Valuable Fly Fishing Services
FREE Services for Every Member
Blog
Bloggers who add their feed link to Kynd Outdoors and then follow the linking instructions can take advantage of our blog service. This service takes all blog posts that have been validated and publishes them within 24 hours on KyndOutdoors.com. Because they are published here, that means they are instantly published on Facebook and Twitter. In addition, they will show up in Google's search results and will have a direct link back to the original blog.
Google Maps
Kynd Fly Fishing Community members are able to post fishing trip maps utilizing Google Maps and Kynd's interactive technology so other members can understand where they fished.
Facebook
Any activity that a member posts about a Kynd fly fishing destination will get posted on Facebook. This means that not only will content related to waters (pictures, reports, etc) be published on KyndOutdoors but on Facebook as well.
YouTube
The YouTube service sniffs out a Kynd member's specific tag and brings the videos into the site. That means a Kynd member can add a tag to their YouTube video(s) and when the service finds it, it will pull it into the site and post it within 48 hours.
Widget
The widget services allow members to publish their Kynd content anywhere on the Internet. Currently Kynd offers the following fly fishing widgets: Reports, Pictures, News, Blogs. If a member posts any content in one of those categories it will show up on the widget. Then whenever that widget is published (code gets copied/pasted) on a site or blog, the content is published as well.
PDF
The PDF service allows users to print out or send PDF documents for specific Kynd fly fishing destinations. This allows people to take the content (most of it) they find on the destination details page and either share it with someone as an attachment or print it and take it with them to the destination.
Twitter
The Twitter service takes certain content each day and publishes it to Twitter. The feed (.xml format) is also available by clicking on the title of the day's post from twitter's site. http://www.twitter.com/id3ma
Report
The report service takes all fly fishing report content from a specific Kynd member and makes it available via RSS (.xml) or a Flash (.swf) widget. Anytime a report is added the site will remind you how to take advantage of this.
Services for Businesses (Free!)
