Panoramio's Blog


1 million registered users and 5 million photos uploaded

October 25th, 2007 by Eduardo Manchón

Panoramio has reached 1 million registered users and over 5 million photos have been uploaded. Of those photos approximately 80% were mapped and 2 million have been added to Google Earth (a number that increases monthly). The rise in the number of people using Panoramio and uploading photos since December 2006 has been incredible. People like very much to illustrate their favorite places and help correcting misplaced photos, we are very happy for that.

We received some complains about the delay sending the photos to Google Earth. Unfortunately this delays will remain for some time. I believe that we should reduce the delay, but always has to be some delay.

Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi languages are ready, but not online because we are preparing the interface to be fully adapted to right to left languages. Still some languages are not available. We are specially missing Hindi, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Tagalog. If anyone feels like helping with the translation to those languages, please, contact me at eduardo AT panoramio.com, I will appreciate it.

The last weeks we had some issues with not appropriate ads displayed in the photo-pages. Some people reported that and we decided to remove them until we can assure those ads don’t appear anymore. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    Enhorabuena, las buenas ideas no siempre triunfan, pero en este caso no solo habéis triunfado, habéis arrasado, y lo mejor es que esto es solo el principio.

    With the millions of photos submitted to PANORAMIO, I think it would be a good idea if some form of rating can be given to determine the top 10 or 50 submissions of every month so that the winners can be proud of their achievement.

    After adding some photo’s I saw after som time that they were rejected. Reading the rules I learned that my those phote were not according the rules like people and animals as subject.
    Just I viewed som photo’s in Namibia and I saw that many photo’s has subject like people en animals.
    Why were thes photo’s placed in Google Earth and other photo’s with such subject rejected. Is there a sharp line rejected/placed and are the rules not strict enough? Or were there other specific not clear published rules?

    Great work done!!
    i hope Panoramio will be in future what it is now, a FREE community.

    So much thanks for lovely pictures we can see from this beautiful earth.

    Hope that it won’t be overcrowded or replaced with stupid contents of advertisement and indirect product placement …
    Good to have some contests and themes for your members in future, as it will be more and more popular!
