Close to walking away...

I used to take photos specifically to include in Panoramio.  I would even plan specific outings to locations that had no Panoramio photos.

I used to upload hundreds of photos a year.

I used to be careful to use a GPS to capture a track log of every photo outing.

I would download the track logs and use them to geolocate all of my photos.

When I uploaded, I would review the mapping for accuracy, and frequently enter a Snap To location.  

I would add tags and titles and captions.

I would then go and see what my "friends" have uploaded.

I can't say I watched the stats like a hawk, but I tried to notice major trends and events.

But now...

When planning photo outings, I hardly even think of Panoramio.

In the last six months, I've uploaded less than 10 photos.

I may still carry a GPS, but I never download the track log or automatically geolocate my photos.

On the rare occasions I do upload, I will still map and will snap-to if convenient.

I still add a few tags, and titling is easy enough.

But few of my friends are uploading any more.

I can't remember the last time I looked at my stats page.

I have less and less reason to come here.  Great job, Google.

I used to be careful to use a GPS to capture a track log of every photo outing. - I never forget where I took a photo but I was very careful to map a photo where I was standing
I would then go and see what my "friends" have uploaded. - I try to remember! However I go on photo rants and spend hours looking through google maps on where I want to go next.


On the rare occasions I do upload, I will still map and will snap-to if convenient. - Photos are always mapped to where I was standing (to within a few feet).

I've stopped uploading to Pano. What's the point?

OK, I want MY photos to appear on Google Earth, but as a second choice ..... ?

I can't agree with this more.
