You Can Now Create Interactive Photos Using ThingLink For iOS
Summary
We knew mobile was going to be a huge focus for ThingLink, the Finnish startup that enables individuals and brands to easily enrich images with sound, video, links, text and whatnot, and share them with the world. Today, the company is formally launching ThingLink Mobile, a free consumer-oriented iOS app that popped up in the iTunes store last week. The app allows iPhone and iPad users to make their photos interactive by embedding videos and text within the pictures, and to easily share them by email, to Twitter or on Facebook. The Washington Post was the first news outlet to use a pre-release version of the ThingLink Mobile app, creating interactive images of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. It’s important to note that ThingLink Mobile is limited, in the sense that you can only add video and text tags to photos today, whereas the Thinglink Web-based application allows users to add content from SoundCloud, Spotify, Google Maps, Amazon, eBay, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other sites.
