I just have to say Apple didn't become the #1 selling phone overnight, creating miles and miles of lines on launch days, without opening their doors to 3rd party apps. Actually they created a whole world around "there's an app for that" The way I see it is they can become the world best virtual cameras hardware manufacturer with tons of 3rd party apps, possibly even hosted on their server like an app store, or they will fall on their face when the next great open source camera comes along. At this point I prefer the later due to their lack of commitment.

I recently learned about the MP2SV service and was very excited. We are the in-house preferred vendor for the largest single RE/MAX office in the entire U.S., 5th in the world! After having some discussions with Chris over at MP2SV, I decided that we were going to offer this as an add on service. Tuesday I made the announcement at the monthly office meeting only to receive an email yesterday from Chris that they were being shut down. What an embarrassment this whole mess is. I don't typically announce things without watching it for a while. This is an office that has very high visibility. We were the first in Houston to heavily market Matterport and it started right here with this office. Now I've got to deal with how to backtrack...

An example of why Matterport to Google Maps is an essential tool (and we can not understand why Matterport will not allow 3rd party developers, such as @Metroplex360, to offer this tool.)

That's 100,000 views from some test shots of a hotel room that I published on 1 August 2016: less than 2.5 months ago.

Imagine the added value that we can provide our clients by scanning once and publishing twice.

I could imagine that Matterport has plans to offer publishing to Google Maps. That said, in the mean time, they should allow these 3rd party services to provide this powerful benefit to the Matterport Community. And learn from the experience too.

While the following is just for some 360ยบ test shots in my hotel room while attending Inman Connect San Francisco, you get the idea ...

For comparison, our 287 Matterport models have 481,100 impressions and 50,200 views since July 2014 (2 years and 3 months).

Yeah, the Google tours get insane amounts of traffic -- I'm rather shocked when I get these e-mails

Can someone catch me up regarding the difference between what Howner is providing and what MP2SV WAS able to provide? Why wasn't Howner shut down?

Hey! Very interested why Howner should be shut down?
BTW Howner not provided MP2SV service.

@bonduell - You were providing a Street View solution -- initially Street View, then a self serve pano download. I believe that Matterport asked you to terminate your service -- although I believe that their removal of certain assets affected you more. You developed such an amazing 'Workshop' application.

We are not providing this service, @metroplex360, you know. But matterport users can download facebook ready 360 degree panos. Matterport not asked us to stop this service.

@bonduell instead of shut down I should of said the Matterport version of "cease and desist".

Really just want to know what the difference is between what the 2 platforms provide, and is there a tool STILL available that can plug a Matterport tour into Google SV.
