Ok, my two cents worth. Bigger images -- smaller, less overwhelming
hotspot icons. Perhaps the option to view the selected pano full screen
with no decorations or minimal controls would be useful to some.
I like the idea of the interconnectedness of the various panos. It's
a unifying concept that is unique and does knit together the work of people
who don't even know each other. We are one World and one people after all....
