Guiding Shadow now with Flickr and Picasa Web Albums Integration

Since our launch, we are getting a stream of valuable feedback from our users. Thanx a lot for the feedback and suggestions. We are constantly working to add new features requested by our users.

Today, I am excited to announce the release of few new features.

Flickr and Picasa Web Integration

Bothered about uploading trip photos multiple times on different sites? No worries ! Guiding Shadow allows users to add photos in their trip album directly from popular photo storage sites (Flickr and Picasaweb). Just integrate your Flickr and Picasaweb accounts with your Guiding Shadow account. We’ll fetch all your photos; select the photos you wish to add into your trip album and its done. Your trip album is populated.

View Trip Invitations status

Now you can check the pending ‘trip invitations’ sent by you in your settings page. You can also resend the invitation to join the trip directly from the settings page.

We appreciate any feedback on these features …

  1. Hi,
    I got few suggestions for you folks. Since you guys are startup I understand limitations attached but you may want to consider following things.

    - No Search option on home page? It should have been ubiquitous all through the site.
    - No Map integration? I think this introduces a lot of ease to identify the travel path.
    - Wiki sort of user pages (itinerary). Which allows user to link to other online resources. For example lonelyplanet.com, wikipedia etc.
    - Trip/places should be grouped so that users can explore panoramio for geo tagged images.
    - Exposing developer API :)

    You might want to imbibe few things from

    ** I haven’t really signed up so I might stand wrong on some of the things.

  2. Hi chandan,
    Thanks for your suggestions.
    Wiki sort of pages for itinerary is a good one and I would like to think about that.
    Regarding other features you mentioned, we will try to get them up in our next release.

    Do signup and let us know your experience.
