Mmm this idea sounds somehow familiar :-)

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on November 21, 2008 11:29 to the idea "Points of Interest database" in Plazes:

Hi Flavio,
Plazes is not supposed to be a POI database: it is a collaborative site where everyone can add their Plazes.
Nevertheless, we are trying to import cool locations, as we did for Berlin in cooperation with Unlike.

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on November 21, 2008 11:25 to the idea "Add plazes by coordinates" in Plazes:

Hi Flavio,
when you create a new Plaze for which an exact address is not available, you can simply drag the pin on the map.

Thaks Yon for reporting this!
I will forward the bug to my colleagues.

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on October 31, 2008 08:13 to the question "Is Plazes developing an iPhone app?" in Plazes:

It is actually more complicated than that: we are now talking about an iPhone application developed by Nokia...
But we are doing our best to push it forward.

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on October 31, 2008 08:11 to the idea "Geode integration?" in Plazes:

Hi papadimitriou,
we are already considering to use Geode and extend the current FireEagle integration, which is why we are happy to see that our users would appreciate it.
Stay tuned :-)
We also would like to thank you for understanding our current priorities...

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on October 27, 2008 11:32 to the question "How can I make a plaze historic?" in Plazes:

Hi seppert,
I understand your irritation because, unfortunately, now it is not possible to make an old address historic anymore.
We are going to fix this with the new release, in the meantime you can choose the option "at another Plaze" and as soon as the frequency you plaze yourself in the new Plaze is high enough, the system will make the old address historic.

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on October 16, 2008 15:10 to the idea "Alias for Plazes" in Plazes:

I see your point Yon.
Although I guess this is not one of our priorities at the moment, I am going to internally present this idea anyway.

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on October 16, 2008 15:07 to the question "Any plans to get location from Fire Eagle?" in Plazes:

Here is the Plazes API: http://plazes.com/api/docs
No comments yet about our next product, sorry :-)

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

Mmm, really? Maybe our friend ruk experienced a short outage... For me http://ruk.ca/plazes/sms/PlazesSMS-Re... works just fine. – Giuseppe Bonetti, on October 16, 2008 15:06
Giuseppe Bonetti replied on October 16, 2008 15:04 to the problem "URL in comment" in Plazes:

Mmm, strange, I would say it is probably browser related, but if we both cannot reproduce the bug anymore it is difficult to come up with a theory...
If you ever encounter the same bug, please do not modify the comment and report it here.
Thanks for your help.

And much more :-)

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on October 16, 2008 13:50 to the idea "Alias for Plazes" in Plazes:

Thanks Yon for bringing up this problem.
However we should look at the solution a bit more in detail, because we should not improve one user experience (less characters for SMS) by worsening another one (users have to define Name and Alias for their Plazes)...
What do you think?

A comment on the idea "Integration with Upcoming (by Yahoo!)" in Plazes:

Please continue providing us with new exciting ideas :-) – Giuseppe Bonetti, on October 16, 2008 13:41
Giuseppe Bonetti replied on October 16, 2008 13:41 to the question "Any plans to get location from Fire Eagle?" in Plazes:

This is the current situation:
1) You update Fire Eagle in some way (let's say, automatically, via GPS)
2) Fire Eagle spots you somewhere, e.g. Monbijouplatz 5, Berlin, Germany
3) Plazes has to understand now where you actually are: at the Plazes HQ or at the cafe downstairs?
This is the big challenge, because Plazes works with context, not with pure geo-coordinates.

We might of course let you log in to Plazes, pull the coordinates from Fire Eagle and ask you where you actually are: you only have to choose among the few options provided or create a new Plaze, if necessary.

However, we are currently working on a more ambitious project that will unveil the power of the Nokia acquisition...

Hi Yon and thanks for reporting this.
Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce the bug :-(
I have been trying to insert a link in a comment, like here:
http://plazes.com/activities/6425977_haikus_at_plazes_berlin
but everything works just fine on different machines and configurations.
Please let me know, first of all, whether I understood the problem and/or whether you are still experiencing it.

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on October 15, 2008 09:34 to the question "Plazes comments gone?" in Plazes:

Yes, jank0, you're right, we do not offer the option to comment on a Plaze any longer.
This is because Plazes, in our vision, is not a platform to review or rate locations.
Plazes has been used in different way and it is still a very versatile application, however, with the redesign, we wanted to focus on our original concept.
We feel your disappointment but we think that Plazes is now much more tidy and usable than ever.

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on October 14, 2008 12:20 to the problem "Problem with SMS in US" in Plazes:

Hi gjlutz,
apparently we are experiencing some problems with the US number: we are going to fix it as soon as possible.
In the meanwhile, if it's not too expensive in your plan, use the German number instead:
+49 176 888 111 33

Giuseppe Bonetti replied on October 09, 2008 07:39 to the question "Has the facebook application been withdrawn?" in Plazes:

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
