We have release more features at Ipoki. Now you can include any Ipoki map as a Widget at your Apple Dashboard and now is easier to add these maps to your Netvibes page. Only in just 2 mouse clicks.

We also have released Twitter application for Ipoki. Now you can see your twits as Ipoki comments and you can twit from the Ipoki plugin and the Ipoki comments. This is the first version and we are very excited because we think geolocated twits can be very useful.

To activate this new feature you have to go to your privacy settings and give you Twitter username and password. Afterwards you have to choose what kind of integration you want to do.

Enjoy it!

The new server of Ipoki is on. We have a new option to share your position only with friends and is the profile that we have put to all users. If you want the Ipoki “follow me” embedded on your website or in your blog, you have to go into the privacy settings and configure your position as public.

After several weeks working we have ready the new version of the system. We have also a new server and will change our name from hipoqih to ipoki, in order to make it easier.

On Wednesday, December the 19^th at 21:00 the hipoqih server will stop. We estimate that in one hour everything will be working again, and the migration of the data will result transparent for users. The plugins of version 0.2 will keep working with the new system. The new version has a lot of improvements and I hope you like it. You are going to get more information on users’ profile and more options for privacy.

All this from Thursday at 0:00

And finally I would like to express my appreciation to all the team that supports ipoki for their effort and the enthusiasm they are putting on it. It is a pleasure to work with them.

We are happy to announce the release of the hipoqih widget/gadget for netvibes and igoogle

The way it works is pretty simple:

• Get the netvibes module here or the igoogle module here

• Click on the ‘edit’ button and add the ‘Follow me link’. (You’ll find that one in the email we sent you. It looks like this: http://www.hipoqih.com/whereis.php?clave=kHRjEgd_Q-LVtMphTw_q )

• Enjoy

There are more modules to come, including the Facebook one, stay tuned!

From today it is possible to see where is any hipoqih user in Google Earth. Just click on “Dowload KML” button in the new Follow Me page. Your browser will start to download the KML file and you can open it in Google Earth or save it and send to everyone you want. We also have changed the way to use the follow me service. Instead of setting up how long it lasts, now you can activate or deactivate it like a switch.

Also it is possible to do a public “Follow me” with a very simple URL using the user name, for example:

http://x.hipoqih.com/tatexo (from a PC)
http://m.hipoqih.com/tatexo (from a mobile device).

We hope you will enjoy these new features and we welcome your comments and suggestions.
