Kwippy has fireeagle integration now …. and all done in 2 days flat. The API is not that stable to be honest, but has the potential for greatness.

The kwippy integration basically has a small signup application that is independent of the main app, there is a signup page which integrates and then the rest is in the parent application. I should be posting a picture here, but too lazy he he ….

So here i post to introduce yet another short URL service  …. snipper.in

So i started this service for fun, built it in a record 3 hours he he … will open-source the code by the weekend. The service is dead simple  … you get a short url and you can view stats about how many click / last 5 IPs who clicked.

example:

http://www.kwippy.com/rane/kwips/2008/aug/05/121113/ has the short url  http://snipper.in/y

you can view the stats of the link at http://snipper.in/y/stats

API:

It has a simple rest based API http://snipper.in/geturl?url=[your url]

example: http://snipper.in/geturl?url=http://www.kwippy.com/dipankar

Well, i will add more features with time … till then njoi snipping

We need more people , feel free to invite your friends too  ….

After a long struggle to write something interesting, i have finally released an uncut version of my twitter anagram bot. This bot can be found here at http://twitter.com/anagram101 . This took some homework initially, now i intend to make this bot healthier coz it seems to freak out with some encoding issue in the wordlist .

This is looking fun to use, so i really think you all guys out there will njoi it as well. Keep twittering and kwippying away to glory.

 What is kwippy? – a micro/nanoblogging webapp + IM status logger + social network
Why another microblogging app when there are already plenty out there? – There is twitter, pownce, jaiku, and 10 other similar ones. Though all of these promote small posts, each has a different kind of social network.

On twitter you mostly meet strangers. By strangers I mean people you don’t know in the real world. It’s like barcamp, or a conference where you go partly to network. You meet fellow bloggers, marketeers, and people from your field. Yes friendships may grow among them, but mostly there are subtle motives behind the tweets. From promoting your blog, selling your product, showing your expertise, etc.

Pownce is geared more towards file sharing, sharing media (youtube, mp3s) etc. And it has an AIR instant messenger kind of software which makes it a little closer to an Instant Messeger.

In kwippy, the whole focus is on the Instant Messenger. The friends list on the instant messenger is the most intimate friends list you can find, of all social networks. It gives the people in the list immediate access to your attention. People share their joys (i got a raise), sorrows (i flunked my english papers), their favorite links, and thousand other things through their status messages. And all these people also have a list of their closest friends on their list. And like in the real world when a real friend introduces you to another person, the chances that you hit it off are greater. There’s this trust thing which is automatic.

So there – kwippy has a social network which gets real friends, friends you could meet. And it stores all your status messages, which become your emotional timeline.

We have been working on it since some time, and now it is in testing. If you would like to check it out, and give your invaluable suggestions for improvement, either go to kwippy.com, or comment here.
