GeoURL rocks

February 07, 2005

Within the last two days, GeoURL.info received an overwhelming feedback by new registered sites. Up-to-date, there are over 315 sites registered. That are more than 200 within less than 2 days! Wow!!

My special thanks also to all of you, who are helping to spread the news about the new GeoURL.info service! If you haven't told your blogbuddies or friends about the relaunched GeoURL service, so do it straight away - now!

I will try to bring forward some improvements within the next days, including:

  • Browsing through the database, that means that different entry points for searches will be possible.
  • Providing some little icons, which I have collected from various sites. :-)
  • Customizable layout for the main search results page, that means, it will be possible to provide an alternative style-sheet location. This enhancement will allow you to integrate the search results page within your blog or site in a sidebar or where ever and in your page's style and design.
  • Improved input information checking during the registering process, that means disallowing IP addresses as URLs, or forcing to enter 'http://' for every URL, better duplicate URL handling etc.
  • RSS syndication of user-defined searches
  • Major and minor bug fixes regarding functionality as well as style/layout.

If you have any suggestions or ideas, how to improve GeoURL.info or features you'd like to see in the future, so let me know and me a line!

Enjoy the new GeoURL.info!

    hope this works out, it sounds like a pretty big undertaking for one guy. i have seriously missed geourl though, and with just one person at the helm your remake could add some cool extentions to the idea. glad to see you're currently retaining the simple charm of the original though...

    Dude if you check the original site http://geourl.org/ there is a notice up (as of today) stating the following:
    "The new site will be opened up to the public on or around Friday, February 18th, 2005 — please be patient. :-)"
    I don't know if this will make you want to rethink your project, I guess it depends if they still have their old database intact. Anyway thought I'd let you know in case you hadn't seen it yourself already.
    Cheers.

    Hi, demonsurfer,

    yes I realized this and I already wrote them an email to offer my cooperation since it does not make sense to have two services with the same goal.

    However, I am still waiting for a response from them!

    Cheers, Daniel

    Just registered for your service.

    DO you have an RSS feed with UNFORMATTED results similar to the results returned here:

    http://www.geourl.info/near/?lat=39.94043959&lon=-86.05905849&dist=16

    ???

    I'd like to pull the list in and drop it into my site like I used to do with GeoURL.org


    Thanks!

    Hi Doug,

    yes, I know that this would be a nice feature. As I also mentioned in my post above, this feature is already on my to-do list. As soon as I find the time I will implement it!

    Cheers, Daniel!

    Hi,

    thanks for offering this cool service again. Anyway here is something to better: I moved recently and want my page to be pinged again, but it is not allowed (double URL entry). Would be nice to be able to tell geoURL when your location changed. :-)

    Greetings
    Magdalena
