Outdoor advertising Fidonet in Yaroslavl

Anyone who comes to Panoramio's geo-photo hosting at www.panoramio.com/photo/62085526 will surely notice that not only the avenue and new houses are visible on the geolocated photo, but also an outdoor advertising stand with an invitation to watch the YarFido.Ru website, to call Telephone 959-818, connect to Fidonet in Yaroslavl:



The same photo (according to information on the Panoramio website) was also chosen for placement in Google Earth on the “Panoramio” layer.

Among those people who tirelessly consider Fidonet Network to be quiet, the response from this photo was significant. In the past, Fido advertising was only a newspaper (or banner on the Internet), and not outwardly. Photos are discussed in the blog at Exler (who is himself a former fidoshnik), about him published the news on Reedus .

Since on the website Panoramio a map is attached to each photo indicating the place where it was taken, one of Exler’s readers in Yaroslavl visited that place, did not find Fidonet’s advertisements there and concludes that Photoshop. (This is also due to the bright white background color of the poster.) The author of the photo (Dmitry Ignatov, 2: 5028/66), however, assures Ru.Fidonet.Today that the photo is genuine, white is the result of uncompromising color correction, and the picture was taken was in October (which explains the current absence of this advertisement in that place).
