We've officially launched support for
Facebook Pages. You can now add your
Facebook fan pages as you would
any other service we support. What does this mean to you? Well, if you're a business, artist, celebrity, public figure or any other entity that has a fan page for your people to come hang out with you on Facebook, then now you can not only update your Facebook profile status, but your messages will be syndicated to your fan page as well.
If you're still a bit lost, head on over to our
fan page to see what they're all about.
In addition to this slick update, we've added some new message posting options to more personalize your posts. We're talking about tagging and mooding.
What, you say?!
Tons of users have asked for the ability to tag posts with tags they specify to help them catalog the posts on the various services they are using. We've done work, and now you can reap the benefits!
Tagging is now a part of your everyday pinging experience. Posting photos, links, blogs; if you post it, you can tag it.
Click here to learn all there is to know about tagging your posts.
As well as tagging, be sure to check out how to also
include mood tags in with posts. Now you can tell everyone how you feel with as little effort as possible (or something).
Last but not least, we bring you to a nice little gem we just added as of last night. With the vast improvements to the
user dashboard we are rolling out, we decided to go ahead and sneak one of the updates into production so you can get busy with it.
We've added a new icon above the post form that resembles a music note. If you were to click this cute little button, you will be presented with a screen that allows you to attach songs to your messages you post. Cool huh?
Let us introduce you to
Grooveshark. Grooveshark is this awesome web service that allows anyone and everyone to search for music and play it straight from their website. Their library is intense too. We've had quite a hard time
not finding songs we want to hear. And the best part about their service is that it's
FREE.
Yes, absolutely free. You don't even have to sign up to search and listen (though you probably should).
This is just a tip of the iceberg on the up and coming user dashboard improvements. So, you will be seeing more very soon.
Don't forget to tell your friends!
Be safe, and keep up the ping.
