Say Hi to the New Fwix.com

With our Geotagger Button annoucement last week, you likely noticed our new Fwix.com. The new site deserves a separate post. While the whole site was redesigned, there are 2 significant changes to the site:

     1.The Geotagger Button is now available for everyone and free to use.

     2. Brand New Place Pages for over 25,000,000 places.

You can check out the brand new place pages by simply entering your favorite place or location in the search box. In the example below, I'll type in "SoMa" -- which is a neighborhood here in San Francisco.

Once you select the location, you can then view all the content (news, events, reviews, photos, tweets, social media) we have geotagged about that place in a news feed. The news feed is awesome -- either view the 'featured' news feed or the 'most recent' feed of geotagged content. We're excited about these place pages because you can see the breadth and depth of our geotagger in action. It demonstrates the capabilities of this location-based search index where users can find relevant information about a place. You can view this referenced page here.
