First crewed flight for VSS Enterprise

According to a tweet from Richard Branson and to Virgin News released today, VSS Enterprise realized it's first crewed flight on July the 15th 2010. And what does it have to do with quovadislive.com? One year ago NASA and the rest of the world celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the first moonwalk. For the occasion we released a small control showing on every map whereby the earth latitude and longitude coordinates where projected on the moon. That was our way to pay a tribute to the 400,000 people involved in the Apollo Mission. The Spaceship Projects represent to us the same than the Apollo Program or Yeager breaking the sound barrier in a level flight on October 14th 1947 or Columbus (re-) discovering America in 1492. In our opinion all these projects are among the few that embody the true spirit of Entrepreneurship. It makes the human being greater by pushing the limits a little bit further every time. And at QuoVadis Live! it encourages us to push the outside of the enveloppe every day a little bit more. Kudos to the guys at Spaceship and in particular Spaceshipone. Here a truly inspirational presentation by Burt Rutan. Kudos and thanks!

Local Search on quovadislive.com

We've just released a tool to search places nearby an event. Of course, the local search feature is not new. But it's still handy to have! Therefore whenever you land on a geoevent page on quovadislive.com you can easily have nearby hotels, restaurants, shops, etc. showing on the map around the location the event is taking place.

Check it out at quovadislive.com!

Google Earth on QuoVadis Live!

Good news for all the Google Earth aficionados out there. We've just integrated Google Earth into QuoVadis Live! When clicking the "View" button on the top-right of a map, you can switch between Map View to Satellite View to Bird's Eye to Street View and from now on also to Google Earth View. Meaning you can now view geoevents locations, friends geolocations, places and geotours in 3-D, zoom out to space and zoom in back to earth, look around the buildings, etc.

Privacy Rules on QuoVadis Live!

Privacy is a big thing for us at QuoVadis Live! Thus everytime you map a geeovent you can decide who to share it with: everybody, only a few or "for your eyes only". The same applies to geotours, groups you setup or when you map your geolocation. But rather than a lot of bla... bla... bla... and to make a long story short our in-house cartoonist has once again gone straight to the point. Enjoy!

Groups in QuoVadis Live!

Kinda re-edit however worth reminding. As stated in this post a while ago, QuoVadis Live! members can create their own groups so other members with same interests can share geoevents, geotours and even discuss. Thus you can create a group of fans for your favourite band to share gigs and exchange experiences or, if you're in a club, a group to post club events or a group for your organisation, your industry, etc. Basically you can create a virtual space where people with common interests can not only network online but also organise and manage networking events.
