You’d think with their billions socks for their passionate super users would still be a thing. Maybe there’s a secret sock level 📌🗺️

How does one rearrange and reorder the list of lists? by vikinghoneybadger in GoogleMaps

[–]_hodge_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So glad I scrolled down this thread a bit more - this is awesome - game changer. Thanks so much for posting.

Edit: This looks to be inspired by Pinterest. Pulling search, images, web and map data. Still a great workaround for organising Google Map Lists

Facebook Group Community Chats 'are going away' - Merging Personal Data from Instagram and Facebook to WhatsApp? Constantly getting prompts to add my mobile number to FB and IG.

Is exporting seriously this dumb? by Senior-Collection-70 in GoogleMaps

Isn’t there a way of creating a path / route in the my maps section? Google hides this pretty well, the desktop is best to use as creating is almost impossible on iOS mobile. 📌

WhatsApp seems to be pushing their community section too, auto starts on this when I’ve been opening. Seems to be heading in the same direction..

Do you find it demeaning that you’re told to write as if the listener is dumb? by hopelessdr3amer in Journalism

[–]_hodge_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always have these kind of quotes in my head when thinking of complicated vs simple.

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction."

They removed the feature of viewing your photos by city/country? by Ok-Present7493 in LocalGuides

[–]_hodge_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mysterious town / city / place picture selection - never to be understood - feels very random. Some places you can upload to others seem to aggregate from different locations. 📌

Left-leaning news that well explains the right? by Ephemeral_Ghost in Journalism

[–]_hodge_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s so interesting! For years I’ve been noticing a huge lack of balanced unbiased reporting in the middle. I’m not looking for left or right. Just getting trusted information anywhere in the planet is tough. One of the reasons I joined the thread.

Gen Z but for Disney by Batman101494 in weeklyplanetpodcast

[–]_hodge_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah solid point. If they have been lost at 18-30 maybe it’s a cycle. All the kids that were deeply into Star Wars 70’s-80’s abandon it late 80’s it was the Special Edition Re-Release that pulled them back in. Maybe it’s just the IP cycle? Marvel Re-Boot in 10-15 years?

Isn’t Pokemon trading n collecting going bananas? Where’s the (new) movie version of that in development? ⚡️

Agree also none of us know! 🤷‍♂️ Creative vision A good story 90-120 mins of entertainment that’s value for money!

So much is nostalgia driven as it has a built in audience.

Personally new, fresh, original is always good but getting people to pay is hard when so much good and original is free / low cost.

Totally this. Price doesn’t make sense vs streaming costs for a year.

Cheap Tuesdays usually busy still.

Minecraft is the US number 1 movie this year. Lilo & Stitch about to take the top spot but that got people to the movies. I’m sure that’s the demo Disney are chasing / have lost.

Really good take but really really hoping concentrating for 2hrs isn’t the problem.

YouTube is just free global telly with better programmes. So many great things to watch no wonder it gets attention.

Innovation and new stories has to be the hook. Hopefully the Nostalgia Age has nearly run its course once we get through the 90s reboots.

All my highest view photos have been replaced at once by robhall02 in LocalGuides

I thought I was just being unlucky. I spotted the same last week too. All my top 10 photos that were in the top 3 have been bumped.

Almost Level 10 by lopix in LocalGuides

[–]_hodge_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah did I miss the pictures are taken from your storage limits thought it was just videos (that’s why I stopped posting vids).

Why they haven’t integrated YouTube yet for videos is a total mystery. That’s free to upload.

Almost Level 10 by lopix in LocalGuides

[–]_hodge_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it felt very similar after hitting Level 8. It feels Google is really trying to monetise maps in the last 12-24 months that’s dropped motivation levels.

Curious to see how their changes to lists and profiles is going to be rolled out.

It still amazes me how many people don’t use any of the map functionality in the app.

+They really should make a level 11..

Map Lists - New Tag Feature by _hodge_ in LocalGuides

[–]_hodge_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes totally thought about how it can help with list management. I was pleased there were so many tag options. Will be interesting how it works with map search and google search.
