After several months of work, Awespot is finally becoming an open beta for everyone to play with.
And it comes with a big update: you can now search for spots (which was a major lack, now fixed).
Give it a try and let us know (by mail or in the comments) what you think of it!
You can also follow the Facebook page or the Twitter.

After much work, the process of adding a new spot has been changed. It’s now simple and fast, you can do it in less than 10 seconds!
- First, make sure you’re logged in
- Click Add a spot on the home page
- Type the name of the spot and hit Search
- If the spot doesn’t already exist, you can either:
- Create it from scratch (i.e. set the position on the map yourself)
- Or import a wikipedia article (only if the search found some results on Wikipedia)
So if I want to add the Eiffel Tower for example, I just have to search it and click Import from Wikipedia and that’s it!
Look, there’s even an auto-completion to correct spelling mistakes:
