Introducing... The New Activity Star

Now there's a new and easy way to see the maps that have been recently added to. Look for that bright and shiny yellow star next to the map title. If you're lucky enough to find one, you can rest assured something's new!

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!

New Version (now with API!)

Posted by Matt Thu, 11 May 2006 16:10:00 GMT

Things were getting a bit dusty around here so we decided to push a new version of Flagr.

In this release we added a truly RESTful API. You can search for flags, retrieve a specific flag or create a new flag. A client from MobileGlu, which incorporates the API will be coming out shortly. We hope they are the first which take advantage of our API. Just let us know when you create a super sweet mashup and we'll post it here.

We also changed up the friends page a bit. We added the ability to find people that live near you. So go out and make a new friend today.

Comments! All in one place...

Hey All!
Check out the new comments page! Now you can finally see who has said what about your flags. Visit: http://flagr.com/comments/[enter username here] or click the link from your summary page.

The page gives you the option to see comments since you've last signed in, since last week, or all of them. Here's a screenshot:

We've also rebuilt the bug and wishlist system, so it no longer looks like it fell off the ugly tree...As always, let us know what you think! And ask for free stickers! (see below)
