Now you can add VIDEO to any Stickymap location. This feature allows you to post any video on youtube.com to our site. If you have your own video that you’d like to put up, just put it on YouTube, and then add it to Stickymap.
This is brand new, so I encourage our users to try it out, and let us know how it goes. I look forward to seeing this being used over the next few weeks. The videos will appear on the widget as well.

I’m working on a new piece of functionality that will fit it well with our current system. Please check this blog in the next few days!
Just a development update:
Today we gutted the internals of moving markers. These changes will do a couple of things:
First, it will restrict user’s ability to move markers to only markers that haven’t been edited by other registered users. This is because moving markers can be as destructive as removing markers. The result will be that if you create a marker, you’ll be able to move it, but if a marker already have edits, photos, or any additions from other users, you’ll be asked to report the marker instead. We’ll see how this works, and we’ll be able to tweak the security settings as feedback is received.
Secondly, it will make it easier for us to monitor which markers are being moved and how often. This will hopefully make it easier for us to spot vandalism and reverse it.
This is not in reaction to any problem that has occurred so far, but in preparation for further traffic and newer features that will be added to the site.
