In the previous post I announced that Panoramio will be in maintenance for around 48 hours starting on Sunday September 20th 12:00 GMT (13:00 Continental Europe, 05:00, San Francisco, 21:00 Beijing).

After that maintenance work the site will be back to normality on Tuesday around 12:00 GMT with some minor changes and removed limitations. All comments, tags and favorites will be displayed again. Also the 32 thumbnails per page will be back. You will see more photos on the map and reviewed photos will be added to Google Earth weekly. Also you will be able to upload up to 10 Mb files. However the “all” tab will disappear temporary and the popular tab and KMLs will not get new photos for 2 weeks. You can read more details about these changes in the forum.

I hope you like the changes, but please drop your opinion in the forum. Thanks for your patience!

Maintenance work for 48 hours starting on Sunday September 20th

September 18th, 2009 by Eduardo Manchón

We have to do some maintenance work in Panoramio for 48 hours starting on Sunday September 20th around 12:00 GMT (13:00 Continental Europe, 05:00, San Francisco, 21:00 Beijing).

During this period of time you will not be able to sign-in in Panoramio. This means that anything that requires to sign-in (upload photos, add a comment, delete photos, manage tags, etc) will be disabled. When you click over any of those features you will get a page with the message “Sorry, this page will not be available for the next 48 hours”. Also it wouldn’t be possible to add posts to the forum nor comments to Panoramio’s blog. Everything else in Panoramio should work normally; photo browsing, map page, personal pages, etc.

After approximately 48 hours (Tuesday September 22nd at 12:00 GMT) everything should be back to normality with some minor changes that I have explained in this post.

Sorry for the trouble, but it is something we had to do unavoidably. I am looking forward to see your newest photos on Tuesday.

Panoramio photos in Google Search

July 23rd, 2009 by Eduardo Manchón

You might have noticed it that since some weeks when you search for a location in Google search you get a map and some photos shared in Panoramio.

For example, when you search for Paris you get:

Google <span class=results for Paris">

Try with other searches: Yellowstone National Park, Barcelona, New York or Moscow. It is really cool!

April’s update postponed and some other issues

May 7th, 2009 by Eduardo Manchón

Unfortunately due to technical issues the April’s update of Panoramio photos in Google Earth has been postponed to the end of May. The last weekly update was on April 25th adding photos up to ID 20980000 to Google Earth. The difference between the weekly update and the monthly one is that new added photos are displayed only in very low zoom levels in the weekly update. You have to wait until the next monthly update to see photos in different zoom levels according to popularity.

We added a new question to the Help page called “Spam in comments“. The idea is to discourage campaigns of comments for the Panoramio contest. Sending hundreds of comments with links is simply spam. If you get spam I recommend you to add a comment to one photo of the spammer including a link to that question. Normally after receiving one or two comments the user doesn’t spam anymore. This solution is far from perfect, but in the near future we will add a way to report comments and block users that abuse comment. By the way, this new policy starts now, so it doesn’t apply for comments made before May 7th.

I also would like to clarify that the final winners of the contest are only the ones included after the announcement in the blog. The contest page might be technically available before the announcement, but we always need some extra time for technical tasks and verifications.
