Panoramio's Blog

Do you see anything strange in these homepages?

Yes, Panoramio is mirrored for right to left languages
Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi were available some time ago, but without mirroring they were not really usable, so we decided to pull them back until we could mirror the site. Now it is ready.
It took more time […]

I just discovered this photo of a group of people from Panoramio, Gruppo Amatori di Panoramio, meeting in Montecanino, Italy.

Later I discovered that they already have met several times in Camogli , Asti and Monte D’Alba. They are: Marco Ferrari, Francesco Favalesi, Franco Truschello, Daniela Brocca, Valerio M, Alberto Gemme, Gilberto Silvestri, Luigi Barbadoro, […]

Thanks to these great guys, now Panoramio is translated to four more languages.

Galician: Christian Álvarez Rodríguez, gracias!
Asturian: Andrés Menéndez Blanco and Héctor Xil, gracies!
Belarusian: Andrej Kuźniečyk Дзякуй!
The rest of the languages are updated continously with the contributions of many translators. However sometimes you will see some sentences in English mixed […]

Many people have contributed with new locations to the list of cool places in Panoramio. We have collected more than 200 great locations and last weeks we made some improvements in the Places page, making easier to browse locations randomly. You always can find a link to “Places” in the top of the site.

After the October update was canceled, yesterday the November one was done and 500,000 photos from Panoramio have been added to Google Earth. Now 2,5 million photos are available in Google Earth. The next update will be around December 10th.

Since last week we have forums for German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Magyar, Arabic and Hindi, so people can use their own language in the forum. We selected those languages because are the most popular languages among the users of Panoramio.
People seem to enjoy the new forums, specially the Spanish community […]

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 […]

In the past adding more photos to the maps has always slowed down the performance. Now that is history. Check the new Panoramio mapplet, included as featured content in “My Maps” tab in Google Maps and you will see hundreds of thumbnails displayed simultaneously and smoothly updated while panning the map. Truly amazing!

Yesterday 300,000 new photos from Panoramio were added to Google Earth, that means that the total number of photos in Google Earth is 2 million right now.
We also added a new feature a couple of weeks ago. Now you can ask for a second review for your photos in the case they have not […]

The bad news is that I expected that on July 20th new photos from Panoramio were going to be added to Google Earth, but I was wrong. I am deeply sorry for that. The next update will be around August 15th.
The good news. The forum is finally back. Yes, it has been a too […]
