Instagram app update adds image tagging with Photos of You feature

Posted by admin in News on May 2, 2013

The latest Instagram app update has been announced. This update brings a new feature called Photos of You, which is said to be the answer to the question of who. To give a bit of a background on that, the folks at Instagram have said he Photo Map answers the where and the captions and hashtags answer the what. With that in mind, Instagram users now have the Photos of You feature for the who.

Anyway, reasons as to why this was introduced aside, this basically means that you will be able to tag people in your images. You will be the only person able to add people to your images. But remember, while others cannot tag people in your images, they can tag their own images. For that, this is where the Photos of You section will come in handy.

The process of tagging is fairly simple. To tag an image as you are sharing it, you tap the Add People link from the Share screen. From here you tap a person in the image and then start typing their name or username. Alternatively, you can go back and edit previously uploaded images by visiting that image and tapping the “…” icon underneath the image. From here you tap the Add People link and start tagging.

The Photos of You feature will appear as a new section in your profile. This section will display any and all images that you have been tagged in. The silver lining here, users will be able to approve images before they begin appearing in their profiles. Otherwise, as this will likely be a feature either loved or hated, Instagram is giving you some lead time. They have said you have until May 16th to “play around and get used to the feature”before is becomes visible to others.

Instagram Updated To v3.5, Introduces ‘Photos Of You’ Tagging Feature

Posted by admin in News on May 2, 2013

For a photo sharing app, Instagram has long been missing one key feature: in-picture tagging. Fret no more, pic-a-holics (or stalkers) – as of today’s update to v3.5, the desire to find out who someone is a given picture is just got a little easier to satisfy thanks to the app’s new “Photos of You” feature.

In a nutshell, it’s just like Facebook’s tagging option: upload a photo, go through the typical filter features and social options, and tag away. You can even start tagging people in your past photos – just open the image and tap on the menu button, select the option to “add people,” and that’s pretty much it.

Bump’s photo-sharing Flock app now supports 15 languages

Posted by admin in News on April 18, 2013

Flock, Bump Technologies’ photo-sharing app, has just added localization for 15 different languages, gaining it potential international appeal. Founded by CEO David Lieb, Flock is essentially a photo-sharing app that collects photos taken within a certain location and remembers who you were with thanks to that aforementioned geo-tracking data. It’s similar to Highlight or even Color, except the app doesn’t need to be open. Instead, a push notification is sent to all users in attendance, giving them a choice to create a group album of shared photos.

Lieb tells us that it’s picked up some notable user stats since the app’s debut in July last year. Apparently more than 60 percent of the photos that Flock recommends are actually shared, and push notification response rates are around 40 to 50 percent. He also revealed that the average user gets around 33 photos from friends every week, while active users share 25 to 40 percent of all photos taken. It’s no wonder then that the company aims to widen its reach with added localization — after all, we know how well that’s worked for other social networks. Head on past the break to see Flock in action, or just download it yourself from the source. Added languages are iOS-only, with the Android version remaining monolingual for now.

Location-Based Photo Album App Swemos Enhances Usability with New Update

Posted by admin in News on March 18, 2013

Swemos – Create photo albums and travel journals
Developer: Antonius Knoflook
Price: $1.99 Download

Indie developer Develosophy is pleased to announce today’s release of Swemos version 1.1 with user interface improvements, bug fixes and iPad support to the App Store. Swemos is a location-based photo journal app that allows people to easily create and customize photo albums by turning their favorite photos into personal anecdotes that can be shared with friends and family via Facebook, Twitter, email, text or Bluetooth.

The proliferation of smartphones has made it incredibly easy for mobile users to capture seemingly infinite amounts of photos and videos, but it has also left users to deal with massive unorganized media archives stored on their devices. When photo-taking mobile users need to locate one specific photo, or find photos taken at a given event, it can be difficult. Swemos, shorthand for “sweet moments”, was created to help people remember the special occasions in their lives. Favorite photos can be titled & captioned to make personal anecdotes bundled into albums. Swemos is perfect for creating and sharing photo albums of trips, weddings, family time, or everyday moments that shouldn’t be forgotten.

