When we started this site back and April (and were immediately overwhelmed with the huge amount of interest we received), we joked about getting boingboinged, although we never imagined that it would really happen.
However, after 6 months and over 500 posts, we've actually done it! Very strange that it's on a 3 month-old post though... Regardless, we are collectively pleased as punch and have added this trophy alongside our Slashdotting over on the press page.
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for reading, commenting and supporting us along the way, we've been having a great time and intend to do so for as long as you're interested.
P.S. The only old threads that actually still gets regular comments are 'Alien Civilisation', where they've been debating theories for over 4 months, and the infamous 'UFO Updates' post where, despite closing the original thread people are still discussing their theories 5 months later!

No its Jesus
I’m with Mark… it’s Gandalf.
This picture has been posted before as “Jesus’ Face in a Sand Dune” (despite it actually being an alluvial plane).
Anyway, congrats on all the successes, Sightseeing guys. I was glad to add what I could to your site. This is a truly awesome place, I know it can only get bigger!

Thanks for the support Matthew, the image posted was the one from the article which boing boing linked to, hence the jesus comments here… 😉
I am from scotland uk and your site is not only irrelevent to travellers but is ridiculous. I also travel to London Uk and your map pointer is the most confusing satallite indication on earth. Do you want me to to tell you where Buckingin Palace is for a starter. Where are the Parliaments and where is my Scottish castle which happens to be in the centre of Edinburgh. Get your maps to mach the excitement of your website. Dont fluff cos you have a bigger opportunitiy to make it better
Please note that I am talking only about the GOOGLE Earth site. Google get your maps together. Plse You Americans and other travallers do not use google web to visit europe
