New Hootsuite iPhone App 1.1.0- Where is it?

So this is so weird. This afternoon, I was given an update for the iPhone Hootsuite app. The updates said “just bug fixes,” but its so much more!!!

This update has some great new features, geotagging, Reply to all… it keeps track of your last users in a contact page for easy reference… sort of like tweetdeck. There is a translate tweet function also. This new version, version 1.1.0, allows you to integrate facebook also. Very slick.

Here are screen shots to prove it. Whats odd, is at 9:00 PM CST, I seem to be the only person talking about this… well @rosslarocco and I are talking about it.  But no hootsuite blog activity, no talk about it on twitter. The hootsuite paid app has been pulled from the itunes app store, the lite version is still available 1.0.6.

Whats going on? Am I an unsuspecting beta tester?

Red Shoes Speaks No. 21 FourSquare Applications in Business

Lisa Cruz and Tommy Clifford talk about applications of FourSquare in business. Tommy recently became mayor of the local North Shore Bank. They sent him a letter rewarding him on his accomplishment. How cool is that? Is your business keeping an eye on who is “checking in” at your business? Are you thinking of ways to participate in the conversation?

Welcome to the United States

I’m such a softy. Ultimate softy. I have no idea why I am the way I am, but when the customers agent said “welcome to the United States!” I got teary. Maybe its all the time away from home and missing my family, maybe its pride, but one thing is it’s not any less pride and love for my great hosts here in Vancouver. I love Canada, make no mistake, but my home is my home and I miss it so.
