Placefav

Where's Cool

Placefav is sleeping.

Updates

We rolled out a bunch of minor tweaks today:

• Generally tightened up Placefav’s user interface (mostly whitespace, etc.)
• Simplified the site’s color palette
• Infrastructure improvements in preparation for some bigger features coming soon
• You can now flag photos for a place as irrelevant or offensive—just click the flag icon at the bottom-right of the photo

One thing we’re constantly working to improve is both the accuracy and intelligence of the places engine—the ability to determine if your Starbucks and my Starbucks are really the same place, for instance.

Also, we’re currently testing the ability to add in new places via email. Email us at support AT placefav.com and we’ll get you set up.

We're on Twitter

Wow!

The last few days have been incredible. Mashable covered us, Rubin recommended us, and a new partnership is in the works (more about that soon).

I am incredibly appreciative of all of your feedback thus far, and am working ‘round the clock to keep Placefav the best place to track and share your favorite places.

We’ll be spending the next week or so beefing up our server architecture and making it even easier to add places to your Placefav.

One last thing: we’re now on Twitter: http://twitter.com/placefav

Thanks again and stay tuned!

New Feature: Page titles!

New Feature: Flickr photos

We’re now pulling geotagged Flickr photos for every place you add. These are way more accurate than the Panoramio ones (although support for that is staying put for now), so we’ve phased those out.

Enjoy!

New Feature: Maps on your page

One of the most requested features for Placefav was to show a map directly on your page, the same way we display photos inline. I’m happy to report that your page will now display a map for each of your places (as long as we can find it, of course!)
