The new map is now on a few days.
What are your experiences with it?
We already heard about the pictures added today but are very curious about your other constructive remarks.

Hi Marcel and Joris,
as i already said, the new map is quick, concise and fun to play with using the search engine (yes, the deserts of the Netherlands :-))))). And it seems you adressed the two issues i came up with (city of the day zoom; the small typographic glitch - did you?).
Now there is one quirk:
- being at news I clicked on the map tab
- I didn't wait the city dots to appear but immediately clicked X added last 24 hours
- the map zoomed a little bit
- Instead of the SMALL number of the last-24-hour-city-dots ALL city dots appeared and all of them where highlighted yellow.
i hope this isn't the small thing that causes months of work!
cheers

Hi Joris,
When loading the page, it seems the map is a bit clipped on top and on the bottom; Antartica doesn't show. Horizontally, the map seems to be full aspect. Zooming out to 100% (with 131% as default zoom factor) doesn't work, so the only option is to pan the map.

Searching for short keywords still doesn't work perfectly. Searching for two-letter words (of, at) doesn't give results (but I agree it wouldn't be useful anyway). Searching for most three-letter words works for most words I tried (e.g., wet, dry, van) but not for 'new' and 'old'. Strange thing is that it does work for 'newer', 'oldest' etc.

Yup, 'new' and 'old' are on that list. It's a weird list, by the way. Apparently it doesn't contain nouns. Fortunately most words don't seem relevant for a Woophy search. I can hardly imagine someone searching for the keyword 'nevertheless', for instance. Yet, some words may need attention - for instance, numbers such as one, two, three are also forbidden. Is there a way to circumvent these forbidden words? Otherwise it is maybe a good idea to add a remark that nouns are preferred as search terms.

The new map is really better than before but I just wanted to know if it's normal that when we click on "added last 24 hours " photos no longer appear in the right column. (As it was a bit slow I understand that it can be removed for the smallest connection). Is it normal or does it came from my browser (firefox 1.5.0.4) ?
