I've added 5 POI's in Haarlem today. It's a fun way but it doesn't really work for me. Maybe it's my phone, a 2 year old HTC Magic...
The 5 POI's I added were next to each other, about the same distance between them. The first POI was uploaded right on the location I added it. The next 2 were both on the same spot, about 50m wrong. The fourth was hundreds of meters off, in a different part of the city. The fifth wasn't recognized because I started my tweet with #osmit instead of ending with that. Some other remarks: - & turns into & - My phone's gps sucks :) - #damnyouautocorrection - Still a cool app but not for me Greetings, Floris Looijesteijn On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 12:58 PM, Oleg <gel...@gmail.com> wrote: > By the way, we'v reduced permissions for twitter - just like it should be! > Thanks for mentioning that! > -- > RO > > 2011/7/6 Oleg <gel...@gmail.com> >> >> Cool thing around pictures, as most of twitter clients can upload them >> themselves and make a short links in the posts, so, we can try to use that >> links and put them into nodes as well! >> Also @mentioning - we're adding both ways now - so, you'll be able to use >> @osm_it - to hide your mappings from your followers, or #osmit - as it works >> now... >> Next, a MapDust - have to get in more with service, as it makes sense to >> use it with osmitter. >> For now, when you're adding a POI, you'll get a @reply from osmitter with >> link to the node on the OSM, like >> this: http://twitter.com/#!/osm_it/status/87777704488865792 - so, you can >> check it on the go. >> btw, cool to have this kind of feedback! >> -- >> RO >> >> 2011/7/5 Martijn van Exel <m...@rtijn.org> >>> >>> Hi Oleg, >>> >>> Well you beat me to it :) This is in fact almost exactly what I had in >>> mind and what I discussed at WhereCampEU. >>> Apart from the comments Martin made, we also discussed using a mention >>> instead of a hashtag.
