It makes me super proud that he used Panoramio, a site I created 9 years ago. Nowadays with the prevalence of Google Street View is less useful than it used to be for this kind of stuff, but there are still places that the GSV guys have not (yet) covered.

- 3rd3 12y agoI love Panoramio and shame on Google that they made it more difficult to access in the new maps.google.com! I often use it to see how places look like I may or may not travel to, sometimes to see how places look like that I order things from (for example obscure Chinese sellers and manufacturers on eBay).
- kyro 12y agoRachel Maddow, popular American talking head, mentioned this project and your site on her show tonight.

- PostOnce 12y agoMSNBC, left-wing of fox's right-wing talking heads, approximately except nobody watches MSNBC... Old people and conservatives watch TV, young people and liberals read the internet, leaving MSNBC a ghost town, in my estimation
- prawn 12y agoI'm not in the US, don't ever watch MSNBC or Fox and I know who Maddow is just from political blog/story mentions. I think the original commenter's point was that the project was mentioned to a large audience. Seems fairly accurate.
- PostOnce 12y agoYes, I didn't mean literally nobody, I just meant that compared to other markets MSNBC is fairly small so I can understand missing who Rachel Maddow is if you don't watch MSNBC or follow political blogs, shes not O'reilly or Jon Stewart, but yes it is a mainstream cable TV channel so that necessitates some minimum audience size lest the channel go off the air
- CrazedGeek 12y agoHer show is also distributed as a podcast, which is relatively popular.
- dmead 12y agothis is a generalization. there are old liberals.
- jacquesm 12y agoTo paraphrase one Jack Sparrow: "At least you've heard of her."
