Sceneshots with geolocated goodness

I'm pleased to announce that the follow up to adding a location to your scenes is being able to geolocate your sceneshots. Unlike scenes, you can edit and relocate your sceneshots whenever you want to your heart's desire. If you own the photo, you can simply enter the address or the GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken place on the sceneshot page. I've personally wanted this feature for a while now.


There will be more features out related to geolocated photos, so watch out for it in the coming days.

This is a small, but important step for Mobtropolis. While other photo sharing sites do have locations for their photos, none of it is associated with being able to find out where to do something interesting. This is one important piece of making a Clickable Earth.

Scenes now with location, location, location

As some of you have noticed, Mobtropolis now has locations added to scenes. All you have to do is type an address (part of an address, or GPS coordinates), and it will put a pushpin on that place for you on the map. If the location isn't quite right, you'll have 15 minutes after your first submission to correct it.

This means that scenes can be location specific, which will add to helping people find where to do interesting things. It's one step along the way of making mobtropolis part of the Clickable Earth.

There's still some tweaking to do, as scenes without locations shouldn't have maps, but I wanted to get it out there first so that mobtropolitians can play with it. More location geo-goodness coming in the next couple of days...
