I don't think Caroling's, Yuv's and others' thoughts are fetched too
far. (oops, that was a germanism, was it?)

Sorry Hans, but this reminds me of a JS style of making others belief
that your own hidden interests are theirs. Shame on you. That site is
directly connected to your economical interests.

You make money from clicks to your site(s) and want to push the wwp
community in a direction most of those are not really interested in.

This other page doesn't seem to promote VR itself or the wwp as a
special site, it has no special function to get a better access by
keywords (and if, that should be done on the wwp site itself)

No problem to link to a special page directly (QTVR with full caption
and option to see a fullscreen version for broadband visitors), there is
even a short version for the link.

Only our visitors will miss the caption. You seem to only hunt for the
spectacular images, some of us care for the complete content including
the story that comes with the picture.

Economic vs. artistic interests. The interface is also intersting for
those who want to present their artistic work, but the proposed
interface is just a bunch of thumbnails. I love WWP's globe view and I
care to surf the List with better thumbnails and short information.
The wwp how it is now is very interesting even for those professional
panographers who focus on their regional market.
I once had the chance to make some marketing combined with the shooting
for my submission and told you all in advance
(see http://tinyurl.com/fuqyt ) on this list about it
(Energy: http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp_rss/go/n1470 )
I can post the audio files for those who are interested and understand
German. I was interviewed live on air and what did you do? When I
arrived at the studio they asked me if I knew some strange guy from
denmark. You Hans contacted them directly and tried to hijack my efforts
for your own commercial interests. Thanks, Hans!
I don't think this new portal site is in the interest of the wwp "heart
and soul".
