挨踢G讯
由. Ken Wong on 2007-06-01

报道完一连串的开发者日相关的消息后,现在终于可以松一口气关注一下Google的其它新闻。什么是最典型的Google新闻?当然是"收购"啦,还得记Google的收购团队如何强大,每星期会收购多少间大大小小的公司么?在Google的一份官方声明稿里,Google宣布将会正式收购Panoramio。Panoramio是西班牙的一个极流行的社会化图片分享网站,允许用户上传图片并且对图片进行地理标记。我相信很多朋友早就已经是Panoramio的用户了,即使你不是,你也可能早就在Google Earth里见过Panoramio了,因为它从今年年初开始,就已经是Google Earth的一个合作伙伴,在Google Earth里的默认图层列表里,Panoramio就是其中一个。
在Panoramio里,用户不仅可以对自己拍摄的图片进行地理定位,还可以直接查看在Google Earth/Maps里查看自己的图片。而用户也可以搜索其它用户的图片,提交自己对于图片地理位置数据的编辑建议。此外,Panoramio还向开发者提供API,允许他们直接将Panoramio的功能嵌入自己的网站里。
这是一次完整的收购,Google将会获得Panoramio的网站、技术、内容、开发团队及用户社区。被Google收购后,Panoramio的开发团队将加入Google,将和Google开发团队一起将Panoramio的资源整合进Google的地图技术里。而Panoramio官方网站则继续正常运作,用户的使用并不会被这次收购影响。而Panoramio也将继续作为Google Earth的默认图层。
尽管Google惯常地不透露花了多少钱才买下Panoramio,但不难想像,Google将会利用Panoramio的技术及内容,完善旗下的地图产品及图片相关产品及服务,包括允许用户上传图片至Picasa Web Albums后,直接进行定位及在Google Earth/Maps里浏览。这次收购对于Google的上述产品的社会化及整合都大有好处。

有Panoramio+Picasaweb后,完全可以抛弃烂Flickr了

今天收到了Panoramio发的信,通知了这一“big”news,通知说,在两周内您的资料都将转到Google上,当然你可以OPt-out(不参加)。全文如下:
=================================
Dear bnudahu
As you know, sending unsolicited emails is something we're not in the habit of doing, but in this case, we thought the news was big enough to justify it.
Panoramio is going to be acquired by Google!
The deal is set to close in about two weeks. We're excited and we hope you are too! The acquisition will be an overwhelmingly good thing for Panoramio uploaders and viewers alike. Uploaders will get to leverage Google's reach, increasing the exposure of their photographs to photophiles around the world. Viewers will get to choose from a larger universe of photographs as Panoramio becomes more widely known.
We understand you may have questions, so we've set up a Q&A to help. Go to Q&A to learn more.
We owe our dedicated users a debt of gratitude for making Panoramio the success that it is. Thank you! And stay tuned; we intend to repay that debt by bringing making Panoramio bigger and better than ever.
Sincerely,
Panoramio Team
Opt-out
We promised in our Terms of Use that you'd be given a chance to opt-out of the transfer of your personal information to a company that acquired us. If you take no action, the rights to your data will transfer, unmodified, from Panoramio to Google upon close of the acquisition. Choosing to opt out will terminate your user agreement with Panoramio, trigger the removal of your photos from the Panoramio database, and prevent the transfer of data rights to Google.
