Because it needed some make up, we decided to temporarily suspend our Facebook application.
This is why you don't find it anymore in the application directory on Facebook.
We feel really sorry for this inconvenience.

A comment on the question "How do I plaze myself via text messages (SMS)?" in Plazes:

Of course, we are working on this too. – Giuseppe Bonetti, on October 07, 2008 13:02

A comment on the idea "Erase Plazes with "0 people"" in Plazes:

Maybe you should insert a planned activity instead of a dummy activity. – Yon, on October 06, 2008 15:59

A comment on the question "How do I plaze myself via text messages (SMS)?" in Plazes:

And why not to admit a "status @ Plaze on address in city, country" text? – Yon, on October 06, 2008 15:58

I think this is a good example about how differently people use our service. This is why we always have to be very careful before we introduce new features or solutions to some problems.
We will be listening to each of you.

Great suggestion!

peSHIr replied on October 06, 2008 15:29 to the idea "Erase Plazes with "0 people"" in Plazes:

Not always a good idea, I'm afraid.

I regularly add a plaze "beforehand", by plazing myself there to create the plaze, then removing my "dummy activity". This way, I already have the plaze (with all info correct, like location on the map, added image, etc) so I can easily plaze myself there in the (near) future by SMS.

I would be pissed if I (in the future) would find out by means of a "You've created a new plaze" SMS that my effort in pre-creating that plaze appears to have been in vain just because it has been deleted in the time span between me pre-creating it and me actually using it...

Oh yes this is definitively a solution we are already considering, Yon.
Thanks for your contribution, it is always very welcome.

Yon marked one of Giuseppe Bonetti's replies in Plazes as useful. Giuseppe Bonetti replied to the problem "How to go back from "Show on Map"?".

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on September 24, 2008 08:29 to the idea "User's Worldmap starting closer." in Plazes:

Hi Yon and thanks for your suggestion: we will soon work on it.

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on September 24, 2008 08:19 to the problem "How to go back from "Show on Map"?" in Plazes:

Hi Yon,
we know this is not really easy to understand and we are working on improving it.
Right now, to leave the Show on map view just click on the icon that represents the Plaze.

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on September 19, 2008 15:05 to the idea "See your contacts Plazes on your Welcome screen." in Plazes:

Hi Yon,
We actually had for a while the default view Contacts & You, which is, as you say, the most interesting way to look at Plazes.com.
Unfortunately we had to switch to the You-view to improve the performance of the site.
We are anyway working to find a different solution and provide the best user experience.

So that's changed then, it used to be "At" and notifying people of a return, it still works. I'll let you know next time I create a plaze.

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on September 18, 2008 08:24 to the question "Plaze creation by SMS doesn't work" in Plazes:

Yes, you have to use "@" :-)
You may use the number you prefer, but probably the UK number is cheaper for you.
The complete reference to the SMS service can be found here.

Dave Levy replied on September 18, 2008 06:56 to the question "Plaze creation by SMS doesn't work" in Plazes:

Are you saying that I must use "@" and not "At" as the Plaze start delimiter?

But I use the +49 176 888 1113 number; there wasn't a UK number when I first programmed it into my phone. Would this make a difference? It seems to be only *new* Plazes that I have the problem with.

Oh, I see... :( Yes, that's what I did before Philipp J. K. told me I should use my e-mail to link the Twitter and Plazes accounts so future activities could be sent to Twitter. I guess I'll just have to wait for future activities to become supported by the Twitter integration...

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on September 16, 2008 09:26 to the question "Plaze creation by SMS doesn't work" in Plazes:

Hi Dave, I could not reproduce your bug. I used the UK number +44 778 148 7163 and it worked just fine.
Please remember the syntax you have to use:
status @ Plaze in city
For more information please read this related entry.

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on September 16, 2008 09:12 to the question "What is Plazes tweeting?" in Plazes:

We have been listening to our users and decided to post on twitter only now activities.
Later we will be able to post also future activities as soon as they become actual.
Moreover, you are now able to connect your twitter and Plazes account also by providing the twitter username.

ngl replied on September 15, 2008 17:31 to the question "What is Plazes tweeting?" in Plazes:

You're right, I entered the Twitter username (because it's an available option and it's quicker than entering the e-mail). I've changed the settings now, entering the e-mail instead of the username, but there was still no updating to Twitter. It worked when I plazed myself "Now" though.

A comment on the question "What is Plazes tweeting?" in Plazes:

probably because you entered your twitter username into the Twitter extension on plazes.com. We however need you to insert the email you have registered with twitter. – Philipp J. K., on September 15, 2008 12:59
