Hi, I have tried all the panorama sites, and this is the best (in my opinion), but I haven't seen a lot of recent activity (4 panoramas uploaded in one week?? wtf?)
So I'd like to know if this is going to get new features............ or the project is stopped?
If this site close i will lose all my panoramas, Should I search for anoter site to upload my panoramas?

Thanks

Hi Jalea

It is really nice to hear that you like Panogio!

I have no plans on closing this web site. Unfortunately I have not had any time to work on improvements neither for a while. I have a long list of ideas i would like to try out as soon as I get the time. (for example I have embedding functionality working but need better "terms of use" before I release it.)

When it comes to activity Panogio has never been the busiest panorama site on the web, I would think one uploaded panorama per day is about average. On a personal basis I have an awful lot of unstitched panoramas laying on the hard drive waiting to be dealt with. Perhaps it is time to dedicate some more time to panogio and panoramas again...

About loosing your panoramas... Good question, perhaps I should think about some way for users to download/export their own panoramas.

If you would like to help keeping the site busy please spread links to the site and to your panoramas. (More visitors will make it much more interesting developing functionality.)

Best regards
/ted, webmaster Panogio.com

thanks

ok, thanks, I happy to hear you.

For this time, if you don't improve / new features in a hole year, all understand that the project is stopped.
As you said, embedding is basic for this kind of sites (photo sites).

Ok, were are all going to stay here because I like this site, but we are all sluts in internet, so we'll leave you if somene offer more ^^

If you need help to translate to spanish, I'll be there for you xD

BTW, if you would like to see

BTW, if you would like to see a page of all panoramas uploaded this week have a look at this page http://www.panogio.com/week/2010/49 (change year and week in URL for other weeks).
