I am a 3D photographer and enjoy making 360 Degree 3D Anaglyph Panoramas as can be seen on my web site http://LOOKinHERE.com/ I have found that Panoramio, 360 Cities and all other Google Earth add-ons to be rude and bigoted towards 3D Anaglyph photography. For one 360 panoramas cannot be displayed in stereo unless through a filtered lens with anaglyph being the most widely available and most popular at least amongst the general public (not including Cyclops photographers). To disallow 3D Anaglyphs is a form of censorship and discrimination to a select class of photographic artists. My 360 3D panoramas of the Hat Creek Radio Observatory have been rejected twice by somebody who has singled me out and blocked any of my picture from being added. I think they are very nice pictures and this is Panoramio’s way of telling me to get lost through their rejections which are a vicious insult in my eyes, especially when you see some of the real trash they do post to Google Earth. Not saying the rest of it is trash but there are some real loser pictures done with cell phones, blurry, and a big time stamp.
If the existing Google Earth photographic add-on providers refuse to allow Anaglyph and wish to discriminate against 3D Anaglyph photographic artists, Google needs to provide a platform exclusively for 3D Anaglyph works, it is only fair. There is no room for BIGOTRY in the Google community!

Maybe not all the ad-ons but the ones I could find all reject Anaglyphs, if it was not something people are interested in then Disney would not be making more 3D movies. And to see them at home still requires Anaglyph glasses with most displays. NASA uses anaglyph on their Mars missions. Mine are only anaglyphs of the Earth where you can see the depth and over the hill and not pornography as it is being treated. Some are 30,000 pixels by 15000 pixels and I have to shrink them to 1/10 the size for upload, my full resolution prints are available on Zazzle.com. If people don't want to look at an anaglyph picture they do not have to look, some of them I also post a flat 2D just to make the Cyclopes happy. Does Google take pride in rejecting photography for two eyed creatures? I don't think so. When you buy glasses you don't buy just one lens. The problem is the reviewers think of themselves as professional photographers and have no clue what the general public wants to see. Wal-Mart gave out millions of 3D Anaglyph glasses for a Hanna Montana special. I feel my works are worthy of Google Earth and I am insulted that the community feels a need to discriminate against 3D anaglyphs. The 360 can’t be done split or cross eyed. If the community wants to hate my works by rejecting them I have every right to be ticked off and voice my opinion, I take it as an insult.
Google needs to be respectful to all customers, if they had not discriminated against my pictures, everyone would be happy except maybe the bigot at Panoramio that started his crusade to burn Anaglyph Photographers at the stake, for his personal enjoyment. My anaglyph pictures were getting two to three times as many views as my flat 2D pictures. We now have 3D TV's and more and more 3D movies are coming out. Anaglyph glasses are the lease expensive, from FREE for paper to ten bucks for nice clip-ons. Other types of 3D glasses can cost into the hundreds of dollars. Many people and especially children have at least one pair laying around from 3D TV specials. I buy the paper glasses for 15 cents each at 100 for $15.
Google needs to get their head out of their ass and stop pissing off 3D photographers just because they want to be jerks and are two lazy to get a few pairs for their staff.
Stop being a Cyclops Google, read the first amendment.
