Poslao chrisrydz u 31 August 2009 na jeziku English.

for such a great idea, this site is very very poorly done. Hopefully someone will continue this idea, but get it right... Google, you listening?

Please note down, what exactly is poorly made - at least in your opinion. Without naming the problems no one knows what to fix.

Google copied us ages ago, except their data isn't open.

What specifically do you not like about the site?

"Google, you listening?"

Their take on it is "let's get people to do our work for us for free".

For something so poorly done, it's funny that contributors have seen fit and managed to submit over 30 million ways to openstreetmap.

Hi Chris

Having been bitten once or twice, I have developed an aversion to feeding trolls, but as you think OSM is 'such a great idea' *and* you made the effort to create an account and a diary entry...

Remember, there is no 'someone' to 'continue this idea' - except you - and me - oh, and about half a million others.

One the best thing about OSM - no matter what your skill set, there is always something positive you can contribute - it will be your legacy. OSM will improve with every person that gives something back to the greater good.

Google is obviously not listening - all user generated content comes under the same licensing restrictions as the main maps. Google are content to take advantage of the public's confusion with (or ignorance of) the difference between Free (libre) and free (gratis). An unfortunate quirk of the English language.

Regards

Philip
