New feature: City bulletin boards
by harryWe’ve just deployed a new feature on zintin: city bulletin boards.
Pretty much every city in the world now has its own wall on zintin. The change was entirely server-side, so you should already be able to see the boards of nearby cities at the bottom of the initial zintin screen, below the list of nearby users. A city’s bulletin board is visible within a radius which grows with its population, so you will be able to see small towns which are very nearby, and larger cities which are a little further afield.
These new city bulletin boards should be a great way to share fun content and relevant information with fellow city-dwellers. The inspiration for the new feature came directly out of seeing how people use zintin and listening to user feedback, so we are really excited to see how people use it. Tell us what you think in the forums!

I doubt that Shanghai is close to Melbourne, they are on other sides of the planets, additionally, with the number of “Cock Shots” and defaced photos, for example people scrawling “Fag” over other’s photos what looked to be a promising Application is ruined.
Zintin is now deleted from my iPhone and hopefully all the abuse lumped on me on the city wall will fade when my account does.
Zintin: Waste of space.

Hi Tenrai,
We recently realized there is a bug in how far the cities can be seen and will fix it very soon. As for the unsuitable content we are building in features to block users and report unsuitable content. These should be released shortly. I am sorry for the experience you had and hopefully you can keep zintin on your phone until the update comes out.

Who manages these Walls? How do I go about setting one up. My city isn’t represented.
