Yep... I guess I play too many puzzles. I've appended "Fry's Electronics" to the name. Hoping this will help the duplicate spots. C'est la vie! Thanks for all the great replies. :)

Creativity vs. Bland?

So, I have a question for the Gowallites. When we first started creating places I opted to give "creative" names to spots rather than go for the "simply obvious." Case in point, I decided to label the Fry's Electronics store "Geek Stuff" rather than "Fry's Electronics." I was thinking it added a little flair to the game rather than a "yellow pages" feel to checking in. The problem is that people keep adding "Fry's Electronics" as a new spot. I can see both points of view but I was curious what YOU thought.

Thoughts?

I wonder if we could figure out where the trailer was?

Actually, I was worried this request got lost in the shuffle. I was able to find one this weekend. Irene, thanks for the generous offer. I hope you had a great trip in SoCal.

Jonathan,

I was curious ... I haven't seen this icon show up for me.

This was your response from a couple of days ago.

Oh, we're sad, too! Everyone was supposed to get it, yes, and while we had a bit of a bug, we thought we had squashed it. We'll get you hooked up, Joe (and anyone else out there who can prove a check-in at Crush It but didn't get a book

MiSSing Crush It! item

"Crush It" book item. We had a great time at the Gary Vee event and picked up the Crush It! spot while also running into other Gollallites (Geoff Brown, Rob Bracket, Dave Bedingfield) but I noticed I didn't receive my Crush It Book item. Was this a bug .. was everybody that checked in supposed to get the item?

Where would you stick this?

How would you categorize a "farm?" Hey, it's pumpkin patch season. I'm looking for advice from my fellow gowallites. What category would you pick for a farm?

Awww... Can't I have the nifty icon on my spot?

My eagle-eyed Gowalla Buddy (acordova) noticed that Team Gowalla made a spot last week at the same location I made a spot six months ago in March. (Sure, I was trying to make the name a bit creative ..)

Awwww... can't I have a pretty icon too? Shouldn't we "merged" this two spots?

Lol... who is this "Team Gowalla" and shouldn't we give them a list of legacy sites?

Best,

joescales...

Who knows, they may do that in the future. (psst.. anikewl, you "can" turn them completely off in your settings area on the site.) That might help with the Inbox Zero initiative. ;)

Kudos for the email notices

Kudos.... I really like the new email notices. It helps remind me of the sites I need to "tidy" up.

Please delete this spot: http://gowalla.com/spots/33471

Please Delete this duplicate:

http://gowalla.com/spots/33471

I was a bit over zealous and didn't see the spot that was already there.
(Do "we" want duplicate requests in NEW postings or should we have a dedicated thread for them?)

Duplicate Spots

Nothing against Andy Brett... but should we marry these two duplicate spots?

joescales replied on September 25, 2009 21:23 to the idea "Street View or View in Google Maps?" in Gowalla:

Yea... I was thinking it should be best enabled as "View in Google Maps." (Spawn a new window and allow you continue searching in Google Maps....never lose the original window.)

joescales shared an idea in Gowalla on September 25, 2009 16:07:

Street View or View in Google Maps?

Would it be possible to add "Street View" or "View in Google Maps" to the Gowalla Map?
Sometimes I would like to get a "fly over" to see what the area looks like before hitting a spot.
The addition of Street View, or access to it would help.

Thoughts?

Well.. it was still happening all weekend. "Something" must have changed this morning. I'm not getting the error anymore. (I'm not getting any listings but that could just be that there aren't any twitter friends playing.) I'll keep an eye on it and let you know if it happens again. Thanks for looking into this.

Best,
