Instagram strong momentum soup.me to help them improve their deficiencies

Recently, according to foreign media reports, recently by Facebook to buy 1 billion of dollars, Instagram is a strong momentum to become a hot topic inside and outside the industry, in fact, Instagram is not quite perfect, to find a particular picture is very difficult. Although this is not a big problem, but as a person so angry service, this is indeed a flaw in the ointment. Now a start-up company launched a product soup.me, the intention to help Instagram perfect this deficiency, but also for their own better development.

This new feature, launched today, takes full advantage of the Instagram API, displaying all the Instagram images of users and presenting them in two different soup.me. The first presentation is based on color, the second is more practical, the map overlay presentation.

When you associate Instagram and soup.me accounts, you can browse through all the Instagram images based on the map overlay.

In general, users must flip through all Instagram dynamics to find pictures taken one day or one trip. And for Instagram heavy users, this problem is particularly serious. With Soup.me, users can quickly find a picture of a trip, find out what pictures were taken, and where and when.

However, soup.me ambition is far beyond this, integration Instagram is only the first step, in fact soup.me want to be the ultimate target site for users, where not only can browse all personal digital content, and friends can visit this page to understand your current situation. While such concepts are not new, Soup.me's focus is on the details of personal services, which about.me the personal Social business card service far behind.

Of course, the value of this service will not be truly experienced until the company launches more relevant functions. At present, the company team is working to develop various integration projects. In the future, Instagram service will integrate the Foursquare check-in service, Tweet, status update and so on to a visual interface, and show the timeline mode. This is useful for social network users.

However, Soup.me also faces some risks, such as social networking services such as google++, which are not fully open to APIs. If the popular social services do not have an open API, it will leave a loophole for soup.me future consolidation.

In addition, Soup.me does not currently support content upload, so cross-platform content upload will also be unable to achieve. For companies such as Google and Instagram, content uploads are important, and the company's collaboration with the platforms requires one. Therefore, if the content can not be uploaded, the user viscosity will not be ideal.

Despite all the difficulties, the company is creating valuable things for its users. Prior to that, its co-founder had launched another service, Soup.io, once a Tumblr competitor. With previous experience, the company team decided to launch a more practical new product soup.me.

Looking to the future, the company team will continue to deploy to build more platform integration plans to achieve docking more different platform content intuitive display, while upgrading the existing product services. First of all, it is of course to continue to improve soup.me. Next, you will continue to integrate other video services (such as YouTube and Vimeo), check-in service Foursquare, and status update Services to achieve a visual display of multiple content. In late summer, the company plans to relocate from Austria to San Francisco, while concentrating its efforts on expanding its product capabilities. The team also plans to establish partnerships with data hosting companies. Earlier this year, the company had already completed 53,000 of billions of dollars in funding, and will then step up the pace of development to introduce more new features and integrate more services.
