Welcome to followtheplace.com, the new cool site to share and follow places!
Wanted ever to see how the Edinburgh castle looks at night? How Times Square celebrates? If there is enough snow up the mountains? Just sign-in to followtheplace.com and start sharing geo-tagged photos. It is easy as e-mail, you have only to send your photos to photos@followtheplace.com. From your favorite e-mail client or your mobile phone. Everything works.
We are very excited to provide you with real-time updates about your favorite spots and with what your friends are looking at.
Start now uncovering places! We are looking forward to it.
Is there a way to customize a stream, or see only a certain group on the map?
Hi Kim — the map view displays only the actual and visible photos in the grid. So when you scroll down the grid and load more photos, the map view shows more too. Non registered users can see map views of ‘all photos’, of photos of a person, and of photos of a place. Registered users can also view on the map photos they have uploaded themselves (‘my photos’), photos of people they follow and photos of places they follow. In this sense you can customise the photo stream.
Thanks for your comment and stay tuned!

Dear FTP-Team (nice TLA, hm?),
some ideas/hints/wishes for the next version:
- a summary email about foto addings of my followers (better: to be adjustable in settings) would be nice instead of one email per message about whatever changed … (MW and me talked on this in Lindau)
- would be so nice to have the image as a preview thumb, when it is linked like on facebook … FB People click almost on everthing, so a lot more might come here!
- would be even so nice to have a button either on the image or within the upload confirmation email to share it on facebook (easiest way to get my friends to this site ..)
- btw. can I invite my friends in a more convenient, comfortable way?
- a zoomable map view of the whole world (GI might remember what I mean) … to boldly go where nobody has gone before (JW awakened the badge chaser in me …)
aaand finally:
STILL CANNOT WAIT FOR FOLLOWTHEFOOD!!!
(Apart from the native builtin share button on iOS … but ok, GI said, he waits for an financial offer of them, to allow them to do this.)
Best,
C.
P.S.:
Very well done all that even up to now …
