Known Problems: Sign-Up Form & Set My Location

Michael Arrington wrote us up on TechCrunch today. We are going to get a lot of hits. I better inform the new users of known problems and about our next refresh.

First, the [Previous] and [Next] keys on the Sign-Up page do not work because of our JavaScript. Instead touch to move to a field. Then, use the back <x] key to delete the field-name before entering data.

Second, you can only change your location to another landmark inside the SF Bay Area with the “I’M HERE” feature in OpenLandmark. Unfortunately, there are very few landmarks in OpenLandmark yet. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We are working on a new refresh (target March 3). It will include bug fixes and internationalization (French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Chinese and Malay) for Fon11. Other languages will follow soon. Contacts will be sorted by availability and most recent. Nearby will include time zones so you know when not to call.

OpenLandmark will include new posting pages to speed up the seeding of landmarks. This will allow us to enable more metropolitans around the world.

Thank you for using our products.
