Flickr Wins the Internet
Does it feel like half the things I write are mea culpas for not writing more? Yeah, it seems that way to me, too. Ugh.
This time, I have an excuse of sorts - I've been rebuilding the library on my iPod (computer crashed months ago, my iTunes library got destroyed, I can only do so much work on it before my computer crashes, and so on and so on and scooby-dooby-doo). So most of my computer time has been praying that I can get all my ABBA tunes up before the PC goes down.
But there's been an exciting new Internet development that I'm thrilled to report. Flickr, possibly the coolest thing on the Internet anyway, just got 500 times cooler with the addition of new mapping functionality. Oh. My. Goodness. You can drag your pictures onto a YahooMap and it will geotag all of them instantly. So you can see where all your pictures were taken, and see who else is taking pictures in your neighborhood.
Here's my map, with 639 of my pictures placed in pretty much the exact spot I took them. Even if that meant finding one individual tree by a roadside north of Scribner, Nebraska. Talk about a needle in a haystack.
It also generates maps for groups, like this one for the Ballparks group, and one for the Exploit Boston event photos group.

They totally win. Hands down.
