A new way to Talk! A new way to Zoom!

Posted by Dave Fri, 28 Jul 2006 20:11:00 GMT

In the most recent push, we've added the ability to message other Flagr users. To send a message, simply visit the users profile page and click "Send this person a message"

Give it a shot...

In other news, we've also vastly improved the way in which you can move about the world on the flag's page. Now, there is a handy "zoom to" bar atop the map. You can enter a specific city you'd like to visit or choose from a list of popular destinations.


More cool things to come...

Flagr Mmmmaps!

Posted by Cole Thu, 20 Jul 2006 20:40:00 GMT



It's official and it's delicious - now you can group and share your flags with friends, anywhere!

What do you mean "anywhere?" Well, we mean that in two ways:

1. Share maps on any website
Maps can now me embeded on any website just like an online video. Just copy and paste the embed code into your site, blog, or profile.

2. Send flags to any map right from your phone.
Say hello to Mobile Map Codes. Every map has now a unique code, so you can send flags to specific maps from your phone. Just send the flag to [mapcode]@flagr.com instead of x@flagr.com. Pretty easy. Even better, if your phone can handle it, add maps as contacts so you don't have to remember the code.

Go ahead.. log-in and check it out!

Posted by Dave Thu, 22 Jun 2006 00:37:00 GMT


Doesn't get any better than this...Flagr was part of the feature article "MySpace Nation" in the July issue of PC Magazine (page 87). For those who can't read it, the copy is below. Flickr, YouTube and Rabble were also mentioned in the article.

"Flagr is a free social community themed around the sharing of geographical tidbits among friends. When you're out and about, just send a text message to x@flagr.com (the x is for "x marks the spot") with the name, location, description and even photos of where you are, and Flagr will place a flag with your info on a TeleAtlas map."
