Canadian radio show CBC Radio - Q ran a bit of airtime about Outdoor Lovemap on its Valentine's Day edition we have discovered. We were trying to figure out why we suddenly got an influx of amazing Canadians?! Special thanks to raconteur Mio on the Down-Lo for shining the light on us. http://www.cbc.ca/q/ More commentary off the air on Mio's blog. http://www.cbc.ca/q/blog/2009/02/mio.html

Journalist Anna Pulley encourages folks in Chicagoland to represent properly and upload locations to the Lovemap. We agree with Anna. It may be snowy alot there but we have enough adventurous friends from Chi-Town to know there is a good deal of outdoor lovin' going on! Thanks for the kind words. http://www.examiner.com/x-3491-Chicago-Sex--Relationships-Examiner~y2009m2d22-The-Outdoor-Love-Map-has-little-love-for-Chicago

Recently called the New Riviera, the beach and island areas around Croatia have some of the most beautiful areas for outdoor fun on the map. We are happy to have had an article about Outdoor Lovemap in the top Croatian web portal Net.hr recently which has led to a huge influx of happy participants from all over that region. Welcome to you all! You can read (or just look at the photo if you don;t speak the language) here: http://www.net.hr/seks-i-veze/page/2009/02/19/0316006.html

Hooray for all of us! Thanks to being picked up by a major news source in Croatia, we pushed over the 100 mark today and keep on moving.

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!
