We've just added a number of new features on http://placerama.com/
designed to make it easier to add local listings, and to add better
quality listings at that:
* You can now put richer content into the listing description,
including uploaded photos
* You can create listings that link to pages on other sites more
easily with our new sharing bookmarklet
(http://placerama.com/sharing)
* You can add comments on listings
* You can send an email to the creator of a listing without
knowing their email address (this might be handy if you don't
want to give your contact details away in your listing)
We've also added a few new listing categories to improve on the ones we
had previously:
* Happenings - for stuff that's happening where you are now (this
will be more useful when the first mobile app is done)
* Notices - for things like lost cats, found wallets, road works
(previously we just had a News category which didn't really make
sense for things like this)
* Conversations - ask a question or raise an issue and get some
feedback, e.g., "Does anyone know what happened in that accident
on the corner of Smith St yesterday?"
Hopefully this will make life a bit easier for listing contributors. I'd
love to hear what you think.
Cheers, Andrew.
