Just in case you hadn’t noticed yet, we’ve finally made the move to a permanent domain. Welcome to googlesightseeing.com!

RSS feed has also been updated (googlesightseeing.com/feed/), as has the comments RSS feed (googlesightseeing.com/comments/feed/).

We’ve also been getting more press coverage. There’s an article over at the Weekly Planet about Google Maps which James was interviewed for (which looks like it’ll be the cover story in the print edition too), and I did an interview for Newsweek.

Thanks again for all the support we’ve received from everybody! :-D

    I noticed you changed the URL a few days ago. Keep up the excellent work.

    I’m curious, I just switched to the new RSS feed, but how are you guys still providing the feed on the old site?

    Were you simply redirecting my feed reader to the new RSS feed?

    Usman, as you guessed the site is just being redirected from the old url so the old feed continues to work, as should category and post links.
