I think we have to differentiate here. Some of these services have pages *about* an object (like foursquare, TripAdvisor, ...) and others have pages maintained *by* the "object" (company etc.) itself, e.g. facebook, myspace, twitter, ... If we allow "website" as link out of OSM it'd like to allow links to the second group above as well, as long as the content is freely accessible (i.e. no registration or login required to view the content). We might also think of allowing links to the first group, but it should be restricted to open data databases/content (e.g. we already link to wikipedia). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
