January 2009New post tagging features
We just released a few nifty features you should try out!
Geotagging - When you post to Zannel you can now geotag your post with a location. This associates location information to a post so you or other users can see it on a map by clicking on that tag. You can automatically add a geotag to your post by using an iPhone or our iPhone Citywatch application. Or, if you have another mobile handset, add the information to the end of your post yourself by adding the #@ (or #at) tag followed by location information. The geotag must be the last thing in your post in order for it to be recognized by the Zannel system. So, valid Zannel geotags would look like this:
- #@ 113 Stillman Street, San Francisco CA
- #@ 94107
- #@ San Francisco, CA
Username mentions - Now when you write @username in a comment or a post, not only will that name become a clickable link to that users channel, that user will also be notified in their feed that they’ve been referenced in a post. Give it a try!
Keywords - Make your posts more searchable by adding keywords. Add a #keyword to the end of the post, where the word “keyword” is something that relates to your post, like #dogs, #food, #birthday, or whatever. If you see a #keyword in another post, you can click it to see all the other posts with that same keyword.
So, get busy adding tags, @username mentions, and location information to expand the reach of your Zannel posts. We’ll be looking for that post that says: Hey @zannel, eating some #chocolate here at #@ 123 Main Street, 11456
