Honorable Mention for Panoramio at Web 2.0 Awards
Panoramio was given an Honorable Mention for the Web 2.0 Awards in the category of Mapping. We are very pleased for this mention, especially because Panoramio was released just 7 months ago.
The winners of the Mapping category are 1. Wayfaring, 2. Frappr and 3.Housingmaps.
My favourite has always been Frappr. The idea (members of a group says where they are located) makes very much sense and it seems people understand it very well. Just take a look for its ranking at Alexa.
Housingmaps is good mainly because it’s really a useful application for a common day task (searching for housing) with very good data from Craigslist.org, not spectacular, but very nice.
However I don’t understand the first price for Wayfaring. This application goes one step forward, as Tagzania, Flagr or our Panoramio do. I believe no one of these sites is still mature enough, still a long way to walk. Apart from their own limitations, these sites bring Google Maps to the edge and unfortunately Google Maps interface has some usability issues, that makes its interface difficult to use for some purposes.

Dang. Your until very recently excellent blog comments feed has sustain so much comment spam of late that it’s not really viable to subscribe to it, at least not with the poor spam moderation (most likely none; I think few feed readers have started to yet) of Google Reader. :-/ Good thing the spammers at least can’t get to your blog feed.
I don’t know what the hell has triggered that quantity of spam.
I will see what can I do to fix the issue.
I’ve restricted a lot the conditions to comment. I hope that this will stop the flow of spam.
