One of Dubai’s most popular beach hotels has issued guests with an “etiquette guide” after two Brits were convicted for having sex on the beach near the hotel. We told you about this story several weeks ago but are shocked to find that they were actually convicted. The important thing to get from this story is that you want be very aware of the local culture and legal customs where you choose to make out. Titillation is one thing, going to jail in a foreign country is something entirely different. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/travel/news/article5132581.ece

Leave it to the Dutch to not only legalize outdoor love in their parks but to also ban off-leash dogs at the same time. Now this is forward thinking local government! http://www.tangomag.com/20084510/sex-in-amsterdam-park-now-acceptable.html

How awesome is it when we break into the mainstream so far that we are getting recommended by accountants?! Very excellent choice my dear bean counter. http://spitfirebookkeeping.blogspot.com/

In some of the most intelligent coverage we have received so far, Fluctuat recognizes the fun to be found in our project and recommends that folks get involved even thought the database is only at 50+ locations thus far. Leave it to the French to be the first to really understand Outdoor Lovemap! http://sexe.fluctuat.net/blog/32968-ou-pratiquer-le-sexe-outdoor-.html

While we are still experiencing some challenges with the location markers on the first page, Outdoor Lovemap has broken the 50 location hurdle with ease and grace. After being launched for only about 10 days we are definitely showing meat on our bones. Thanks to the good folks around the world who have been willing to be a first adopter! Let's Play!

Some nice words on a German blog. I'm using Babelfish more than I ever have in my life right now. http://nice-bastard.blogspot.com/2008/09/playground-mapping.html

We are stoked that www.lankarkiv.com dropped a mention of us into their blog which have no chance of translating. Surprisingly, it is suddenly the biggest referrer to the Lovemap. All we can say is Tackar så mycket!

We gave extra kudos to our design team over at nodeOne.com after puScic included our splash page design in their list of beautiful things. It is very humbling to have a website praised alongside a sunset. http://puscic.tumblr.com/post/48849702/aja-outdoor-lovemap-the-international-guide-to
