Got this this morning: -

Panoramio is going to be acquired by Google!

The deal is set to close in about two weeks. We're excited and we
hope you are too! The acquisition will be an overwhelmingly good
thing for Panoramio uploaders and viewers alike. Uploaders will get
to leverage Google's reach, increasing the exposure of their
photographs to photophiles around the world. Viewers will get to
choose from a larger universe of photographs as Panoramio becomes
more widely known.

We understand you may have questions, so we've set up a Q&A to
help. Go to Google
to learn more.

We owe our dedicated users a debt of gratitude for making Panoramio
the success that it is. Thank you! And stay tuned; we intend to
repay that debt by bringing making Panoramio bigger and better than
ever.

Sincerely,

Panoramio Team
