UpNext - Twitter & Facebook Updates

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

We think UpNext 3D NYC is a great platform for exploring and discovering venues. So we also wanted to make it easy to share these places with friends and followers.

It is easy to update your Twitter feed or Facebook status with your location or information about a business through UpNext.

First, find the venue you want to share and go to the VENUE INFO window.

In the bottom left, there is an ACTION icon. Simply tap this icon and you will be given an option to update Twitter or Facebook.

Note: You must be logged into each respective account before we can send an update. We do not store this login information. It is passed directly to Twitter or Facebook for authentication.

Facebook: Go to –> MY PLACES –> ACCOUNT –> login using Facebook Connect.

Twitter: Exit the application and go to –> SETTINGS (on your iPhone) –> UpNext (scroll down to find it, it will be near the bottom) –> At the bottom is a field to enter your Twitter Logins.

Once logged in, you are ready to update your status. Simply tap on the service you wish to update. You are now given a pre-populated field with the business name and address to input your message.

Simply tap done when you are finished with your update and it will be sent to Twitter or Facebook.

Use this feature however you please but if you are unsure what to say, some examples are given below.

Ost Cafe (441 E. 12th St) sitting at the counter, writing a post for @upnext blog. This one will have them rolling in the aisles.

Babbo (110 Waverly Pl) @radvani7 you got to try this place. Best Italian in the city. Tell them @dam00n sent you and you will get absolutely nothing since they don’t know who I am.

Soho House (29 9th Ave) @betaworks is here looking for their next big investment. They must have seen that I was here.

Have fun with it and we hope you find it useful. (And yes, there is more to come with this feature in future updates.)

UpNext Map Permalink: Email, Blogs, Twitter, Tumblr

Monday, November 24th, 2008

At UpNext, we try to make it easy for you to explore and discover this great city of New York. Users love how they can intuitively find places to eat, drink, shop, sleep, and more. We recently added a feature so you can share your finds with others.

You can now create a map permalink and share it with your friends. Here is an easy step by step tutorial.

1) Find the Place you want to share
Navigate the map and use the search bar, category medallions or activity buttons to find the business, landmark, intersection, or address you want to share.

2) Map Permalink

Click on “Map Permalink” button on the top right corner of the map

or

the “Send it to” button on the right side bar.

3) Customize the snapshot
- Select the size of your desired snapshot. A red box will appear which are the borders for the image size.
- Move the map to center your selection and to include any landmarks or streets you think are appropriate.
- Click “Create Snapshot” to capture.


(The example above shows the new Shake Shack on the Upper West Side. We have included the street names as well as the Natural History Museum on the right for context.)


4) Share the map permalink

- Copy the URL and send it in an email

- Copy the embed URL and post it to your blog

- Send the image along with a message directly to your Tumblr

- Post a Twitter message with the map url included

These permalinks are great for adding visual locations to messages. Here are some example of the permalinks in use. Twitter Example, Tumblr Example

If you come up with or see any other creative uses for UpNext permalinks, please let us know in the comments.
