Today’s release is about our mobile interface which let you interact with all your favorite social networks through your iPhone, Nexus One or any other web enabled mobile interface you are using to browse the web. You can see for yourself in our mobile version.

As always, let us know if you experience any problem or if there is something we can do to make your mobile experience better.

The WPwhale pugin for wordpress

The WPwhale plugin is a wordpress plugin that allows you to interact directly with a Social Whale group from a wordpress page. Users can see status updates in real time and they can post to your group and twitter.

The plugin is open source (GPL license) so feel free to make your own adjustments and share them with our community.

Here is a screenshot from the plugin with the default style sheet:

You can see a demo at the wordcamp’s web site

Download

You can download the plugin from here. To install, follow the instructions in the readme file. We will update soon this post with more information regarding the project.

Here are some of the most important applications that we have at the moment:

Feed reader

With our feed reader application you can integrate Social Whale with your google reader account, and get new rss items as status updates.

Google Translate

When you activate this application, a new icon will appear in the statuses area which you can use to translate tweets in your language

Ignore Users

Some times you don’t want to get updates from a user for some time. With this application you can ignore this user’s tweets for as much as you want.

Post Later

Schedule status updates in the future. A really important feature for marketers.

Remove Spam Tweets

Bored of getting those “Get 400 followers per day” messages in your timeline? With this app you can ignore them once and for all

You can check our youtube account for videos demonstrating those new apps and we would like to hear your opinion on these applications. In case you have an idea for a new application let us know.

Best wishes for the new year that is in front of us

I don’t know many people who don’t have at least three social media accounts, and the majority of my friends have at least 8 accounts on sites like facebook, myspace, twitter, etc. (I know my friends are geeks like me )

Anyway for the Social Whale team social media rehab is not an option so we thought to solve the “real time web” problem with another way. We call it “social media integration” and it is actually a feature that allows you to interact with twitter, facebook, myspace, linkedin, friendfeed and identica from one place (you are guessing right, this place is social whale)

At the moment our service allows you to get status update streams from all the above services, and gives you the ability to post status updates to any of them, or just all of them at once! Of course there are still many things to get done but we are looking forward to have your feedback before expanding our service even further. So if you have any comments or suggestions please let us know. After all Social Whale is a community site and without your opinion it is no fun at all.

We hope this new feature will be welcomed by all of you.

To use the new feature just go to the “Settings” from the bottom menu and connect your account to a linkedin profile.

• Right click to any image or link on a page and get a short url
• right click on highlighted text and copy it to clipboard with the short url to active page

Of course all the features of the version 1 still apply.

Bellow is a video showing how it works. Feel free to download the new extension from here and let us know how do you like it in comments

• 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

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

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