“Swemos originated as a timesaving, attractive and independent way to keep track of and share your favorite experiences with friends and family,” said Tom Knoflook, founder of Develosophy and Swemos.

Photo albums in Swemos are completely customizable. Users create as many albums as they’d like from their favorite photos and can make every album unique with their choice of 60 stunning covers and 30 stylish paper backgrounds. Swemos users can use any of the iPhone or iPad’s available fonts when customizing their albums. A personalized title and caption can be added to each photo to make a unique and memorable anecdote (a ‘swemo’). Each swemo can be shared with title, photo, caption, timestamp and location. Albums created can easily be copied from users’ devices to be backed up or shared on other devices.

On import, Swemos automatically detects when and where photos were taken. Thumbnails of photos are saved instantly after importing and can be viewed on a map to allow users to recall their special moments and remind them of places they’ve visited. Locations of photos can be easily adjusted by dragging them on the map. No internet connection is required when composing anecdotes, so users are conveniently able to create and organize their albums offline and share their swemos when they are connected again.

Swemos Features:
* Create Photo Journals – Collect favorite photos in beautiful albums
* Make Sweet Memories – Perfect for vacations, weddings, family events, and more
* Personalize Easily – Choose from a variety of stylish covers and papers
* Make Many Albums – Unleash creativity and use any number of photos
* Send and Share – Show photo moments to friends by email, Facebook, Twitter, or Bluetooth

Version 1.1 Updated Features:
* User Interface Improvements
* Bug Fix for Expired Session in Facebook
* Japanese and Simplified Chinese Language Support
* iPad Support

Swemos Version 1.1 is offered at an introductory price of $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

Flickr updates iOS app with hashtags

Posted by admin in News on March 17, 2013

Flickr for iOS updated with hashtags

Flickr fans who are on an iPhone or iPad got a new update yesterday, and this update brought some really interesting feature to the table. Users are now able to hashtags to their photos. Hashtags, which was created by Chris Messina, has been very symbolic to Twitter till now. But lately, a few more online services have started using this very popular technique of tagging. This is because this particular method is very efficient in searching for content you are looking for.

And if you have used Flickr and tried searching for a particular set of photos from an event or the kind, you would know that you would end up with a totally random set of photos. This becomes very irritating and annoying as this keeps happening each and every time. But now, the service will be a delight to use.

And according to the various discussions about this topic going on on the internet, Yahoo owned Flickr decided to support hashtags now due to the news that Facebook will soon start supporting the technology as well.

Now, users of Flickr will not only be able to use these hashtags in the title of the photos that they will upload, but they will able to able to add hashtags to the descriptions of the photos and use these hashtags in search queries on the service. But being a Flickr user, I can say that even though the company is officially announcing the support of hashtags now, users of the service have been using hashtags on the service for a long time now. Even if you start searching the service with random hashtags, you will definitely get random results.

So if you have an iOS device with Flickr installed on it, update the app if you have not yet done it, and then check out the new hashtags.

One of the cooler announcements to come out of HTC’s launch of the One was their new Zoe software that works hand-in-hand with the phone’s camera. When turned on, the One takes photos and video surrounding the snapshot and puts them all together in a collage called a Highlight to give you a more in-depth [...]

Muro – Web Platform for Social Event Photography

Posted by admin in News on February 20, 2013

Muro
Developer: Muro Labs Pty. Ltd.
Price: free Download

After you have a party, if you don’t have an official photographer, you commonly spend the next few weeks asking your friends for all the photos they took while they were there. This is a long and painful process, and you often don’t get all the photos. Even if you do have an official photographer, it’s nearly impossible to capture all the moment’s, and it’s not particularly social.

