Gowalla Finders |
Finding and letting you know about spots, pins, trips, countries, states, events and more with new custom art on Gowalla! We'll try to post everything as soon as we find it, and update custom spot posts throughout the day should more be added. Trips and pins we'll keep as separate posts unless they come out in a batch for a certain brand. With events we'll schedule them to post on the day of the event at 8am local time to where they're being held. Got a tip? - gowallafinders at gmail dot com |
Gowalla uploaded this image to their server this morning.
It’s not visible on the site, or in the app yet from what we can tell. But it means the time is almost here for us to be able to get our hands on the data they said we’d be able to download.
We’re just speculating here, but we might also be able to import that data into Facebook.
Yesterday it was announced that Gowalla founder and CEO Josh Williams since moving over to Facebook had been working on new Timeline API’s that let developers integrate new features such as friend-tagging, photos and check-ins.
These new features sound great, in theory you could would have been able to checkin on Gowalla, tag a Facebook friend (without them having, or getting a Gowalla account from doing so) share a bunch of pictures from both services and others, and it would all be streamlined as if everyone was using the same app.
Timelines a clever feature, so if in the past you pushed your checkins to Facebook, it might now be able to pull in all the photos you added to those checkins too, and maybe connect those with friends who checked in at the same time..
Like we said, it’s all speculation. But this might be why it’s taken Gowalla so long to sort out the data export. They might have been waiting for this.

We’re not going to drag this post out.
We said back in December that we’d make roundup posts out of all of the artwork, like the custom stamp one we made. We’ve been slow at doing so, sure, but there’s been little drive to do so at the same time what with there being no Gowalla anymore.
So here’s the next post, as promised.
All that city guide artwork that Gowalla created, including the ones that didn’t seem to make it out before they were acquired by Facebook.
We’ve not bothered linking them to the guides this time, the new ones you’ve not seen before didn’t go anywhere anyway. But they’re all still nice to look at.
That’s it for this time. There’s a couple more posts planned, we’ll get round to them, sometime.
