Why not invite your friends on Facebook to join you on Panogio? Using Facebook's own web form your and your friends integrity are completely safe!
All you need to do is log on to Panogio. When logged on to your user page on Panogio click on the "Facebook connect" button and and input your Facebook account information. Your account will be verified against Facebook's servers and when that is done your Panogio account will be linked to your Facebook account.
Now you can choose to use your Facebook account OR your Panogio account when you log on to Panogio. Great if you have a hard time to remember your Panogio password!
When you have your Facebook account linked to your Panogio account please take the time to invite those of your friends that you believe are interested in panoramas. Your can use Facebook's own web form for this by going here: http://www.panogio.com/fbconnect/invite/friends or post a link on your Facebook page using this shortcut Share

Fancy isn't it!?! Well perhaps it is not that much of a revolution but I believe it will make Panogio a whole lot more useful. One of the most common thing associated with panorama photos on the Internet is tours and this is the first step to bring this to the Panogio community. Sets is nothing more than a collection of some of your panoramas. But the simple things are the best!
You just create your own set, basically make up a name and a brief description, and then you are able to attach your panorama to this set. (A checkbox with the name of your set will show up on the edit page of your uploaded panoramas.)
You will find your sets by typing http://www.panogio.com/you username/the name of the set. For example you can find my Stockholm set at this URL http://www.panogio.com/set/ted/stockholm
When there are some nice sets I will make a new page exposing them to site visitors, and probably adding them to each users page.
What do you think? What is missing? What have I done wrong? What is not good enough yet? Please let me know!

Why a web site for panorama photos? Why trying to make yet another photo community on the Internet? I thought I should try to explain what I think in this blog on which this is the first post.
If you have clicked through this website you've probably noticed that I'm no professional panorama photographer. And I like it that way! Panorama photography is just a hobby, a quite new hobby in fact. But I have a long history as a photographer and I do a lot of sports photography professionally.
Web development is another one of my interests, in fact I have a university degree in Computer Science and I have been using the Internet since 1994. Building stuff has always interested mine... I need to build stuff, in some sense, all the time! So this is why I built Panogio. I wanted to build a web community and Panorama photography seemed to be the perfect thing to build it around. Basically that's it. No case studies :-)
I have a lot of ideas on functions I would like to build for this website but the time and money make it a slow process. That is why I believe it is best to make new functions public as soon as possible so that you, the user, can give me feedback and stop me from wasting time on the things no one will use!
There are already a few panorama photography web sites in the Internet. Some of them are really, really, good. I believe I can make Panogio to be as good as they, and with some new features...
Next post will be about something interesting!
