Updates on the Pikchur service and what the Pikchur crew are up to

Adding Sprinkulz to your Pikchur Caek

So I bet you guys are wondering what we actually do here @ Pikchur besides drink beer and watch Diggnation? Well, we eat cake, oh and release features from time to time.

Some of these delightful treats include

  • Friends / Followers
  • Edit Pik Data
  • Activity Stream, a stream of activities of you and the people you follow (Piks, Follows, Comments). The Activity Stream can be found in your dashboard. :)
  • Upgraded comment system.
  • Optimized API
  • Optimized Pikchur Message Queueing System
  • And much more (you’ll just have to look closely)

….

Here is a more detailed look at some of the features from the list:

Friends / Followers / Activity Streams


You can now follow and have people follow you back on Pikchur.

Follow your friends Public Pikchur activity, Piks, comments, and new followings.

We also made our comments a lot smarter! Now when you leave a comment on a Pikchur, a link back is included  as well as the option of embedded @’s to services that don’t support threaded conversations (or have limited support for them). This eliminates out of context status updates.


So for example , I send a pik, (@Orical) and you leave a comment of “Nice pik”, we will, if enabled add the @Orical Nice Pik <link back>  to your outgoing comment. This pretty much  eliminates all out of context conversations.

There are a bunch of more features we just added, so come join us!
