Choose your way:

Try the people search



Click at the user name in the image view



Hack the URL and add the user:username
For example: http://loc.alize.us/#/user:mikk/

Want an editor like: http://www.wikiwyg.net/ :)

does anybody here has got experiences with free wiki services and may recommend one?

Well, there are lots of free mailers (like GMX, Web.de, Hotmail, ...) and free weblogs (like Typolis, Twoday.net, Blogger, ...) around, but do also free wiki services exist?

Similar to images with video manager, preview etc. Needs support for 3gp/mpg video. Also interesting for moblogging!

Use the link "Find your place!" on the top left. The interface will change slightly.

Sample search terms are:

• Hamburg, Germany
• Hamburg
• Germany
• Schäferstr. 24, Hamburg, Germany (for streetlevel accuracy)
• W 110th street, NYC
• NYC
• 10005 (a ZIP code of downtown Manhattan)
• 62703 or Springfield, IL (for Springfield, Illinois)

Be creative in searching and try some varying search terms! For different countries we have different accuracy levels in address data.

To save traffic and offer a more convenient web application, loc.alize.us does not reload the whole page. Only the map tiles and the contents shown on the map are transferred.

Nevertheless the back/forward navigation provided by your web browser works. Try it to find back to the place where you started your journey!

Select a tag from the tagcloud



Use the tag-search



Directly hack the URL. For example: http://loc.alize.us/#/tag:snow/

How can you tweak your typolis blog to show more than three-day's stories on the frontpage?
I'd like to show the stories of a full week on the frontpage.

(As I know from different antville installations this setting is done in the blog's preferences, but -- seemingly -- disabled in favour of a default setting of 3 days.)

You want to post as easy as possible? Here is the way to go! Bookmark one of the links below and edit its properties. Replace "sandbox" with the name of your blog. Now you can surf the web and markup interesting content anywhere. Click on the link - and voila! It's directly moved in your story-editor. This bookmarklets also work with Antville and Twoday. We found them at antville/help. Credits to hns for his good work...

We believe in URLs! You can easily share and bookmark every single place on earth. Some examples:



http://loc.alize.us/#/geo:35.667,139.748,13,k/ for the geo located photos in Tokyo, Japan on a satellite map.

http://loc.alize.us/#/user:flickr.niznoz/ for the Flickr photos of specific user niznoz.

http://loc.alize.us/#/tag:sunset/ for the most romaintic photos on loc.alize.us showing a sunset.

http://loc.alize.us/#/page:2/ for images #51-100, if there are more than 50 photos located on the map.

Try to combine the search parameters as in http://loc.alize.us/#/user:mikk/tag:nyc/geo:40.71417,-74.00639,12,k/page:1/ The order of the parameters does not matter.

To share a loc.alize.us map view, just copy the URL from the browser address bar and post it anywhere on the net or send it via email!
