Two announcements. 1) Starting sometime this weekend (it will magically appear), Project downloads will automatically include the Scringo SDK so you can easily and seamlessly add an awesome social layer to your app. In the first phase of this you'll need to enter your Scringo App Id in your Core Settings (or in your project after you download it). After a short beta period we'll begin creating Scringo App Id's for you so you don't have to do anything You can easily remove the Scringo SDK after you download your project if you so choose. We love Scringo! Learn more about Scringo and make sure you mention us :-) http://scringo.com/ 2) App Usage Maps will be changing slightly. Buzztouch Members: We are adding a "download data" feature for Buzztouch Members so you can download more detailed usage stats and save them locally for whatever purpose you may need. Buzztouch Guests and Members: App Usage Maps will only show the last 30 days activity on the map. This means you'll need to become a Member if you want to download and archive (locally on your machine) historical usage stats. Super stoked for St. Louis!!!

@david:its awesome that scringo is coming lot of people wanted that..!

this is awesome i just did a app with the new scringo the swipe feature on scringo was messing with the carousel plug in if you guys can get the swipe feature to be turn of and on that we be even cooler love the carousel plug. any ways good news thanks david and the scringo team

Great news! I justed submitted a new app with Scringo embedded. I like that you can add custom tabs to the menu bar programmatically! Looking forward to the easier addon. I vote too for the above comment ^^^^

mmmmh..delicious! Thanks David and your team It really awesome.

Totally stoked about the app usage stats. I love nerdy data like that. Scringo is super cool as well! Mark

Very cool David, Makes me think of other services that would be nice to have available within the code on source code download, like Urban Airship and Flurry etc and be able to activate or not via the control panel, hmmmm Exciting times at BT :)

I can't wait haha Thank you David and your team :)

Congratulations to David et. al.! Mobile + Cloud + Social are the 3 elements of the "future" formula to gain marketshare (At least in the next 2 or 3 years). So we have the 3 of them with BT... Now the only thing we need is a "Mobile Backend as a Service" with seamless integration to our app Data and we´ll have it all. Thanks David and your team for your foresight and execution. Proud to be a Buzzer... Pancho.

Way Cool David! Thanks! Cheers! -- Smug

Awesome! Didn't expect this so soon. Can't wait to try it out.

@David - Thank you for continuing to evolve BT into such an amazing platform. So exciting ~

Very cool!

Hey I love scringo ! However after I implemented it into a few apps my apps would randomly crash and users became very angry. I dont know why this was happening. In the simulator it was working fine. Any clue?

Great news! Can't wait to see how it's implemented.

Thanks BT!

great news.. cant wait to try it out.

Wow, this good. It seems its only for BT control panel, not self hosted, right? Cheers. Miguel

Scringo is one of my apps and LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Great partnership David! Sheri

Scringo is slick, great addition to the armory. Top notch guys as well. Happy days.

Super cool! Although socialize is always my first choice, hopefully they won't both conflict in a project (never done that before!). Super cool! Cheers, David https://buzztouchmods.com

Buzztouch = AWESOME!!!! Thank you David

Looks great though I'm not sure how useful it'll be in my apps (medical reference stuff). Anyone have live apps running with the new socialize sdk I can check out??

I've never used Socialize but love Scringo. It will be awesome to have the whole BT community up to speed on this. cheers! ian

Sounds Great! Is it for Self Hosted Server too?

Regarding Scringo and Self-Hosted, It will come in the download, yes. But, control panel won't know about "Scringo" until BT 2.1.9 comes out. This just means self hosted users will need to enter their Scringo app Id in project after downloading. This will be automagically in next BT release.

No Problem, when i know where ;-) Does it work for Android and OSX?

@ David or Ian, How will this affect APN on BT and Scringo? Will they conflict in the code? Wondering because I've been thinking about a setup where I let the client make a Scringo account so they can go through that service to send push (the only thing they need) instead of allowing access to the whole BT control panel. Ryan

Thanks BT and David! Will be a great easy feature to add.

Fabulous. Been wanting to try Scringo...

That's awesome news! Couldn't be better timing for me - I've just begun the process of phasing Socialize out of all of my apps and moving over to Scringo. This will make the process easier! I'm curious to see if this fixes some of the Scringo issues I've encountered that occur when the app is refreshed

Excited to see the final process come to life! Tony Buzztouch.com Saint Louis, MO

Great work bringing this partnership to Buzztouch @Tony!

:) @Ian

Sounds interesting, making account now.

for the "download data" of app map usage do we have to change or add something on our BT host server?

Can't wait! Thank you @buzztouch gang! LA

will the "activity" code be provided in the source code download? For instance in every plugin that is available in the plugin market...if someone uses the in app purchase to buy something...will it say "Chad just bought "...."" within the activity section of scringo

Will this allow us to send rich Push Notifications using BT? Jake

will scringo appear in the cp for apps already started? any timeline this weekend?

now is weekend i cant wait Scringo out update and App usage maps too

Hey David any news on the Scringo update ? Would be nice to have a full play before long weekend is over. Thanks
