I was organizing/cleaning out my bookmarks bar this morning and I came across all kinds of links that I have saved. I’m not sure this video ever made it to the blog. But thanks to the folks at WTAE you can see what Pittsburgh was celebrating (and singing about) back in 1985.

Yinztagram by @HollzinSeattle
If you follow @IheartPGH on twitter – you know that I am a devoted Blackberry user. I am constantly being asked why I use such a device when I could just “get an iphone.” I am loyal to the Blackberry. Until this week – something happened – that may be the reason I need to get an iphone – it is for the sake of all things Pittsburgh.
Meet the app that may make me break up with my Blackberry (I might say that my relationship has been one of the longest and best of my life) – Yinztagram.
Yinztagram is a free iPhone app that allows you to add some Pittsburgh to any photo. You know how Pittsburgher’s believe that everything tastes better with fries on top? Well some smart folks realized that all photos look better with a Primanti’s sandwich or Rick Seback added to the image.
You can read more about the Pittsburgh elements of the app here.
Check out some of these Yinztagrams and what people are saying about the app…

While $500 is a little out of our price range, she also has a nice print of Pittsburgh here.
The blog A Little Etsy Love has a contest running right now – leave a comment with your favorite item from the StudioKMO Etsy shop and you can win a city print. Check out the contest here (enter before Jan 12, 2012).
Because Pittsburghers need their own special app. Meet Uncle Gordy.
This video is brought to you by the same guys who created Move Ya Jagoff, and they really like Pittsburgh. To our knowledge the Uncle Gordy App is not yet available in the iTunes store – but we hope to see something soon.
Pat Conway created this video to express his feelings about Pittsburgh Traffic to the tune of Maroon5’s Move Like Jagger. We think it is a pretty accurate representation of traffic in Pittsburgh.
