Thanks.

That is fantastic! I want one!

If you put one in the Gowalla store, I'd buy one.

I can tell you it's 34 stories of marble and glass. Former President Reagan had offices there for several years post-presidency. But, really, nothing is more important than the fact that John McClane kicked the crap out of Hans Gruber there.

Ahhh. No. That is the "infamous" Fox Plaza high rise building. Also known as "Nakatomi Tower" from the first Die Hard film. Located just off the backlot property.

Thanks!

Mislabeled spot? #213622

This spot is labeled "Fox Lot", but is located at the Rancho Park Golf Course (check the satellite image). There is already a spot for "Fox Studios" (#74893).

Can spot #213622 either be changed to read "Rancho Park Golf Course", or merged into the existing Fox Studios spot (#74893).

Gowalla summary for Facebook?

I would love to see some sort of activity summary application for Facebook that would allow users to add the summary to their profile. Similar to Xbox 360 Live Gamercard, which shows a summary of games played, etc.; the Gowalla summary could just take that summary page when you log in to the web and show it on your Facebook account.

I almost never use the Facebook interface because I don't want every check in to clutter up my page, but I would love a summary box.

Plus .. bonus .. might get more people to ask "Hey, what's that about?"

Spot #13820 needs to be moved.

If you pan to the left, you can see the mall's location on the Google map. The spot was created a few blocks off.

I love the idea of filters, especially if there's a way to toggle them on and off. I wouldn't want to filter out spots I've been to, only to forget that I've already checked in somewhere and mistakenly create a duplicate spot.

I also like the rule of thumb from Lewis. Excellent point.

Great ideas to be brainstormed into realities.

Lindazilla replied on November 11, 2009 21:55 to the question "Nominate Spots for Deletion/Deactivation?" in Gowalla:

Going back to the original question which was a process to nominate a spot for deletion, I don't see why you wouldn't just report it under the current process the same as you would a duplicate spot or a spot in the wrong place.

I don't think anyone except the person that created the spot or the Alamofire staff should be able to delete a spot.

However, as Gina said, there's nothing to stop someone else (or the same person) from creating the spot again.

As for "chains", I don't see how the existence of the Starbucks on your iPhone screen truly impedes your ability to enjoy Gowalla. I think not checking in to those spots you deem to be boring or unworthy is enough. (Especially if Alamofire finds a way to either filter spots or increase the number of spots that show up on your phone.)

Personally, I'd just be happy if people would take the time to check the location of the spot they are creating to make sure the spot is in the right damn place. Half the spots I run across are in the wrong place, sometimes off by a block or two.

(Disclaimer: "YOU" is the universal "you", not any one person in particular.)

Lindazilla replied on November 09, 2009 18:06 to the question "Increase number of "Nearby spots"" in Gowalla:

I would love to see an increase in the number of spots and/or a way to filter what you see. The one thing I don't want to see happen, tho, is the deletion of spots. If something is silly or inane to one person, that doesn't mean it is to the person that created the spot.
