By popular demand, we've just released two new features to the existing TwitterUpdater and TwitPic connectors:

• you can now upload a picture using the TwitterUpdater connector;
• it's now also possible to add a message to a picture published with the TwitPic connector.

To upload a picture to twitter, simply connect any image output to the new picture input. Publishing a message to twitpic is as easy as connecting a text output (e.g., using the TextInput connector) to the new message input.

How can you take advantage of our recently created Convore connector? Here's a possible workflow that will let you announce any new blog posts on a specific Convore topic. To start using it immediately you can simply clone it and follow these instructions.

First, find your Convore topic ID by going to your topic page and click on the "Edit topic title" button. You'll see that the URL will show your topic ID. Insert it into the TextInput connector above where you see <TOPIC_ID>. Then, save the workflow.

Now, if you haven't done so yet, go to the accounts tab and authorize tarpipe to publish to your Convore account. The only missing step is connecting your blog feed to this newly created workflow.

To do that, go to the feeds tab, enter your blog RSS feed URL on the form and choose the workflow from the list. Click "connect" and you're good to go. Any new blog post you write will be automatically published to your Convore topic.

See how we're doing it with our blog by visiting our "News and announcements" Convore topic. Have great conversations!

Some time ago we launched the Conditional connector which compares two pieces of text and executes a branch of a workflow if a condition is met.

How does it work? You feed it text1 and text2 and an optional condition. The connector tries to compare both text inputs and will output text1 if the condition is met. Here's a list of supported conditions:

• == : will output text1 if it's exactly the same as text2;
• != : the opposite, will output the original text if both inputs are different;
• contains : will output text1 if it contains text2;
• !contains : the opposite, will succeed if text2 is not contained by text1.

How can this seemingly simple connector help you with your workflows? Let's say that you'd like to post an update on twitter, but only when the title contains the word "Announcement". You'd feed the title into text1, the word "Announcement" into text2 and the text "contains" into condition.

If the word is found, the original text is available on the output and the following workflow branch is executed. You can even have different branches matching different situations.

We now offer yet another bookmarking connector: Pinboard.

Pinboard is a bookmarking website for introverted people in a hurry.

The Pinboard connector works in a similar way to the other bookmarking connectors. You feed in the url you want to bookmark, a title, an optional description, any comma separated tags and you can even tell if your bookmark will be public by using the shared input: it accepts a "yes" or "no" value, defaulting to "yes".

Our latest addition to our growing list of connectors is Convore.

Convore is a quick way to communicate with groups of friends in real-time. Join public or private groups and talk about anything!

And now you can automatically publish a message on a Convore topic from within any workflow.

The Convore connector accepts two inputs: the message you want to publish and the topicId that identifies the topic where you want your message to appear. The topic ID is a numeric value and can be found on the topic page, when you click on the "Edit topic title" button. Its only output is the messageUrl which can be used as an input to update other services.

We think this connector might be interesting to update a list of followers on Convore with the latest announcements from your blog.
