Publish Your Panoramic Photography at Panoye
Posted by Gina Trapani at 7:15 AM on May 13, 2008
Now that you know how to stitch together panoramic photos with free software, publish your creations at Panoye, a panoramic sharing web site. Panoye users are building "a virtual tour all around Earth" with user-submitted panoramic images. Upload, tag, geotag, and share your panoramas on Panoye, which offers YouTube-like HTML markup to embed a pannable panoramic image onto your own web site, like the one after the jump:

When you fall in love with a photo and decide you must see the scene with your own eyes, check the accompanying map for its exact location.

This sounds like Google Map, which has been using the panoramic approach at the street level view. However, I find that it doesn't work too well. Google's implementation feels so 2D.
Off topic: I know this is irrelevant, but since LifeHacker has no forum, I am not sure where to post this question.
I understand LifeHacker is part of the Gawker Media Network, which seems to be related to photography. However, why are there so many weird photos all over the place called Gawker Artists? To be honest, most of the photos are quite disturbing. For instance on my screen right now, there is one of a toy rabbit flashing its breasts (what the hell?), and another of a "dead" woman lying on the ground next to a tree. I have no idea what is going through the mind of the photographer.
I wouldn't mind if the photos were artistic like the ones on InterfaceLIFT, or Flickr's "interesting" category. Does anyone else feel the same way? I am not a puritan (I enjoy my FHM like any guy), just that I am not all that comfortable opening LifeHacker at work, because people think it's a "weirdo" site, rather than the IT site that it is.
Again I apologise for going off topic.

Agree...much of it is disturbing, even more of it's ugly.
I guess the "art" some sort of attempt to create a brand for Gawker, but (1) it's empty posing, and (2) it clashes so strongly with the Lifehacker brand that it's almost always jarring.

Interesting, but I don't like the panorama viewer too much.
...coincidentally, earlier this year I was working on my own panorama viewer in Flash, which hopefully i'll finish soon: [iestyn.net]

Quite frankly I hadn't noticed the "Gawker Media Network" section on the left - I had only noticed (in a cursory fashion) the thumbnail images with captions and thought it was some kind of ad space. And, like most web surfers, I ignore ads in favor of content.
Looking at them now, they make no sense to me. "WEIRD SCENES INSIDE THE GOLD MINE?" WTF? This space seems rather juvenile to me. Not offended, just a "Hmm. Whatever" and move on...