Muro aims to solve the problem of photo fragmentation at events and has 3 main features, all of which are free of charge. The iPhone app, allows you to “check in” to a nearby event, see all of the photos there, contribute, and also see what your friends are doing (with Facebook integration). The live interactive slideshow, typically displayed on a large TV or projector is an optional extra, but one which drives more engagement, and spices up any event by displaying photos the instant they are taken. Once the event is over, the host can log in to the website and download all the images in one go, or simply just view the online album.

Muro has been part of the new Startup Incubator program, INCUBATE, which has been running throughout the summer at the University of Sydney, it is the first on campus incubator program of it’s kind in the Asia/Pacific Region. INCUBATE provides the University of Sydney students, researchers and recent alumni with the exciting opportunity to realise high-potential startups on campus.

Muro has a large variety of use cases, from Weddings to Nightclubs, and has been successfully used at professional events to connect new business relationships. As well as connecting people on social media, Muro is also a great conversation starter to get people interacting with one another at your event. Perhaps you could run a Muro-powered ‘Selfie Booth’ or have different check points around the event where people have to take photos – the possibilities are endless.

Muro 1.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.

Foursquare adds tips and photos to shared mobile links for non-members

Posted by admin in News on February 12, 2013

In a continuing effort to be more of a discovery and recommendation engine, Foursquare has updated the mobile version of its place pages with more information for non-members. In the past, whenever users of the location-based app shared info about a place via Twitter, Facebook, email or text, friends without the app would be led to a relatively barebones link with details like the address, phone number and not much else. Now that mobile-friendly page is spruced up with all-important tips and photos, which makes that sharing function infinitely more useful for would-be shoppers and diners who aren’t into the whole Foursquare thing just yet. Of course, there’s that not-so-subtle “Download the App” hint at the top right to nudge them that direction, but that’s entirely unnecessary if all your friends want are suggestions on which kind of nigiri they should get at that hot new sushi bar.

Instagram launches a real website, brings your photo feed to the web

Posted by admin in News on February 5, 2013

After being available for nearly two years now, Instagram has finally released a real website for everyone to enjoy photos and ‘art’ uploaded from all their friends. Previously we haven’t had a full web experience like the mobile app for Android and iOS offered, but today that all changes. Instagram has just announced their official webpage.

Now the more than 90 million and growing Instagram users will be able to access and view their own photos, as well as all their friends on the web just as they’ve previously done on the app. For some reason this has always been missing and the focus was purely on mobile, but now that Facebook is in charge that’s a changing.

Late last year Instagram.com was opened up and you could view profiles and see images, but that was all. Now you’ll be able to see everyone you follow and all the photo feeds just like the app. Instead of just purely for profile page views.

“Your Instagram Feed on the web functions much like it does on your mobile phone. You can browse through the latest photos of people whom you follow with updates as people post new photos. Like photos by double clicking on them or pressing the like button.” — Kevin Systrom, Co-founder.

Nothing really too new or exciting here, as they’ve just expanded the website to be a real page instead of just profiles only. Most users will still opt to view and like photos on the mobile apps, but if you’re on the PC you’ll be able to enjoy the same experience — something that should have been available long ago. So for all those photography and Instagram fans, give it a try today.

This Awesome Homescreen Uses Photos Of Real Objects As App Icons, Is Beautiful

Posted by admin in News on January 14, 2013

Forget skeuomorphism. Why do we need things that look like objects if we can just use actual objects? That’s what reddit user and notable George Bruns ballad davy_crockett thought. Using a combination of Apex launcher‘s ability to resize the icon grid and MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to use multiple photos for different homescreens, he created a layout that’s made up entirely of real-world things. Want to play music? Tap the headphones. Need the clock? Hit the watch! It’s that simple.

The neat thing about this concept, though, is that if you want to do it yourself, there are virtually no limits to how much different your homescreens can be to this one.
