Add a Little Rick Sebak to Your Photos with Yinztagram

Yinztagram - Incline over Seattle

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…

A Few Short Votes Can Put PGH On the Twitter Map

Shorty Awards

Okay, Pittsburgh fans – we need to Pittsburgh on the Shorty Awards map.  The Shorty Awards are like the oscars of Twitter.  Each year they come up with a bunch of categories – and the winners are chosen by who gets the most votes.

This year I think we should create a Pgh category on the Shorty awards.

To nominate or vote for some one just post a tweet with the following info:

I nominate @TwitterUser for a Shorty Award in #PGH because [add reason here]

or

You can also send shorter votes like this: #shortyawards @username #PGH [add reason here].

You can always vote from ShortyAwards.com too.  Some things to keep in mind…

  • you must include a reason for your vote
  • you can only vote for one person/twitter user in a category – yes that means you will have to choose between Sally Wiggin Hair @sallywigginhair and Fake Julie Bologna @fakejulie and any of the other awesome Pittsburgh twitter users.

If we get enough votes on the Shorty Awards for category PGH – it could become an official category – if not maybe we can just plan our own PGHShortyAwards ceremony right here in Pittsburgh.

Also – while you are voting – we think you should cast a few votes for these Pittsburgh twitter users in the official categories
