[liberationtech] Mapillary - crowd sourced street view for the long tail

[Peter Neubauer]

Hi all,
following this article in MIT Technology Review
(http://www.technologyreview.com/news/525216/putting-crowdsourcing-on-the-map/),
and this discussion on Twitter
(https://twitter.com/Liberationtech/status/442436326047367168) I think
you might appreciate testing out Mapillary and contributing. Here are
some of the areas we want to cover over the next few years:

- trails, tracks, national parks, nature reserves, camping sites and
other areas where cars and professional equipment is not available,
not feasible or not able to get there in a timely fashion
- monitoring and assessment/follow-up of projects, construction sites
and other areas over time
- mapping of areas where no other visual information is available
(slums, rural areas, catastrophic sites)
- monitoring of crops, forrests etc over time
- private mode for non-pixelated and private pictures of your
back-yard, family and car :)

Feel free to join in, this took about 3h for two people walking with
smartphones: http://www.mapillary.com/map/im/16/33.9834918917949/-118.46370935440063
