LA-based HipGeo launched a new version of its iPhone app that makes it super-easy for travelers to track, document and share their trips. Available as a free download, the application is designed to let users post text, places and photos which are recorded, organized and displayed around a user’s travels or places graph.
Some of the “blogging-friendly” updates to the app include:
- A completely new blogging format with enhanced photo and map displays.
- Crowd sourced “place blogs”.
- New approach for users to consume all the travel content publicly uploaded to HipGeo, including content tagged as “nearby,” “featured” and “interesting.”
- New ability to follow other members of the HipGeo community, including trips in progress.
- New on-the-fly editing, sharing and privacy controls.
- Photo and location caching to record posts that are uploaded when user returns to higher signal or Wi-Fi areas.
- More effective passive “always-on” tracking, which can work in the background even without a cellular signal.
The original HipGeo app was launched in September 2011, allowing users to record and share their trips through Facebook, Twitter, email, text or with an embedded HipGeo player on their blogs or web sites…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
