New Tagzania
As soon as the migration finished, we launched new Tagzania. These are some interesting points:
- This new version has been written using Django.
- New design. We have worked with La Personnalite, a Basque design firm.
- At the moment, we just have three languages (English, Spanish and Basque). We’ll add soon new languages, at least the same languages we had in the previous version. We’d like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to our users.
- Less is more. Our goal was cleaning Tagzania. We’ve tried hard to design clear user experiences and have useful features for our users, like Panoramio’s photos or multiple icons.
This has been an important step for us, but it’s just the first one. We’re fixing bugs and improving this new Tagzania.
Hope we’ll have your collaboration.
By the way, what do you think about new Tagzania?

I like the new look, very clean.
The new icons are ‘cute’ (that’s meant as a compliment!). It would be cool if there was a little tool to make custom ones.
While I realise that there are millions of photo’s on Panoramio, when I first clicked on ‘photo’s’ I expected it to show photo’s that Tagzania members had uploaded with their points.
One question about search from the home page. If you time a name of a city, say Cardiff it shows lots of points in Cardiff. You can then click on a list of ‘users’ for a list of users who have points in that city. When you clik on an user’s name, I’d have expected to be shown their points in that city/locality rather than being taken to their user page showing their recent points (which could be anywhere in the world). Maybe an option could be added to local points?

Hi Rhys:
I’m glad you like this new look.
Custom icons: could be an interesting feature. We’ll think about it. Thanks!
What you point about photos is interesting. We’ve added Panoramio’s photos to enrich that place’s information, and currently, they have more photos than us.
Your last idea is really helpful and we’ll try to do what you mention as soon as possible.
Thanks for your time Rhys!!

Dear Tagzania team,
the service has just lost its usefulness to us as there seems to no longer be a way to display ALL our tags on a single map. Instead, what you can now see is a SELECTION of our tags. If we cannot have the old style, or some other way of displaying all our place marks, we’ll unfortunately have to look for another solution.
Sincerely

Thanks in advance
