare as the venue, we’ll automatically pull up a list of venues in the area. It’s no problem if your venue isn’t found, just use the handy search list to expand the list of choices in the area. This feature is available now in Pixelpipe 2.0.3 and above for Android, and coming soon to other supported mobile platforms.
While we’re big fans of Foursquare here at Pixelpipe we’ve always thought the text only experience was a bit limiting. We’re excited to help you to share your experiences with your followers with links to media and direct check-ins from Android. Now it’s your turn, let’s see what you create.
Here’s an overview of the new features:
- Check-in to a Foursquare venue with linked media (text, photo, video, audio or a file) with Pixelpipe 2.03 or above for Android.
- Automatic foursquare:venue_id machine tags to Flickr when checking in to foursquare and uploading to Flickr (Android only)
- Check-in directly after capture with Share to feature from the built-in camera application (Android only).
To kick things off we’re offering Pixelpipe Pro for Android free of charge for direct download. Just visit http://tr.im/pixelpipe from your Android Phone to install the latest and start uploading photos, video & audio to over 100 services including Foursquare.
For our iPhone, Palm Pre & Nokia users you’ll still be able to shout out to their friends with media however you will not be able to check-in at this time. This functionality is similar to a few other apps that are offering photo links in shouts however expands the functionality to support video, audio & even files in the post.
Enjoy!
