We’ve just released a new feature that will help you use Social Whale with your favorite url shortening service. So if you do not like our default service you can use one from the bellow:

  • twt.gs
  • tinyurl.com
  • is.gd
  • digg.com
  • bit.ly
  • snipurl.com
  • tr.im
  • budurl.com
  • cli.gs
  • su.pr
  • l2s.gr

Bellow is a video demonstrating the new feature, and how you are using it. In case we missed your favorite url shortening service, let us know so we can add it too :)

What about posting at twitter, facebook, identica, myspace and friendfeed with one click?

Today we are blogging live from the Vodafone Greece devCamp. To make this event even better we’ve just released a new feature to our application which we are going to insert in our Betavine client at the developer workshop today.

From now on you can use Social Whale to send status updates in all your favorite social networks. At the moment this new feature is available for twitter, facebook, identica, myspace and friendfeed. In addition this new feature allows you to connect to other social networks as well, something that will be used to your extended profile page (the extended profiles is under construction so expect a post here later about it)

For instructions how to use this new feature just watch the video:

What comes up next? Well we are about to play more with social networking services and give you the ability to read your streams from them as you do for twitter now. In other words we will try to expand our service and make it an one stop place for all your social media needs. As this is a feature under development you can help/participate by letting us know of your opinion. Any idea is more than welcome, and after all Social Whale is a community web site, meaning that your opinion really matters to us :)

Social Whale now has user lists

A new feature that many of our users asked has been just released, user lists. With this new feature you can group your friends to lists and then fetch custom timeline feeds.

For instance you can create a list with your close friends and when you need to know what are they doing you can just check without visiting every individual’s account separately. This may be handful for people that have many friends in twitter.

Bellow is a video that demonstrates how user lists work. Hope you will enjoy this new feature. More are coming soon :)

New feature: Hashtag definitions

September 1, 2009, Filed under: Features — Tags: , , — Nick Papanotas @ 1:24 pm

Today we’ve released a new feature, the hashtag definitions. Whenever there is a hashtag in your feed, there will be a little “info” icon which you can click and get more information about the hashtag (definition and statistics)

Bellow is a video demonstrating how this works:

This feature is powered by what the hashtag, a service that is dedicated to provide more information about twitter hashtags.
