The Gigapan development team has released private Gigapan features which make it possible for authors of uploaded Gigapan panoramas to easily make their panoramas private. Also, the author can then share the Gigapan pano with anyone by emailing them the URL when they log in and access the private panorama. Gigapan.org is all about sharing and exploration, so we hope you use this feature wisely and sparingly. One great way to use 'private' is to upload your Gigapan pano as private, add your commentary, snapshots and geolocation, then make it public with all the i's dotted and t's crossed.
