Do you accept general submissions for Panoramio, or do they have to be
from submissions to a SI?

For that we suggest you set up your own Panoramio.

To do that, if you haven't already done so, set up a gmail account.

Panoramio does not require a gmail account.

True enough. But for most people that would be the more convenient way
to use it.

How does a gmail account make Panoramio more convenient to use...?

Imagine those who don't know you don't know what the **** you're
talking about.

Imagine that you haven't spent enough time looking into it to know better.

Let me Google that for you: http://bit.ly/NdcoXh

Which I didn't, don't need. The question was 'is it better to access
Pan with a gmail account' and it is. For several reasons. And I'll
just let you continue searching.

Straw man. I couldn't care less about what -you- need, it
substantiates you're full of **** for those who may wonder which of us
knows what they are talking about.

The question was 'is it better to access
Pan with a gmail account' and it is. For several reasons.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_assertion

I'm not asserting anything other than that even you can find why. At
least 1 good reason is very obvious and the other is evident enough.

Other reasons I would concede as arguable - that is to say 'in the eye
of the beholder'.

But Panoramio is keeping those several reasons a secret, but you found
out, but you're not talking...?

And I'll
just let you continue searching.

Because you're full of ****.

What about those in the 4 groups to which you are posting that might
not be so interweb savvy as yourself, **** 'em...?

There are only 2 people with an interest to date. AFAICT, 'duck doesn't
have a Panoramio account and doesn't care to have one. He's savvy
enough to figure out on his own what's best for him. And per otter's
recent post he's even more ambivalent.

You're obviously brilliant enough (you caught my earlier error which I
made no bones about) to figure the rest for yourself. And if you don't
believe me you can just imagine how much I care.

Yup!
I have never been a great fan of Panoramio even though I like he concept.
I have a Gmail account, I use Picasa Web, & G+, Panoramio always seemed
to be an intrusive blight on Google Earth, so I turn it off.
In some geographic locations the blanket of Panoramio images makes
Google Earth useless. Sometimes Google does too much to integrate its
products, so I keep Panoramio and a lot of other clutter turned off in
GE unless I have a specific itch which needs to be scratched.

That said, I can understand that Panoramio serves a purpose for those
with the ability to tag images, and who wish to have the locations of
some of their images displayed. It also serves a purpose as one of many
tools for those who care to locate where tagged SI submissions were
shot.

I just hold that Geo-tagging adds an interesting element to all images
for those with even the slightest bit of curiosity about the World
around them.

I have been fascinated with the potential of GPS and having the ability
to tag about 90% of my images so that those I share the images with can
access the location data if they care to. Call it my "Easter egg" for
those who enjoy such things.
There are of course times GPS data is stripped for various reasons when
I post an image.

And per otter's recent post he's even more ambivalent.

....but not as dismissive as some others.

BTW: Is "gpsman" planning on submitting any of his geo-tagged
photographic work to a future SI?

Yes, people post a lot of useless photos. Thankfully, Google Maps and
Earth both allow their suppression. I've posted nearly 300 photos to
PaRio, and frankly, I should go in there and remove about half.

That said, I can understand that Panoramio serves a purpose for those
with the ability to tag images, and who wish to have the locations of
some of their images displayed. It also serves a purpose as one of many

True, "asserted" dis-interest. So you're "warm", otter is "lukewarm",
most of the others are varying degrees of chilly.

A good question.

False premise. Only 2 people have -expressed- an interest.

Given your "challenges" any others with that interest should have risen
their hands by now. As 'duck points out in his recent post, acceptance
of geotagging in the SI context have met with a chill wind.

Of the 4 groups to which you post may be readers intrigued by
Panoramio and not interested in the SI.

That does not exclude them asking regardless of their interest in the SI.

You're obviously brilliant enough (you caught my earlier error which I

Idiots never care that they're idiots.

Lovely non-sequiter. I guess your balls are swelling now.


Your "advice" is the equivalent of claiming IE is the best browser,
for several reasons:

That's a cute misdirection and as meaningless as the rest of your blowout.

You fall further afoul of sanity by asserting you know what is best or

How does one "fall further afoul of sanity"? Please elaborate.

most convenient for most people, something you have no method of
having determined.

Tsk, tsk. I only suggested it was "more convenient". I never claimed
I know what is best for most people.

Your supply of smoke to blow up asses seems unlimited, though, so you
got that going for you.

Your supply of frustration is actually worrying to me. I suggest you
soon schedule a visit to your GP. On that note, this is my last reply
to you. I would feel badly if you caused yourself injury.

That's not a non sequitur, you can't even spell it.

Oh now we're down to spelling errors on usenet! You really do need a life!

I don't use a spell checker or latin very much at all. Sue me.

If I have to explain further, you wouldn't understand.

Ah, you've realized it's complete nonsense.

"But for most people that would be the more convenient way"

Yes, that's called an opinion.

(And you still haven't figured out 2 ways specific ways in which using
gmail as ones Panoramio account would be more convenient for most people
- or hey, in a fit of generosity I'll water that down to "many" people -
and that is a clue that even you should be able to grasp).

Red herring.

You started out as simply mistaken, and couldn't admit it...and
couldn't shut the **** up.

You're the one having a major diahrea attack.

And you're still in the dark.

EOD for me. Have the last word.
