TriOut version 2.0.2 with more awesome. Now supports Facebook Places Check-Ins

Guest Post by Lawrence Ingraham @lawpower, cofounder and lead developer of TriOut

The latest update to the TriOut iPhone app hit the App Store today. Version 2.0.2 brings some great performance enhancements and increased stability. I think we’ve fixed the Photo Upload bug once and for all.

Most importantly, we’ve integrated the new Facebook check in system within TriOut. In order to take advantage of this, you’ll need to re-authenticate Facebook in the app to approve check in access. Just tap on Settings >> Facebook to approve. Then the next time you check in, select Facebook from the menu of services and we’ll check you in on Facebook. It couldn’t be easier.

We’ve also added a new Help menu to get new users familiar with the app. The help menu shows the first time you launch the app and is always available in the settings menu. We hope this clears up any confusion users have had trying to check in.

Your feedback is extremely important to us. We beta tested TriOut v2 for 4 months prior to release but are still finding bugs and tweaks to make it better. If you find a crash, a bug, or something you just can’t figure out, please let us know either by email or through our feedback. We want to make TriOut your go-to app for connecting with your friends, tell us how to make it better.

Friday Fix: 6 ways to track your blips in Google Wave

As Google Wave continues to evolve one of the many complaints about Wave is there is no way to receive a notification when you have a new “blip” aka Google Wave message in general. Well after a few weeks and giving programmers some time, it seems there are a few Google Wave desktop notifiers and extensions for both Firefox and Google Chrome.

Friday Fix: 3 solutions to solve your social web inbox problem

Friday Fix are short post on niche topics/plugins/tools/presentations or you could call them short simple tips.

One problem with the social web now is that we have too many inboxes. We have our work email, personal email, Facebook inbox mail, Facebook email from Facebook inbox, Twitter direct messages, Twitter new followers email, Flickr email, google alerts, real-time brand notifications and I think you get the picture. Depending on how “social” you are, managing your inbox can be very challenging and time consuming. This all while we wait to see how Google Wave will evolve, it could be a social web inbox platform or just another inbox to manage. Regardless here are three solutions to help solve your social web inbox problem.

1. Inbox2 – http://www.inbox2.com
