Check in support for Foursquare, Gowalla and Brightkite

The check-in hype is all around us, but how fun is it to only check in at a venue? Why not check in with a live broadcast?

For a while we have been testing this on Foursquare and Brightkite and we are now adding Gowalla to our portfolio of supported check-in services.

To check in with a live broadcast you need to connect Bambuser with the service of your choice, which you can do on your dashboard. When you start a live broadcast you can choose Share, the service you want to check in through (i.e. Foursquare) and then choose the location you want to check in to!

Updated app for iPhone

The latest release of our iPhone app, version 1.7.2, brings our live broadcasting experience to the iPod Touch fourth generation, includes support for the front facing camera on the iPhone4 (requires iOS 4.1) as well as support for sharing your broadcasts using SMS.

To share your current broadcast to friends via sms, simply tap on the Share icon and choose SMS.

As always, you can get the latest version from iTunes.

Private sharing is here!

We're finally ready to launch a first version of this feature that countless of our great users have requested. The sharing concept is based on your Facebook friends lists and as of today, users that have connected their Bambuser accounts to Facebook will be able to share private broadcasts to selected friends. It works like this:

When you start a private broadcast, the Bambuser application will fetch available friend lists from your Facebook profile.
When you chose "share" and then "Facebook" the Bambuser app will show a list of friend lists you can share to. Simply click on one or more friend lists that you'd like to give access to your broadcast.
Your friends will be asked to confirm their identity to start watching (this only needs to be done once).

The rationale for using Facebook is that many have their friends listed there already, which lowers the barrier of sharing, compared to if you had to ask all your friends to create a Bambuser account first. If you don't use Facebook, hang in there. It's likely that we add support for sharing between Bambuser accounts as well down the road.

So off you go now and stream birthdays, confirmations, holidays, weddings or even love songs to your special one(s) :-)
