Now where the heck is that?

Paddy Murphy's is no longer seeing double.

A comment on the problem "DUPLICATES [enter to be sorted]" in Gowalla:

@ASimba :: actually, I believe you are correct. A lot of these duplicates cropped up once that "New Spot" button appeared on the Passport page in the latest release. This completely circumvents the need to even look at the Spots list. – Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd, on November 04, 2009 20:32

Literally just did this and updated the description as well (original did not have one and the one to be merged was "throw-away" copy). – Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd, on November 04, 2009 20:24

The 3 Waverly Inns are now merged.

The 2 New York Aquariums are now merged. However, a "No Method Error" results from attempting to further edit the spot (ie: to change the icon). – Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd, on November 04, 2009 20:17

Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd replied on November 04, 2009 15:52 to the question "Please move spot" in Gowalla:

But, it's currently on Bay St. – so, does that technically mean it is correct? In that it is an Aquarium by the Bay?

I keed. I keed!

A comment on the idea "Nominate the Elite" in Gowalla:

Alas, it is too late for me to add my name to the original list there. However, my name appears at the end of the post and I shall use that to signify my own hat tossed into the mix. ;)

Elsewhere, a snappy nomination for yourself, Mr. Culpepper, in your continued awesomeness for Gowall'ing Louisiana so diligently! – Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd, on November 04, 2009 14:52

Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd replied on November 04, 2009 01:39 to the problem "incorrect number of checkins" in Gowalla:

I guess the UI failure is somewhat subjective based on how you consume the data displayed. For me, it has always made sense and that could purely be due to my perceiving it in that manner from the start. When reading the "Top 10" text, it isn't conflicting with the activity list below the map.

However, I do agree that the "People who have checked in here..." should be renamed to something more accurate to what that list entails (such as your "Recent Activity" suggestion). There are several little details like this that I'm sure the Gowalla team will eventually fix.

Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd replied on November 04, 2009 01:18 to the problem "incorrect number of checkins" in Gowalla:

What you are seeing is the most recent check in. Hence the reason you're not seeing the check in from 21 days ago. Since creating the spot, you have checked into that location 4 more times. If you trade and/or drop an item, that event will be recorded separate from your check in as well.

The People have a voice and it is lovingly embodied in the decorative and awesome Gowalla!

Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd shared an idea in Gowalla on November 03, 2009 22:33:

Nominate the Elite

Just as the subject states, here is an opportunity to nominate those Gowallites in (or out) of your area for the prestigious role of Street Team Elite – including yourself.

These are the superb spot stalwarts that are notable to you whether by policing (gently) the neighborhood, promoting the game in all its glory, or through creative descriptions they bestow on the most common of entries to the Gowalla catalogue.

Again, feel free to nominate yourself as well as those you think deserving of such administrative accolades.

A tip of the hat, a nod of the bean and a hearty "Hear, Hear!" to the following nominees:
Todd Ginsberg (Austin, TX)
Gina Rybolt (Foster City, CA)
Elizabeth Hayes (Bothell, WA)
Jennifer Doyle (Houston, TX)
Marcia Gillespie-Norder (Austin, TX)
Patrick Haney (Somerville, MA)
Irene Chin (San Francisco, CA)
Lee Nixon (Newark, Notts, UK)
Jo Carter (London, UK)

Please don't feel left out if you don't see your name on this, admittedly, short list. Truly, these folks are at the top of my mind and are surely some of the loudest in our community.

As always, Happy Gowall'ing!
Dr. Peddingferd

A comment on the idea "Limited Edition Items Management" in Gowalla:

At the time of the original posting, the Venture Capital coin was believed (by me and maybe, -maybe- a handful of others) to be this super limited edition item. Turns out it wasn't meant to have been released into the wild at all. Ultimately, that plus the Crush It! Book got me thinking about the Item System within Gowalla which struck up this very informative conversation. – Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd, on November 03, 2009 05:14

Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd replied on November 02, 2009 22:22 to the idea "Gowalla handout's" in Gowalla:

This is currently accomplished by receiving a "Street Team Kit" which includes stickers, window clings/decals, shirts and more.
