@98103 Testing @twitzipcom new feature: tweet thru your zip code by @replying zip. Seattle & Des Moines live now. Must be following zip.

[TwitZip @twitzipcom]

Soon we'll enable users to @reply zip codes & have it RT from the zip code. Should be an interesting experiment!

[TwitZip @twitzipcom]

Starting to experiment with weather tweets in Seattle and Des Moines. Check out @98103 and let us know what you think. http://bit.ly/9UH1NE

[TwitZip @twitzipcom]

A new milestone: we're able to tweet every zip code once a day. More often for zips in the top 20 cities.

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

Our new product TwitZip is coming to life! Twitter.com/[yourzipcode] for local stories. Top 15 U.S. metro areas live, more soon.

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

RT @nateheinrich: @flaggpole registered 33k us zip codes as Twitter user names. Ideas on how 2 make use of these 4 everyone? (via @Route140)

Love Ruby on Rails and looking for an exciting project? Flaggpole needs developers! http://bit.ly/HIVih

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

We do have many zip code accounts, but are we spam? http://bit.ly/QzqyJ We want these accounts to be useful. How would you use them?

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

@DavidStephenson Difficult to communicate when you block us. We want your feedback. See more on zip code accounts here: http://bit.ly/QBgK3

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

@atlibertytosay We're still looking for the best way to get the community interacting with them. How do you think @29657 should be used?

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

Testing out @dimdim for a conference call with two potential web devs. It feels all official-like. This is fun. ^MT

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

@kegill That would be great! We'd love to participate. Our site should be ready for its beta release this fall. Still coding away now.

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

@kegill Nope, neither are at #gnomedex. Everyone is at home taking care of families and working on Flaggpole. ;)

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

@markvanbaale Adding locations to tweets will be a big help to us when we are looking for content happening near a Flaggpole community.

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

@kegill Did you ever connect with @donsbach about Flaggpole? Sounds like you talked to @nateheinrich at #140tc earlier this year.

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

Our new community pages (less complex, more alive) should be out in a few weeks. Playing with our test instance is a lot of fun.

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

Talked with a potential web developer today in Ankeny. Exciting stuff! Interested? Details here: http://bit.ly/3QADf1

Congrats to hyperlocal startup @everyblock on their acquisition by MSNBC http://bit.ly/YrQn

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

It's official! @miketempleton signed on this morning as our new VP of Communities.

[Flaggpole @flaggpole]

Reviewed an updated community page with our developers tonight. We're excited to get users back inside and testing the system soon.
