Greetings, Earthlings!

This is the community for PublicEarth. It is important to know that this is a separate website, designed for the active users of the PublicEarth site, but fully separate. This means that joining here is not the same as joining there. We apologize for difficulties or confusion this creates.

Here, the main attraction are our BLOGS, FORUMS and GROUPS, although we maintain our site FAQ here, as well as some background pages on us.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR US -- use the Forums and start a discussion if you don't see your question already being discussed.

Click around and have fun. We hope this will increase your enjoyment of (and contribution to) this giant community wiki of place information.

Today's (Jan 27) New Features!

Hi Earthlings.

We've made a handful of helpful additions to the site and we'd appreciate your feedback. First, we added a simple way to add locations ("Create") using an address. It also works for lat/long. This should make adding places much easier.

Second, we revised the Search & Explore page - hopefully making browsing easier. The Category Browser has been promoted on the page - so its easier to find. And while you can still select a number of categories to look at on the map, to… Continue

Release Notes 12/17: Twitter and more...

Surprise: new features! I think we were just trying to get some last minute items in your holiday gift bag before we headed home for a few days to relax with our families...

So today we pushed a few improvements based on feedback from last weeks' PlaceBook introduction. The most interesting is our new Twitter integration. Among the details on every place page is a field for a Twitter name. If entered, a module appears on the page that displays tweets from that particular location. So wit… Continue

Tonight's Release 12/11: Introducing PlaceBook

Greetings Earthlings...

Something has shifted in the way we've been talking about, and using, PublicEarth -- and we think this will help everyone: What your iTunes library is to your music... what your Facebook friends are to your social sphere, what your Netflix queue is to your movies, what your Flickr albums are to your photos... this is what PublicEarth is to your "places" -- we're your personal library, your mobile atlas. We call this your PlaceBook.

By having a single place… Continue
