Early last week, Slashgeo was removed from Planet Geospatial RSS feed aggregator in order to reduce the duplication stories on PlanetGS and respond to the complaints James received. I'm glad to announce Slashgeo is back on PlanetGS with this significant improvement: stories already featured on PlanetGS won't be shown on Slashgeo's PlanetGS RSS feed. Since slashcode has one RSS for every section (e.g. technology, industry, etc (full list)), I simply created a section for PlanetGS-friendly stories. From now on, Slashgeo will bring only "fresh" stories to PlanetGS. PlanetGS may not bring many readers to Slashgeo, but I feel it's important to keep Slashgeo connected to the whole geobloggers community.

How will online communications evolve within the geospatial community? Is Slashgeo pertinent and what role should it have? Are there too many geobloggers?

Slashgeo's PlanetGS Section Now Obsolete 5 comments

As a followup to this story, James, the manager of PlanetGS, recently decided all Slashgeo stories will be shown on Planet Geospatial. Thus, this Slashgeo's PlanetGS section is now obsolete until the wind changes direction! Update: 11/07 11:51 GMT by S :In case you wonder, this is the right RSS feed to use for Slashgeo, which encompass all main page stories. Sectional RSS feeds will only show stories from the specific section.
Slashgeo now Over 1,000,000 Hits, Stats and Poll 4 comments

Stats don't matter. What matters is the geospatial community finding slashgeo.org useful. A little more than 9 month after launch, crossing the 1,000,000 hits mark tells us our efforts are not entirely meaningless :-) However, let's not over rejoice.. I annoyingly keep repeating to the Slashgeo Team that we have not reached the maturity we envisioned. By maturity I'm referring to the, hopefully growing, number of comments and user submittals. We must also thank many individuals within the geospatial community. Some people write great content worthed to be shared with slashgeo users. Read more below in order to get an overview of slashgeo's most meaningful stats.
