Skype, Intl. SMS, HootSuite & Notify.me

It's been a little bit since we had one of these rad update blogs. So, here it is. This one will be extra special too. Not only are we announcing some new features, we're also announcing some really cool application integrations that have just hit the circuit.

First off, let me go into what's new at Ping.fm. We've taken two of the most requested features wanted by you guys and made them happen. Not saying that this will be all. This is just the tip of the up and coming iceberg monster of features we will be pouring out in the coming weeks. This is merely a sample of awesome!

First, we've ramped up our SMS services to now support posting SMS messages from inside of Europe. That's right, all you pingers from across the pond can now use an international number to ping your pingy goodness! We're sorry it took so long to get this rolling. We had to spend a lot of time researching the best way to make this happen. Luckily @DanLane came to the rescue and provided us an awesome solution for taking care of you guys. So, be sure to give him a tip and a follow for being so resourceful and technologically advanced. Hats off to you!

Second, we've created a Skype posting bot. Now, in addition to our army of other bots, you can add Skype to that list. Cool, huh?

Now that we've gone over what's new with us, let's talk about what's new with some other guys we've been working with.

Everyone, meet notify.me and HootSuite. These are some of the awesome new integrations we have on our developer API.

Why should you care? This is why!


So, there you have it. HootSuite is incredible. And, no, they aren't paying for that plug!

So yeah, now let's talk about notify.me. One of the biggest requests from users is having the ability to feed in your social network timelines. With notify.me, your problems are pretty much solved.

notify.me has this crazy little app that allows you to syndicate any sort of feed from any type of source and have it stream back to you however you want. E-mail, IM, SMS, apps, widgets...anything you use regularly, you can have your updates delivered to it. Think of it like a digital paperboy, bringing all your internet goodness right to your eDoorstep. Lovely, isn't it?

With all of this being said, you should gear up and check these guys out. I know you're all about the latest and greatest and they've definitely hit the nail on the head.

Thanks to @GeraldBuckley and his office space hook up, we are in prime time feature-crank-out mode and will be flooding the pingosphere with awesome awesome.

Yeah, that's right, awesome awesome.

Stick around pingers, it's starting to get real good.
