We just released another way for you to update any Thing on Thingfo! As the title of the post says, you can now use Twitter to update any Thing, from your favorite web app, or from your cell phone or mobile device. There are tons of possibilities, now that you can update Things wherever you are.

Here’s just one example: Let’s say you’ve added your favorite neighborhood coffee shop as a Thing. Next time you’re there, you can send a text to @thingfo and update the coffee shop with an experience, a comment, or both… and connect with the community you’ve created live and in person.

Or, you’re a teacher. You want to interact with an auditorium full of students, and you want to archive the responses and share them with the room. You’d create a Thing on Thingfo, maybe it’s “Lecture 3: The Rise and Fall of Rome”. Your students can send their questions, comments, and experiences to your Lecture 3 page, whether they are sitting in the classroom in person, or watching a video broadcast on the web.

Here is a page with the details on how to update any Thing from Twitter. You’ll also notice a new module on the upper right corner of the Thing pages with info on how to update that specific Thing.  Please note: it will take about a minute for your update to go from Twitter to your Thing.

We’ll continue adding new ways to create and update info for your Things. Please let us know of any questions, comments, or issues you have with the new feature!

I also want to thank all the users for their suggestions and feedback to date. We’ve just released a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks, and are working on more. Quick summary: You can now find an “add thing” button on any page, in the top right of the nav bar. (Thanks toddsampson!). We’ve labeled the said/did toggle more clearly at the bottom of the Thing page (Thanks johnsampson!). We put more people and Things on the front-page, and show more of your network activity on your page (Thanks gregc!). We’ve changed our handling of form tokens to make sure you can easily add content. (Thanks hipsmart). We’re working on more of your suggestions and will release them as soon as possible.

Please, keep the suggestions and feedback coming, and enjoy the new ability to update Things from anywhere!
