kevan- everything goes away eventually... !

britta- a parked car is not much different than weather, no? not likely to be stable for more than part of a day.

tom - fair enough. I sort of thought the noticing was about the toilet, but I can see it both ways.

and agreed: it would be really nice to have some way to broadcast the gameplay decisions.... in general I am hoping for an rss feed that would keep me updated on scoring of my own stuff (perhaps even as something separate from the overall leaderboard or a city specific leaderboard) and a way to get information about the decisions. could decision information live in machine tags?

britta- that seems like an arbitrary rule. if I notice a really nice sunset or cloud formation you are by no means guaranteed to see it again the next day.

but at any rate, the photo in question was of a presentation hall during a week long furniture fair. all of the seats in the hall are different pieces of furniture, except one which happened to be a toilet. so it would satisfy your suggested test.

this discussion brings up another issues: there should be a notification when a noticing is DQ'd. I had no idea this photo was out of play until I happened to notice it a couple month later.

Do crowds = people?

I know there's a "no people" rule, but what about a noticing that isn't about the people in a photo?

for instance, this pic was taken out of play:

but the noticing is the fact that someone in the audience is sitting on a toilet as a chair.

It would be great if the city pages could include an RSS feed as well. I'd love it if I could play and follow noticings without having to visit the site on a regular basis.

One challenge to add to this is that Flickr's naming scheme for neighborhoods is not always so accurate. I've noticed that here in Helsinki photos tend to end up mislabeled when I let Flickr pick the neighborhood automatically.

I'd really like search to understand hierarchy too, so if I search for "helsinki" it returns all the results for neighborhoods that are within HEL.

KML Shapes not projected properly?

When importing a KML file with shapes, the lines connecting the verticies of the shapes are drawn as straight, unprojected connections between the properly-projected points.
