We have been working hard to migrate Panoramio within Google since the acquisition and 2010 will show the results of this effort. Now Panoramio is in a situation where we can develop new features and we are very excited about this great opportunity
During these 2 days we discussed with Panoramio moderators about the feedback the whole Panoramio community has been discussing for so long in the Panoramio forum and we showed them what we are working on to address it.
Some of the points we discussed were the layers in Google Maps and Google Earth, the use of the API and how we will bring it to the next level, how to facilitate community interaction within Panoramio, and many more. We also took the time to put a face behind that Nickname that we see in a daily basis. Coming from their own words: “I see you now. I will never talk to the computer screen anymore”.
Panoramio moderators have daily interaction with all Panoramio users that is why we are sure that the Panoramio Community was fully represented in those discussions.
I want to personally thank them for the effort and for the great ideas and challenging discussions during the summit. For more information in those new feature and further Panoramio development, please keep in touch in our forum, blog, and obviously in Panoramio!
Excellent!, Congratulations and thanks for the effort.

That is a fine gesture to have interaction with the users of Panoramio as it will help solve problems of the users. Thanks a lot for the excellent attitude!!!!!Hope more such interactions will follow to understand problems directly..............
ReplyDeleteThank you for your work on improving the site. I do have a question, however. Since you have changed the photo icons and their visibility, I have difficulty seeing any place I visit. I cannot find photos readily, and I have difficulty seeing those new squares that indicate photos. I am colour blind so I do not see the new icons very well at all. I could see the old blue icons very well. Also I notice that my photos have far fewer viewings per day than before the change, so I am not alone in having more trouble finding what I am looking for on Google Earth. In many cases, I must get so close to ground level to find a photo that I lose the perspective of where I am. Finally, I have read that you show photos in order of how many visits they have received. That places a disadvantage on all new photos.
ReplyDeleteSo my question is. . . Do you intend to make viewing photos on Google Earth as easy as it was before the change, and if the answer is yes, when will it happen?
Thank you for your time and attention.

ReplyDeleteHi Guys,
ReplyDeleteDo You think about improvement of seeking photos by tags ?
Very previous method - show photos in the rows and columns was perfect.
Telling truth now, when tags bring me to the map..it does not work at all...
For example - I choose tag "Lodz" - my town in Poland - I got whole world on the map and six photos...:-(
Are You going to do something with that ?
Search by tags was one of the topics during the summit. The team is aware of this problem and will find the proper solution.
